Portishead - Dummy (1994)
A great way to start the year. This gem, recently purchased on vinyl, sounds as much the outsider as it did 23 years ago.
commentsIt’s an absolute mess of a record and what is most surprising is that works at all. There’s a genuine musical/performance twist around every corner and it’s brilliance is that you relive this every time you listen to it.
While it’s not as abrasive and truly pioneering as Cabaret Voltaire, it has a similar sense of uniqueness. It couldn’t be any further removed from their previous “mainstream” release “Dummy”.
I’ve realised tonight what a fucking amazing record it is! Most definitely vinyl worthy. It’s now on my list.
