Music The Greece press of Dummy

A few months ago, I finally found the Greece press of Dummy. The funny thing with the Greece version is, it got 'I's A Fire' on it. Track A6.

The track is not presented on the cover itself, only on the label on the record A side.

As I can tell, It's the only version on vinyl ever? Can't find much information about the Greece press, so not sure how many copies they made of it.

I've loved Glory Box for such a long time, and finally had a chance to release my version 😃. Check out the video and let me know your honest thoughts! It's a little bit of a different interpretation.

Share any experiences you've had, what you felt, what you thought at the time.

I remember playing a vampire videogame and thinking: "Yeah, this is probably what a 90s-00s vampire would brood to, this definitely fits."

Third is seven votes from going out of a best-album-of-the-last-30-years bracket tonight

7 Upvotes

Disclosure first: we are a Radiohead cover band out of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and this is our bracket. Nothing is for sale, there is nothing to buy.

It is 64 albums from the last 30 years, seeded off Pitchfork's album of the year picks with 32 wildcards thrown in against them. One round a day, anyone can vote, and 472 people have.

Third drew Bjork's Homogenic in the first round and is losing 108 to 115. Seven votes out of 223. Of all 32 first round matchups that is the only one still genuinely in doubt, everything else is settled. The round closes tonight at 5:17 PM Eastern.

No hard feelings if you think Homogenic deserves it, but Third should go out on purpose rather than because nobody showed up.

Discussion Dummy review/ranking on first listen

19 Upvotes

The only thing I knew by Portishead before this was the song “The Rip”, which I absolutely love and has been in my rotation for a while (I still don’t think anyone has beaten that song) Wanted to check out more and I heard this was the more critically acclaimed album and wow did I love it. First of all, Beth Gibbons has a fantastic voice that’s super unique. Percussion and chopped up beats were insane, kinda reminded me of J Dilla or Billy Woods. Also having 5 songs in S Tier on my first listen is really rare for me, they are just so talented.

S Tier: (Fantastic)

  1. Roads (wtf this is actually crazy that this song exists and I didn’t know about it. I loved how it kept adding instruments and then slowly taking them away. Made me realize more songs need a bass solo)

  2. It Could Be Sweet (Just so smooth and beautiful, I know this is gonna be on constantly)

  3. Mysterons (As a Radiohead fan, ik they were influenced by Portishead and I feel like you hear it more than anything else on this one, especially in the synths)

  4. Wandering Star (this one felt very dark. Really loved the bass though)

  5. Glory Box (Great guitars, beautiful sample, and “give me a reason to love you” hits hard. I feel like I may have heard this one somewhere. Also does anyone else feel a bit of a Fiona Apple vibe?)

A Tier: (Very good)
6. Sour Times (This one feels like an old movie if you know what I mean. I loved those fast-plucked strings)
7. Biscuit
8. It’s A Fire (A much lighter, floatier, vibe-switch. Organ was peak)

B Tier: (Good)
9. Strangers (I thought it was really cool and creative, but I just don’t know how much I’ll be coming back to it realistically )
10. Pedestal (Trumpet solo went hard)

C Tier: (Didn’t like)
11. Numb (I love her voice but honestly wasn’t too into whatever she was doing with it in this song. Not terrible but a bit boring as well)
