Title: THE ALBUM THAT TURNED ME ON TO TRIP-HOP
Review: Back in '97,I heard Portishead's "Only You" and fell in love with it.It was the first trip-hop song I had ever loved and that alone made me pick up a copy of their self-titled '97 release(which I believe was one of the best albums of that year).I loved it as well.Beth Gibbon's sad,Dido-like voice paints the darkness of moodof trip hop in Technicolor even while sounding dreary.This album is full of gems:"Cowboys","Humming","Seven Months.I may not be a "proper" dance music critic butI know good music when I hear it and "Portishead" is right up there.Also recommended on the trip hop tip are Morcheeba,the ingenious Tricky,and Massive Attack(I used to love those guys).Also check out Portishead's exellecent '94 debut,"Dummy".
