Adrian from Portishead has composed a fifteen minute soundtrack to a walk in some ancient forests in Hertfordshire!

As Texans L&O acknowledge, " you have to be careful when mixing something as timeless as Portishead ". But they've made a good job of it. There's an extra dub feel on the beats, some extra strings. The whole thing is a touch less anguished and a touch more lush. And if you liked that, try this FREE download of their remix of The XX - Sunset Blurb: Libations & Oscillations consists of a ragtag band of ne’er-do-well’s who are just as likely to pick your pockets as rock your ear sockets. Fueled by [...]

In the past few weeks, Music Is Art has shared PJ Harvey , and Interpol as two fall essentials to listen to during the autumn season. Portishead is simply another. Their albums Dummy, Portishead II, Live at Rose Ballroom, and Threads should all be enjoyed right now, and singer Beth Gibbon's solo album Out of Season. However different a song of theirs feels all blends into becoming reminiscent of what October looks like, think golden fallen leaves, strong wind and stormy days, pumpkins on old porches, romantic ivory candlelight, [...]

AUDIOSCOPE is perhaps one of the highlights of Oxford's musical year: Despite hosting Truck Festival and punching well above its weight in the musical stakes, the city of dreaming spires combines its love for great music and charitable causes by hosting the one-day festival which raises money for Shelter in the process. In the build up to the event, AUDIOSCOPE have revealed the second annual compilation: Music For A Good Home . The massive 40 track record, which stretches to over three hours, features cuts from Four Tet, Clinic, a Portishead reworking of Ride's 'Moonlight Medicine' and this [...]

M.I.A. live on KEXP in 2007 photo by Christopher Nelson Wondering where a certain record might land in KEXP’s countdown of the top albums of the last 40 years ? You’re not the only one. KEXP reached out to some of our favorite Seattle music writers and asked them to predict what records they anticipated seeing in the voter final results. These aren’t personal Top Ten or Best Of lists, but “educated guesses” based on each individual’s expertise in a certain genre as well as his or her familiarity with the musical universe of KEXP.

Portishead - Roseland Ballroom, New York City, 1997

After the timely death in July last year, Amy Winehouse became much more popular than she was in the lifetime. It was like a boom - everybody was listening to Amy Winehouse, everybody was buying her albums and so on. I am not saying that she wasn't a good singer, but you cannot not admit that her songs became much more popular after her death. Source In a recent interview for Electronic Beats , Geoff [...]

The art of the remix is by no means a new one. Remixing has been around for longer than you probably realize. There's record of remixing as far back as the 10th century, when priests composing Gregorian Chant would 'quote' melodic lines and even lyrics from other works. Keep in mind that this is a full 11 centuries before technology gave every Frank and Sally the ability to chop up their favorite track and proclaim it a remix. Remixing is nothing new, but that doesn't mean it's getting old. Some of the best tracks in recent memory have [...]

______________________________ ____________________________ 100. Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" Face Value , 1981 Phil Collins wrote a song about his divorce that was so taxing, macabre, and vitriolic that people actually thought he witnessed the death of another human and was seeking either atonement or vengeance with the line, “I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life.” In truth, Collins just knew that wretched heartbreak would find him sooner or later. Look at his sad face! But [...]

Before my brother abandoned music and confined his musings to film alone ( Take Me To Your Cinema blog ) every week he would pick out 10 tracks for Music Like Dirt. He was a good musical foil, enlightening me to countless sounds I would otherwise never have noticed, but perhaps its time for another crack at more regular roundups again. So here are 10-ish current-ish tunes rocking my world, all handily wrapped in a playlist from the new music sharing site whyd.com or a truncated (not all available) Spotify list . There may be another [...]

Portishead - MACHINEGUN ( Jimmy Edgar EDIT) [ mp3 SoundCloud] asomething what Jimmy did for his Boiler Room B2B set with Scuba
![[Listen] Portishead: "Machine Gun" (Jimmy Edgar Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4480074_lg.jpg)
En lo personal, debo decir que me resulta un poco complicado imaginar el como sonaria un remix de Portishead e incluso, no me imagino que es lo que ha de pasar por la mente de las personas que se animan a remezclar alguna de sus canciones. Digo, hay ocasiones en las que sus canciones parecen ser remezclas de las originales, asi que no estoy tan seguro de lo que se les podria quitar o agregar. Pero bueno, el caso es que Jimmy Edgar ha decidido hacer lo suyo con "Machine Gun", y debo reconocer que el resultado me [...]
