[CRAZY-HORSE]

PORTISHEAD "portishead" cd,1997.

Wow!, i forgot a had another Portishead cd,thought "dummy" was the only one i had(guess that makes me a dummy then???)...
now it all comes back to me...Tem is a huge Portishead fan, told him i disliked "dummy" immensely three or so years ago, he recommended this one saying that fans either prefer the sounds of that one or this one...so as a 'dummy' i took him up on it and bought it to see if it would make me alter my opinion of these guys and gal!
alas, not really, still seems to be the same overbearing deep bass sounds here, and again, wouldnt call it real music,simply backing sounds and samples to go with the lyrical content.
i wouldnt even call the sounds emotive,brooding or even enhancing to the lyrics...just simply sounds.
but like that other dumb cd of theirs i still say i love Beth Gibbons' harrowing yet endearing and mournful vocals, but that alone is not enough for me to say i like this one, even though i certainly like a lot more tracks on here than on 'dummy',
