I wish they still made music like this! The closest modem thing that is as mellow as this (that other 17 year olds will listen to) is mellow dubstep, for example skream. I am so jealous of the generation who were Braught up with this :'/
@zakifarrah I think he's running a pen or something over the strings. I've seen some guitarists use a drumstick to disturb the strings like that. Nels Cline from Wilco and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead have done similar things with screwdrivers and whisks and the like. Any small rod like object will work. At the beginning I think there's a tremolo pedal on the chords (couldn't say which one though).
@zakifarrah : It's known as `glissando guitar', originated by Syd Barrett but fully developed by Daevid Allen of Gong, who stroked the guitar strings with a series of gynaecological tools which he found to be ideal for the job. It is augmented by plenty of echo delay to give the sound its hovering spacious quality.
I could be mistaken but experience learned me that the Blackness in Beth here eyes and the way she gazes like she is staring into outer space.Is accomplished only in 1 way and that is by taking mind altering drugs(if i have to gues,Beth strikes me as a speed kind of woman)yther way i'm confinced that she is under the influence here.I have seen myself staring into the bathroom mirror like that enough to reccognise that typpical gaze;)But again i could b mistaken although unlightly:P:P
@rabuu2 seems to me that you were the one on some type of mind-altering drug when you typed and posted your comment. i could be mistaken, but it is unlikely.
@rabuu2 how is Beth a 'speed type of woman'? If I had to guess her drug of choice, I'd go straight for heroin...not implying she's on it here. I think the gaze you've noticed here can be attributed to a combination of 3 things:
1. a genuine state of deep sorrow
2. the blackness of her eyes contrasted by the pale skin and bright hair
3. the fact you want her to be on something you're on
@StavroginNikolai She did speak of "take a ride, have a shot now" in Sour Times... Dont really know much about drugs but I know that a "shot" is usually heroin..
Yet again another brillant live performance Beth's voice is so amazing. Such great music in the 90's compared to the crap we listen to now a days. I wish more people from my generation would listen to real music like this and trully apriciate it. Long live Portishead <3
this song always used too scare the shit out of me lol i got dummy on an itunes shuffle last night and its been stuck in my head all day today, i havnt listened too trip hop for years i think i find it even scarier this time around!!!
Ah, 1994 and a Bristol band coming to fame. I live there then. The problem is that I never once heard about them at the time. I was more into drinking whiskey and climbing that hill above Saltford, Bristol. If only I knew about them at the time. I could have got pissed on whiskey, climbed that hill and listened to Portishead at the same time.
Brings back such good memories of the mid 90s. Sad to say that since people nowadays listen to such crap, if Portishead debuted now they probably wouldn't get as much love. Thanks for posting this!!
