Portishead Third
Voto:
Ghemison, given your reviews, I’d say we have pretty similar tastes. Trust me, buy this CD blind. It’s more electronic than the others, more kraut rock, less noir but more unsettling, more "epic," as awkward as that sounds in this context. Anyone who says "once upon a time there were the Portishead" is someone who wanted another Dummy. But the greatness of Portishead lies in having made three albums, each different from the other, although with a shared identity. No more scratching, now there are acid guitars and hypnotic keyboards. "Once upon a time THERE were Portishead"... and fortunately I add that!!! Too easy to repeat the same old soup (as brilliant as it was). Let’s embrace the changes, as they are what enrich us, not the usual (albeit beautiful) tunes.

I only have Rembrandt Pussyhorse, which, every time I play it in the car, makes me go off the road. I'm thinking about getting Psychic Powerless too... and the one with the clowns on the cover whose title I can't remember. Do you recommend them?

I only have their first "Nada!" from '85 or so. Very epic dark wave. I like it a lot. This one seems more introspective.

bjorky, how is your silence no longer dying? I got the original, but silence still freezes at minute 4.59.

Il_Paolo, when you say noise post everything New Zealand, are you by any chance referring to the Dead C? Because they are really a post everything New Zealand noise band. If you know them, I highly respect you.

Il_Paolo: I was really little when I watched it... I didn't understand these nuances. But now I’m quite curious. I remember a part of the theme song where Paul was going up the escalators while simultaneously going down through the bottom part.

In my opinion, the best theme song was the one from "The Magical World of Paul"... that cartoon with the teddy bear with cross-shaped pupils who had strange powers and where Paul went around in a sailboat with wheels. Do you remember it? Well, the theme song was unbeatable. It sounded like something made by Alberto Camerini but sung by a child.

Hi Trell... yes. You must regret it, and bitterly too.

Anyway, from the live performance, it seemed to me there was something of the American roots punk of the early '80s, like Gun Club and Violent Femmes.

I saw him live in a small bar here in Verona at the end of 2006. It was one of the best shows of my life. The audience was right in the middle of the band and vice versa. There was a 60-year-old drunk who kept dancing and hugging him, saying "te podaresi eser me fiol" (transl: you could be my son), interrupting the songs, and he replied, "sorry, I don't understand what you are meaning," but he returned the hug. In the end, I offered him a beer. He's a very shy guy.
