PORTISHEAD Dummy (2017 UK/EU limited edition 10-track LP pressed on heavyweight black vinyl. Portishead’s sublime 1994 debut Dummy remains one of the defining albums of the decade: a haunting fusion of noir-shaded atmospheres, downbeat rhythms and the unmistakable voice of Beth Gibbons. Crafted by producer Geoff Barrow with a meticulous, cinematic sensibility, the record established the band as central architects of the Bristol sound and earned them the 1995 Mercury Music Prize. Featuring the singles “Numb”, “Sour Times” and “Glory Box”, the album blends dusty sampling, spectral electronics and bruised torch-song melodrama into one of the era’s most distinctive sonic signatures. Picture sleeve with original cover artwork, factory sealed. Highly recommended)
