Portishead's first album. More moody than their
subsequent work, and with a more frequent use of
sampling and
electronic instruments. Mmm...
theremin, this is truly (...incoming
trite cliché...) timeless music, despite being created on state-of-the-art equipment -
samples of
Weather Report,
Isaac Hayes and
Lalo Schifrin abound, and the
melodies are
Morriconish enough to make
Clint Eastwood do a
volte-face and
squint.
