Definitely poop. ๐
So poop I double posted!
Oh well it did sound like it was a bit of an odd project. Will give it a listen when i get home anyway.
I'm a Portishead fan in the sense that the vast majority of Portishead fans are.
I've got their first album.
Have there been others?
You Dummy ๐Have there been others?
Dudes got an awesome synth collection though
yeah there have. some of Geoff Barrow's recent output (Beak, Quakers etc all on his Invada label) has been quite good imo.
This is his finest moment
Think Portishead have done only 3 albums
Dummy
Portishead
Third
There is also the PNYC live album which is a live recording of album material
Beth Gibbons did a solo album and as above Geoff Barrow has done a few things as well
Andy Smith did a Portishead Radio 1 essential mix back in 1995.
It's very good indeed.

Well, thanks for including me in such a sweeping generalisation. ๐
Seeing as how every time I've seen them, that's six so far, IIRC, and every gig has been packed, I'd say that most of their fans have all of their recorded output.
I was sold on them before Dummy came out, same with Goldfrapp, after reading features about them in Time Out, about their first singles, and because they're local.
Thanks to a workmate, who swapped studios with them, I got my two albums and DVD signed by Beth and Geoff, as well.
Speaking as a music fan, rather than someone who just wants background music at dinner parties...

Love this mix. I still have it somewhere.
Check out the Quakers album for a quality Portishead offshoot project.
Seen them a couple of times, ATP was amazing, Hammersmith Apollo after Third came out made me want to kill people though. Full of people chatting! Go to a pub you arseholes, I wanna listen to the band!
My friend was at the recording of Live at Roseland, and won't ever let me forget it. Bastard.
Saw them at Ashton Court a few years ago. They wuz good live, mind. Couldn't get into Third, though.
Saw them at The Trinity Centre, Bristol, Bath Pavilion, Ashton Court, Colston Hall, Bristol O2 Academy, doing the Tsunami Appeal, along with The Coral and Robert Plant, and a couple of other local gigs.
