They come across really well, I don't think they've put a foot wrong. Conceptually I think they're about as perfect as it gets within a popular culture format of music. That Peaches track is brilliant

I'm still waiting for the day that Tricky makes a great record again...(sighs)

Never been a huge Portishead fan really, but loved some of the stuff on 'P', and the Beth Gibbons/Rustin man album was a lovely record.

"The songs sounded OK as instrumental hip hop, but as soon as Beth started singing, it was like "Oh man, no way". The idea of us just trying to be Gang Starr with Beth on top just was not really interesting to any of us any more - her included. We ended up going back to early hip hop drum machines, because they were the only things we could really stand listening to. The idea of classic breaks that had been chopped up was not really palatable any more.'"

thank god.
