portishead

[pistol_pete]

with all the talk of portishead round here i gave them a listen...
been listening to portishead - portishead

the vocals arent very nice to listen to are they?...annoying they are.......... are they different on other albums?

i like the title track of AND and the antimatter stuff(especially angelic and flowers) ...and i love everwake and pairsienne moonlight...
i need some more meloncholic songs with female vocals...

 

[Mariner]

beth gibbons is a goddess! annoying... *grumble grumble*

listen to 'roads' 'glorybox' and 'sour times' as well.

 

[Allan]

I agree about the vocals but it's not on every song, I like songs like "Undenied", but most of the time she sings in this weird unnatural way.

sorry mariner! it just annoys me, what i've heard so far anyway.....

 

[Don Corleone]

well check out other bands...the gathering, hooverphonic...

 

[Mariner]

yeah hooverphonic doesnt matter what album. or just check these songs: mad about you, vinegar and salt, battersea, eden, one, inhaler (they were called 'hoover' by then), frosted flake wood.

i hope you will worship us for telling you

 

[Bastet]

not my kind of thing, hooverphonic...

 

[Dora]

i like hooverphonic.. and just check the whole genre of trip-hop, you can find samples as well.. Go for Lamb, too!! heres a good site:

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

hey i have a question. do you say 'portis - head', or 'porti - shead'?

 

[Falconspirit]

Porte ta tete

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

haha.

 

[LostLenore]

I like Portishead but after a few songs her voice gets on me nerves somehow.

The old Hooverphonic is nice, I like the atmosphere but that Jackie Cane -Live thing... too arty-farty for me.

I even bought the soundtrack from the film Shades... same guys (Hooverphonic)

Lunascape is quite nice too.

 

[sol83]

ahhhhhh. beth gibbons is only the best female vocalist on the planet. bad vocals?!?!?!?!?! you people need help!!!

 

[Don Corleone]

for hooverphonic, i can definitely say, get "a new stereophonic sound spectacular"

excellent album

and it works really well in some very intimate moments hehe

 

[contaminant]

their song called "roads" is really good i think but you should listen it by aaron, the lead singer of my dying bride.

 

[EdenKriss]

ahhhhhh. beth gibbons is only the best female vocalist on the planet. bad vocals?!?!?!?!?! you people need help!!!

yep.

Forget the 2nd album, try "Dummy". On a hundred thousand coffee tables, but still not too bad. My mate's brother had the honour of being the last bloke she shagged before she turned lemon fresh. Allegedly.

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

I nominate Vespertine by Bjork.
