Product Description:
The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man," and the same approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album. "Sour Times" (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody loves me, it's true") and the more cryptic "Glory Box" are the linchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene that spawned Barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack. --Douglas Wolk
Customer Reviews:
 This Is Porishead , 2008-12-23
By far the best album Portishead has, i ripped the album at 320kbs and have listened to it so much its near 190kbs. The blend of classic trip hop style and modern sketching is amazing. For any fan of Massive Attack and Portishead and trip hop in general, if you do not have this album, you are missing out.
