Does anyone know anything about this group that provides backing vocals for the track Deep Water ? Are they what they say they are, i.e. a choral society drawn from the rank and file of a supermarket chain ?

Beth Gibbons has a brilliant, extraordinary voice. This does *not* mean "she sounds nice when she sings"; "she has the 'voice of an angel'", or "she'd do a mean aria". It means: she sings, and you listen. She sings, and she communicates. In my view, she has one...

Good points about them not following their exact original sound due to the fact that in theory that would be more of a commercial ploy. But in all reality Portishead puts out exactly what they want to put out, their new stuff explores completely different emotions. For me it is much more towards the...

Hi, The intro to the album Third (track: Silence) is a sample of Claudio Campos - does anyone know the translation? thanks

Like the rest of the shows, the setlist was as expected - but Roads was a definite highlight - best execution of the track of all. Pity about the decks not working for the first 3 tracks ([P] took 5 minutes to get it sorted after Mysterons - then all was insane) I was one of the lucky 30 or 40 first...
