Portishead - Dummy, Vinyl

Portishead – DummyFormat: VinylOriginally released in 1994, Dummy is the Mercury Prize-winning debut that defined the trip-hop genre and established Portishead as a primary force in British electronic music. Recorded at State of Art studios in Bristol, the album blends film noir atmospheres with hip-hop breakbeats, jazz-inflected instrumentation, and the haunting, emotive vocals of Beth Gibbons. The record features the landmark singles Sour Times and Glory Box, alongside the atmospheric opener Mysterons.

Portishead, the creative partnership of Gibbons, Geoff Barrow, and Adrian Utley, shifted the landscape of the 1990s by introducing a dark, sophisticated alternative to the contemporary pop and rock scenes. With over two million copies sold worldwide and a legacy of critical acclaim, the project remains a foundational piece of the Bristol sound. This vinyl edition captures the rich, lo-fi textures and analog warmth of a debut that continues to influence the direction of alternative and electronic artists today.Tracklist: Mysterons Sour Times Strangers It Could Be Sweet Wandering Star It's a Fire Numb Roads Cage of Liars Biscuit
