I'm late for the party but I feel that these comment section is missing a praise for Olivia Coleman (yes, that actress) cover for this baby making song:
With its dark and seductive vibe, the song already had so much going for it. However, the icing on the cake was the brilliant decision to include the very tasty Isaac Hayes sample. Pure perfection.
Wes Borland turned me on to Portishead. I think their big break was maybe the Tank Girl soundtrack with (I think?) Roads?! Not 100% on that. .... I remember knowing who they were when I was young, but not being really familiar with them or diving into their work. When I first heard Sour Times, I was hooked. I was upset I didn't really give them attention long ago. And they've now been a favorite for years. Dummy gives me Disintegration by The Cure vibes. Not sure why.
Beth Gibbons is a goddess.
Yes
Fantastic song from a brilliant album, one of my eight Desert Island Discs
Solid choice, what are the other seven?
Eventually, hopefully starting later this year, I’ll be writing posts about each of my Desert Island Discs. Here are the other seven:
• Scott Walker - Scott 4 (1969)
• Men at Work - Business As Usual (1982)
• The Lover Speaks - The Lover Speaks (1986)
• Lowest of the Low - Shakespeare My Butt (1991)
• Zero 7 - Simple Things (2001)
• Beck - Sea Change (2002)
• case/lang/veirs - self-titled (2016)
Nice, we should do something together soon.
Sure, drop me a DM sometime and we’ll work it out
True but Roads! Roads is why my kids exist.
actually Roads, and all of Kid A.
Fuck yes!! 🤣
2 wicky, by the ACTUAL kings of Trip Hop, Hooverphonic.

Masterpiece!!!
Van Morrison probably should reign over ALL in the music-procreation universe (perhaps co-regents with Al Green and Barry White)
This album!! ♥️🔥
Sour Times (!!!!), Glorybox, Roads, Mysterons....
Had this CD on repeat for years and never tired of it.
Same with many Thompson Twins songs

Great song
Great song, great album. Can't remember how I first heard them 🤔.

Same, I think I heard them in a movie or something! But then Sour Times was my gateway too into the rest of the album.
Don't have kids but love this song!
