As a disclaimer, please excuse the cheesy visuals of this YouTube clip. It's all about the song anyway, so just spark one up and...
What a fucking gem! In 2010, a heavyweight LP titled "Portishead - Remixes (Chapter 1)" was released featuring seven songs by other artists, remixed by Portishead. What makes this compilation so special to me is that these hard-to-find tracks are dated, and have that narcotic trip-hop groove that Portishead helped pioneer in the 90's. Though I don't own a copy of this record, I will be searching eBay for a copy. Unfortunately, my life continues for the moment sans turntable. This compilation was only released on vinyl.
The dubby, spaced out beat, and cosmic wah-wah of the guitar bring me to that dark, special place. Add the female back up vocals and the film-noir keyboard samples, and you've got me hooked.
