    I'm being biased here, but the whole album, Dummy, is a mood. A work of art, a masterpiece. Trip Hop at it's finest. I find singer Beth Gibbons' voice intoxicating, it takes me places. Dummy is one of my all time favourite albums.
    They're a Bristol based band, in the South West of England. Portishead is a coastal town.

    Portishead along with Massive Attack are the undisputed kings and queens of the Trip Hop genre, highly recommend checking out the following tracks. For Portishead, "Glory Box" live from Roseland NYC, "Humming" and "Western Eyes" as for Massive Attack "Dissolved Girl", "Black Milk" and "Group Four". Both albums, Portishead's Dummy and Massive Attack's Mezzanine are considered by many to be in the top 100 albums of all time, so while they haven't known huge commercial success, those in the know and those inside the music industry these 2 groups are legend.

      The commercial success thing is bit of a myth, in my opinion. While it's fair to say that in comparison to the sales of some of the garbage produced today their sales were insignificant, their music has been used in hundreds of movies, TV shows and commercials over the last 2+ decades, and they have the kind of longevity 99% of the bands out there today could only ever dream of. Massive Attack are still touring and selling out every gig, that's been built solely on their back catalogue and the staying power of their music. There aren't many bands today who could possibly be selling out massive venues in 20 years, let alone now.

    Genre is Trip-Hop and it is epitomized by artists like Portishead, Tricky, UNKLE, Wax Tailor, Bonobo, Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack, etc.
    The bass Bead pointed out is a big part of the genre, a genre that sits beside and intermingles with similar genres hip-hop, chill, downtempo, even jungle fits in there a bit.
    “Overcome” by Tricky; “Life In Mono” by Mono; “6 Underground” By Sneaker Pimps; “Your Girl” by Blue States; “Days To Come” by Bonobo; “You Wish” by Nightmares On Wax; “Glory Box,” “Sour Times,” or “All Mine” by Portishead; “Waiting In The Line” by Zero 7; “Que Sera” by Wax Tailor; “Teardrop” by Massive Attack; “Trigger Hippie” by Morcheeba.

    Massive Attack is another Trip Hop band to check out with early hits like Blue Lines, Protection, Unfinished Symphony to their masterpiece Mezzanine album, Angel and Tear Drop being big tracks and videos or newer work like Voodoo In My Blood.
    Can't forget Tricky out of the trip hop mix with amazing tracks like Aftermath, Black Steel, Makes Me Wanna Die, Hell Is Around The Corner, Hollow, Excess and Evolution Revolution Love.

      Faithless pioneered the progressive trance sound, sadly it became much too popular and rubbish. But Rollo and Sister Bliss were amongst the first to do the whole hands on the air peaks (ironically partly based on getting around the Criminal Justice Act's ban on repetitive music exclusively for dancing - progressive trance mixed it up so as not to be repetitive).
