Massive Attack vs Portishead - Teardrop on Roads

[@danosaur55]

In case anyone didn't know, Geoff Barrow the brains behind Portishead was first a studio tech for Massive Attack, when he was still a teenager. He recorded a demo of "Sour Times" using leftover studio time that Massive Attack had paid for. The fuzzy distortion of "Roads" isn't digital, he recorded the tracks on vinyl then rode over them with his skateboard.

[@TheSoldier0fortunE]

Thats a useless fact im totally gonna take and use in the future on a random 5am comedown when i put on some massive attack or portishead when everyone can barely string a sentence together. Thanks man.

It’s Epic.

[@jamesrosado2929]

Merrynothing; you stated it perfectly. Sometimes the BEST things in life are kept secret and guarded lest they become devalued by the ignorant masses. It’s been said to Cast Not your Pearls Before Swine. The people I work with always break my balls about listening to my “Weird” music. I tell them coming from you that’s the highest firm of compliment.

Two of my favourite bands ever in a seamless mix - heaven with tears.

It's been 3 years since I heard this mash up for the first time. It was the first time we met, this mash up played in the bar we went to, and that night I knew she was the One. 203 days later we broke up, but I never stopped loving her, and not a day goes by without me regretting that I didn't tell her how much I love her..

[@TheSoldier0fortunE]

Did you ask her how she felt that night you both were sitting there listening to this? Not that night, obviously. Dont wanna seem like a fucking maniac of course. But later?

[@911nacky]

If it's true love, think of her in your life and you can get her back

​@@911nackyuhhh maybe DON'T follow this guys advice. 😂

[@peuloose]

This makes me very emotional. Both of these songs always kinda went together in my head, at least in a playlist. These are both of my mom's favorite tracks, and this is the ultimate song to remind me of her. It's like... her theme almost. Love you mom, thank you for making 90% of my musical taste and culture, I'll pass it on for you

Love of music in all its various forms. It has been a major legacy to me from both parents. Lucky one of them is still with me but truly know the pain of being without your Mom x

[@princessmakaba8717]

This song feels like a taste of life and death. Ice and fire. Love and hate. A taste of dreams and nightmares. Fear and Joy. Like witnessing the birth of a baby And seeing someone bleed to death later that day. I can't put my finger on it but it's there. It's a crisp taste I can't describe.

[@Lh0mmevert]

Visceral is the word you're looking for, I think. Straight to the soul.

[@dondamartin7375]

I remember driving a car full of friends, playing tapes with Massive Attack and Portishead albums loud. The road was straight, it was getting dark, and waiting for Teardrop and Roads, which took the entire time of listening to the other songs on the album, was replaced by the euphoria of listening to them. And so audio cassette player continued to play autoreversals. Every time I hear those songs, I'm in that car again.
