[@AngelofSunday]

Ok guys. Serious AF. The WHOLE Live in NYC album with an orchestra is fire beyond fire. One of the few live albums that are as close to perfect as one could get. I promise you won’t be disappointed. The live version of Roads would be a good start!! And this song is super fire on that album too.

[@SigRho1429]

My man, try “Flight Facilities Live w/ The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra”. That’s another “close to perfect as you can get” album, you’ll love it.

Portishead Dummy is a life changer. They only released 3 proper albums but each one is unique and highly innovative. The instrumentation is deviously complex in its simplicity. Can’t wait for more Portishead reactions!

Trip-hop is the tastiest cocktail-elixir, blending the best ingredients of hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul, rock, ambient, electronica, drum&bass. That's trip-hop!

I rarely listen to this song or Sour Times bc unfortunately they just got so worn out for me, but Roads, Wandering Star, and Biscuit are a few Portishead songs that I have never gotten tired of after all these years. Humming and Undenied too, from the next album.

The 90's were goated, we had the best music movies and so on. The music diversity in the 90's is unparalleled

[@heavenstibetsee5716]

I've always felt like that. Even though I know I'm a product of my time, its hard to deny what you're saying. Like the 1960's and 70's people could just feel a cultural explosion underway. If you grew up in the 1990's you could feel it. Video games, CDs, laptops, cell phones, and jadedness, were all becoming mainstream. It was a great time to be alive.

[@keiseiwoe]

Mysterons too!!

[@smittyramirez522]

Mysterons (perfect blend of guitar, samples, scratching, and Beth's voice), Biscuit (darker vibe but great groove), Sour Times (another accessible single), Roads (essentially a ballad over a sick laidback hiphop beat) and Wandering Star (driving yet still subdued, easy to vibe to) are all strong recommendations from the 1st album. Humming (ridiculous groove after the string intro), All Mine (another big single, big band meets hip hop), and maybe Seven Months (more aggressive vocals but strong chorus with a sick beat and fun stop/start dynamics in the verses) would be good from the 2nd album. The 3rd album is not as easy to get into (though I love it) but Machine Gun is probably the best bet.

[@aquablushgirl]

Reminds me of my third year at university. Tricky, Massive Attack and Portishead were so new and cool and had such a unique sound.

Portishead are brilliant. Their "Dummy" album is a beginning to end classic. Lots of scratching involved and even Hip-Hop sounding beats. Also, if you do any other songs by them, you have to do it from their live show from Roseland NY. The sound quality is awesome and they're backed up by a symphony orchestra. It's one of their best live shows and "Roads" is really awesome from that show, but anything from that performance is gold.

[@Wrencher_86]

The live version from their concert at Roseland NY is a thing of beauty, with full orchestral backing. Roads would be your next option from this band, the whole Roseland concert is something all music fans should watch at least once.

If you like this, give the song Hell Is Around The Corner by Tricky a listen. He used the same sample as they did and to good effect. This song is a game changer for me as a guitarist that grew up on metal, punk, power pop and shoegaze. Well done, guys!

@@jontspam4134 It was pretty common in the 90s to just grab a sample and loop it, most 90s hip-hop is the same.

My philosophy is that if it sounds good I dont really care how it was made or how complicated it is.

Live in NYC is amazing. Saw them twice n the second time (for some reason) was my best live experience.

One of the best bands ever, just a bunch of musical geniuses that happened to come together, I wish they made more than 3 albums (they've supposedly been working for 20 years on the 4th lol) The Rip is for me for sure one of the top 5 songs ever recorded, and this one, Roads, and All Mine are all up there too

Still can't wait for you to react to songs from Massive Attacks debut album Blue Lines... So much great early hip-hop sounds.
