Live Performance Inc Tracks from 1st 2 LPS - highly recommended!
Along with Massive Attack and Tricky, Portishead were part of the Bristol triumvirate that popularized trip-hop in the early nineties. But what made them stand out was their added elements of cool jazz and soundtrack samples to their slow, scratched-up elastic beats, creating an atmospheric and seductive sound that appealed to a broad audience.
In 1998, when they realised that fans were swapping bootlegs of their live shows like crazy, Portishead decided to capture a unique performance. 'Roseland NYC' was a one night stand of sorts at the New York City Roseland Ballroom, where Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Beth Gibbons were joined by the 35-piece New York Philharmonic Orchestra. These new arrangements gave a new sense of dramatic tension, and in the process they created one of the most breathtaking albums of the genre.

Last FM Information on Portishead

Portishead are an English band formed in 1991 in Bristol. Portishead are named after Portishead, Somerset, eight miles west of Bristol, along the coast. The band comprises vocalist Beth Gibbons, producer Geoff Barrow and musician Adrian Utley.
Portishead's debut album, Dummy (1994), fused hip hop production with an atmospheric, cinematic style reminiscent of spy film soundtracks. The album was met with commercial and critical acclaim, quickly becoming a landmark album in the emerging trip hop genre. However, the band disliked being associated with the term, and would consciously step away from that sound on later releases. Two other studio albums have been issued: Portishead in 1997 and Third in 2008, both of which received similar acclaim. In 1998, the band released a concert album, Roseland NYC Live.
