This week we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of Dummy by Portishead (Go! Beat, 1994), trip-hop trio formed by Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley. If Blue Lines by Massive Attack is the most important album of the trip-hop subgenre, Dummy is by far the most beautiful. Trip-hop was originated in UK around the city of Bristol in the early 90s. Nowadays, Lana del Rey and FKA Twigs have many to thank of Beth Gibbons' savoir-faire.
You can stream the entire album below:
Remember the original video for 'Sour Times' (sampled from Lalo Schifrin's 'Danube Incident', 1969), the best song of the album (besides well-known 'Glory Box' masterpiece):
And finally, enjoy the epic Roseland New York City Live released on DVD in 1998 and featured by The New York Philharmonic orchestra.
