    Trip-hop is such an overlooked genre, and it's 100% worth it to re-react to the Roseland NYC concert of this song. The entire concert is phenomenal, but Roads, Only You and Glory Box are not to be missed also suggest their studio versions of tracks Humming and Western Eyes. Also just have to take a second and recommend Massive Attack, who is another legendary name in Trip Hop with tracks like Dissolved Girl, Black Milk and Group Four!

    Portishead is awesome and unique. If you do any other songs by them, you have to do it from their live show from Roseland NY. The sound quality is much better than it was on this video and they're backed up by a symphony orchestra. It's one of their best live shows. ROADS is really awesome from that show. But anything from that performance is gold.

    Funny you should mention the "DJ scratching". The band recorded their own tracks to be expressly printed on vinyl so that when Geoff Barrow mans those turntables, he's actually scratching and sampling from their very own music.
    They are genuinely a different cut of musicality out there.
    Thanks for sharing this review and reaction!

    • @craigcharlesworth1538
      @craigcharlesworth1538 2 года назад +3

      Yeah I didn't realise until watching Trash Theory's video that they didn't utilise samples directly - they got a live band to recreate the sample just the way they wanted it, cut it to vinyl, deliberately damaged the vinyl in order to create the crackly, old-timey vibe they wanted and then sampled THAT. It's an incredibly time-consuming way to create music but it sounds absolutely amazing.

    • @Mannahnin
      @Mannahnin 2 года назад +3

      I think it's both. She does want to settle down and get out of the dating game, but the gender power imbalance was MORE of a factor thirty years ago than it is today.
      She is asking for love, but she's also asking the man to step up, to be better, to move and make some room so "a thousand flowers can bloom", to look at things from her perspective ("all sides if you can"), and to be willing to share his feelings ("sow a little tenderness, no matter if you cry").
      She "just want(s) to be a woman", she just needs him be a GOOD man, hence "give me a REASON to love you."

    • @Mannahnin
      @Mannahnin 2 года назад

      I think it's also a bit of a callback to old torch songs like "Why Don't You Do Right?", again with the singer entreating her man to be better.

      It's always been around, mostly in Europe. Wax Tailor is probably as well known as Portishead there (also toured with a full symphony). I assume it never got pushed by labels or radio since the majority of it is self-produced, and those who produced it also didn't just stick to one style. My other favorites back then were U.N.K.L.E., DJ Shadow, and the untouchable "Lovage: Songs to Make Love to your Old Lady By", and they still hold up.

    Entering the Portishead area was such a dope move, glad seeing that,
    Mysterons
    Biscuit
    Elysium
    Roads
    Basically the Dummy album and the NY live concert is one of the best ways to enter the trip hop segment.
    P.S. Plz next time put more attention on the instrumental part too.
    Thanks and Peace ✊🏼

    Portishead are a truly iconic British band, the album Dummy was one of the albums of the 90s. As others have said you should check out anything from their Roseland NYC live show, the song Roads is probably the standout.
    Btw, the lead singer is Beth Gibbons who features on the new Kendrick album on the song Mother I Sober. She's an absolute legend 💯

    Btw, another incredible trip hop group is Massive Attack. Maybe check out "Paradise Circus" by them!

  • @Toobeegort

    Every Portishead song is a trip in one way or another and so unique, I hope you look at more, so, try "Only You", "All Mine" and their cover of ABBAs "S.O.S." that one sends shivers down my spine.

    She did explain the meaning once because the feminists were accusing her of undermining their cause by saying she wants to be a 'Woman'. Basically the song was saying that she wants to move on from playing around and wants a more meaningful relationship but for that to happen she needs her man to also show a bit more depth and commitment. She wants him to be more of a romantic gallant gentleman so she can be more of a passionate and loving woman.

  • @Damiana_Dimock
    @Damiana_Dimock 2 года назад +2

    Trip-Hop is definitely one of my favorite genres, and Portishead is basically the epitome of the genre, and most popular band in the genre. Tricky is probably the other most popular artist in the space, he did a track with PJ Harvey, “Broken Homes” which I recommend checking out.

  • @hektikheck
    @hektikheck 2 года назад

    No way he is listening to this for the first time. This song has been omnipresent for decades in media, be it movies, series, ads, commercials,, ringtones, the superbowl?

  • @davidplasterer6159
    @davidplasterer6159 2 года назад +1

    An artist named "Tricky" sampled the baseline from this song on a really great track called "Hell is Round the Corner", def worth a listen. Love everything from Portishead, check out Seven Months. Also, lead singer Beth Gibbons did some amazing solo stuff on an album called Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man, the song "Mysteries" from that album is top 5 most beautiful songs ever written, along with Beethoven 5th symphony and Simon Jeffes' posthumous release of "lullaby" on Piano Music.

    • @jambulance

      From what I heard Tricky and Portishead sampled the same record with no knowledge of each other’s tracks because didn’t Maxinquay and Dummy come out close to eachother?

    • @tomdawson4121

    "Wandering Star" from Jools Holland - great next song to check out. Incredible band - seminal band in the 90's genre of trip hop - their 1994 album "Dummy" is one of the greatest alt-rock near perfect album of the 90's. They mix up hip hop, rock, jazz and electronica in a dark and beautiful amazing sound that no one else has ever re-created quite like them - Massive Attack and DJ Shadow or Tricky - there are many great paths to follow from this Trip Hop family. The 90's was such an amazing time for music.

  • @DanPyjamas
    @DanPyjamas 2 года назад +17

    Ohhhhhhh MY DUDE, you've stumbled into Trip hop. What a journey we have for you sir.
    Ok first of all, Portishead are amazing. Dummy (their first album) and Portishead (self titled follow up) are both fantastic.
    Also there's the live at Roseland DvD which this video may have been taken from, that has lots of quality performance material on it.
    As for Portishead tracks, my favourite is "Roads". I'd love to see you react to that.
    Then you're going to need to branch out into Tricky, particularly Pre Millennium Tension and Maxinquay. They are both fantastic albums.
    And then, perhaps some Massive attack. Basically all 3 of the earliest albums- Blue Lines, protection and Mezzanine.
    When you've done that let me know, I'll have more for you 🤣

  • @BKLYN_TZU
    @BKLYN_TZU 2 года назад +5

    The main instrumental bassline is Isaac Hayes song " ike's Rap 2" Trip-Hop was a very popular in the Early to mid '90s the fusion of East coast Hip-Hop w/Electronic music using mainly break beats really was a cool combination too bad Trip-Hop didn't survive like Techno and House music it really was a product of it's time.

    The 90s’… driving the black BMW Z3 through the streets of Los Angeles at night, Portishead playing. Finding the chill parties. ladies on MDMA who just wanted to be held. Best times of my life. Massive Attack. 1st name basis with the DJs. Kruger and Dorfmeister oh god good times. Check out Mysterons and Roads by Portishead. I particularly like the album Dummy and the album Portishead.
