Portishead... The first experience!


Well, this is the most important Trip-Hop band for my self, I know a lot of people may argue that Massive attack or tricky or some other bands are more important for the Trip-Hop movement but for me the most important is Portishead, and why is it? well back in 1998 I listened this band for the first time, my first reaction was; What genre is it? I kept on listening that album that somehow somebody borrowed me "Roseland NY Live" and I couldn't find out what genre it was, I was 15 years old so I didn't had much money to spend on music but I wanted to listen more about such intriguing band, such orchestrated electric guitars and mixers, it was a whole new experience to me, at the school nobody knew about that band, the person who borrowed me the Roseland album was in the same situation I was and Internet was not the same thing it is today some time later Napster was born and I could listen more Portishead music, some time later I could buy "Dummy" and then "Portishead" I still cannot find which album is better, both are fantastic from the first to the last song, The first experience and a fantastic experience,a lot of time passed before I could find any other band that could make me feel I was listening something different and special.

Here's my favorite Portishead song, so enjoy.
