PORTISHEAD: “Portishead” 2LP
Double vinyl reissue of Portishead’s self-titled second album from 1997.
With Portishead, the band chose to eschew sampling other records, which had been a defining feature of their debut album Dummy. Instead, they created original pieces which they wove into the songs, resulting in a more textured sound. The only song to employ samples was “Only You”, which incorporates elements of Ken Thorne’s Inspector Clouseau score and The Pharcyde’s “She Said”. “Western Eyes” is listed as sampling “Hookers & Gin” by the Sean Atkins Experience in the album’s liner notes. In reality, this song does not exist; like most of the samples on the album, it was created by the band.
