i remember hearing that track for the first time as i was like.... oh shit... they just went into a place that i have never heard. it was scary but fucking cool.
Ah, now I understand why Portishead and Radiohead have never collaborated: things would most defintely unravel and break... Probably create a black hole or something? Maybe CERN should employ these two bands - who knows what would be revealed? It hurts to even imagine such a thing... ;)
Back in the day when "Later" acts were chosen by talent and not diversity. It used to be the show to be seen on as it would make your music career. Nowadays it's a waste of time. Seasick Steve...
That guitar hook after the chorus though... absolutely mesmerizing!
Almost as if the vocals and bass weren't enough!? Stunning mood...
This tune reminds me of Silver Apples, pioneering stuff from the sixties. That's why I like this!!
I'm sure you've seen it by now, but there's a video on RUclips of them performing it with Silver Apples. Great stuff.
Saw the 2 first shows in Bristol when they reunited and Silver Apples was one of the guests.
This is bleedin’ brilliant. Real music by real musicians.
Espeluznante, hipnótico, delicioso, mágico, único y verdaderamente diferente a todo.
Te extraño tanto Portishead
June 2018 and it still sounds Absolutely Outstanding
I love the way she sit down with the public and wached her band very emotional! 🫶🫡
This was a special band.
Jeez, how do you describe this music,other than just bloody fantastic ! :)
They bring in the atmosphere to each of those songs. What an energy to feel and to experience. Fucking hell, I am still astounded by them.
the way they stop it ........just magic
Yes. That command of space and sound...and silence. Just brilliant.
Trop trop CLASSE ! Love everything from portishead

Portishead is generally underrated.
Carry on consegue alcançar a minha alma!
this sounds alot like joy division, love it
OK, so here it is: I set this at 0.75 speed and listened to it; then at 1.25...still amazing! Yes, I have nothing to do at the moment. :)
Similar to Pink Floyd’s Set the controls for the heart of the Sun… love it
They have one up on the Cocteau Twins with this one.
ACES!

Or maybe they hate each other?
They're a perfect match. Would love to see a collab. Beth and Tom out front would be bliss
Radiohead have covered The Rip at least, it's on RUclips.
PS, But what about that crescendo outtro? Stop it.
