This is an album steeped in hip-hop that features NO rapping whatsoever. The band, essentially, is t Geoff Barrow (the tape-op for Massive Attack when Blue Lines was made), and singer Beth Gibbons. This album, released in 1994, has proven itself to be one of the pillars of the genre. Despite its two-plus decades spent soundtracking makeout sessions, it cradles a terrible loneliness in its heart. It tastes not like warm milk but coppery and bitter, like blood. Savor the irony in the title of Portishead’s debut album. In the UK, a dummy isn’t just a mannequin or an idiot it’s also what Americans would call a pacifier. Its noir, precisely layered sound-tranquilized hip-hop beats, haunted strings, and tortured guitar lines-is given soul by Beth Gibbons’s voice. You can see his point: a record as compellingly discomfiting as Dummy seems at odds with a movement that spawned multiple chill-out albums. It had sold 825,000 copies in the United. The album was certified double platinum in the UK in 1996, for sales exceeding 600,000 copies. The album was certified gold in 1997 and has sold two million copies in Europe. Although it achieved only modest chart success overseas, it peaked at number 2 on the UK Album Chart, and saw two of its three singles reach number 13. Portishead’s 1994 full-length debut Dummy received critical acclaim, winning the 1995 Mercury Music Prize.
