Portishead "Portishead"

The winter of 1997-1998 has come. And with it - one of the most anticipated albums. This is pure winter music for me. There's no such winter in Israel, so I'm not listening to this album so much. But I feel the cold each time I hear it.

I had a strange karma with this album: I was losing copies of it once in a few years: first - on tape, later - on CD's.

It's a nice consequence that I'm posting this tune today. Because I think this was my first introduction to the sound that I love so much in recent years: dark grooves, dirty drums, analogue electronics and cinematic psychedelia. Add to this the fact that this album was mixed entirely on turntables and you've got an image of the ultimate album for me.
