I was really excited when I heard that Portishead had released a new album. The whole thing sounds like a half baked effort. I listened to it one time and then tossed it in the trash. Yuch

"Trip-hop"? "Downtempo"? Although it is a dark record, between Beth Gibbons' tortured voice, Geoff Barrows' beats, scratches and samples, and Adrian Utleys' jazzy guitar: this album is pure sex. Don't believe me? Try it.

With Dummy, Portishead cemented their niche in the world of trip hop, and honestly had no obligations to carry out afterwards. Dummy was a fantastic album, good enough that even if the group had stopped there and made it a one time deal, the album would not have faded into obscurity. In any case, Portishead's early end has always felt slightly unrealized. Portishead only made two studio albums, one live album, and a few stray singles, b-sides, and rarities. It takes a very special band to be this appreciated with so little for fans to go on. The self titled album has always been the overlooked one. Dummy was clearly the better album, and considering the band only really had two albums, that makes Portishead the bands worst album. This curse of relativity is unfortunate. The truth is, it's a ...

Hot on the heels of two acclaimed studio albums, the trio of Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and singer Beth Gibbons toured the United States and in doing so worked with an orchestra and horns for a live release. It is often thought that electronic music is difficult to capture outside a studio, but "Live: Roseland NYC" is at the very least an exception. Whilst many critics have said Portishead's releases are too similar to each other, a good listen to "Live: Roseland NYC" with reveal a great many surprises about how Portishead adapt their songs to a concert setting. Contrary to what some might expect all the samples of their studio work are present, notably on "Only You" where they are used to create a crescendo effect in the middle of the song. The strings add a great deal of melody to ... Read More

As far as I know, this is not an "official" release by this band, but, I couldn't love it more. If you're not one of those people that HAS to have everything they've ever done, just stick to their major releases, you'll be just fine. This set doesn't really have any new material so to speak, it's a ton of remixes. But, as I said, I love it. Each and every track gives a new representation of two of their classics. If you breathe Portishead, you'll love this album... if you listen to them only occasionally, don't even bother, you'll most likely be let down.

9.Urbal Beats, Vol. 2 by: Wildchild, Uberzone, The Freestylers, DJ Icey, Goldie, Hive, DJ Die vs. DJ Shadows, Portishead, Orbital, 808 State May 12, 1998

No collection will ever be perfect, but this does a decent job. The first disc is what's supposed to be hot (in 98). The second is supposed to be some old school classics. Some well known artists are on here like "Prodigy", "Moby", and "Portishead". My favorite thing by far is some of who's sampled on different tracks. Samples from "Bad Brains", "Kate Bush", "The Verve", and the theme from "Twin Peaks". Overall a good comp. The 1st "Urbal Beats" is good too. Pretty much electronica's greatest hits.

Luego de la larga espera podemos disfrutar de Portishead nuevamente. El disco se diferencia un poco de los dos anteriores (demasiado tiempo los separa) pero se logra ver una progresión en su trabaja. La vos de Gibbons es mucho más madura se parece mucho al trabajo que hizo con Rustin Man, no tiene los gritos agudos que nos acostumbramos en Dummy y en Protishead, ni tampoco sus falsetes. Pero ahora presenta un vos voz más sólida. Los arreglos de Barrow ya van al extremo en este disco, el uso excesivo de secuenciadotes y sintetizadotes e incluso las percusiones eléctricas saturan el álbum. Como fan de Portishead por largos años, este disco sigue sorprendiéndome y esperando poder escucharlos en vivo en algún momento y que el próximo álbum no demore tanto. :) Sobre esta edición: El ...
