An awesome vinyl – Portishead
Portishead
- Rock
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD – playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008.The bad news is that there is no “Sour Times” to equal the first album’s greatness. Lead single “Cowboys” doesn’t do the trick, not with its ’50s sci-fi dub vibe and the Yma Sumac stylings of Beth Gibbons. The upside is that this bold sophomore release is, even at this late date in trip-hop’s evolution, still startling, thanks to the mix of Geoff Barrow’s soundscapes and Gibbons’s haunting wail.
