Glory Times

Search: Sour times
by: Portishead

Release Date May 26, 1998
Portishead only has two (soon to be three) full-length albums to their name, as well as a live album. Not so easily accessible is "Glory Times," a two-disc collection of alternate takes on two of the best songs on their debut. After this, it's hard to hear "Dummy" quite the same way again.

The first disc is taken up by three "Sour Times" mixes and two instrumentals. It opens with the gently jazzy "Sour Sour Times," before veering to the poignantly funky "Lot More," and the scratchy, raw "Airbus Reconstruction." The instrumentals are even more impressive: the ominous, stately "Sheared Times," and "Theme from 'To Kill A Dead Man," which has piano and electronica building up to a soaring string solo.

The second disc, on ... Read More:

Dummy

Search: Sour times
by: Portishead

Release Date February 09, 1995
I've heard this record for the first time today,(been on another planet!) and the first thing that struck me about it was how the vocal is so similar to my favourite female singer, the little known (in this country}, HEATHER NOVA. I'm not a fan of much electronic music, and I was particularly irritated by the 'vinyl scratching' that appears in several of the songs, however mainly because of the vocal and the songs that don't involve the scratch I know i'm going to really like this album. If you dont know HEATHER NOVA, do me (and yourself)a favour and go have a listen. If you love Beth Gibbons vocal with 'trip hop' music, you will be blown away by HEATHER NOVA with a live band. I suggest 'oyster' as the first album to try, or 'storm' if you prefer ... Read More:

Unraveled

Search: Sour times
by: Confessor

Release Date October 17, 2005
Confessor’s debut album ‘Condemned’ is now recognised as a brilliant album far ahead of its time, and a whopping 14 years later the band finally return with a follow-up record. The long gap between records does however mean that Confessor no longer sound quite as they once did, with Scott Jeffrey’s once uniquely high pitch vocals now dropped into a more standard singing voice. ‘Unraveled’(sic) is also a lot slower and more doomy album than ‘Condemned’ was, with perhaps the biggest disappointment being that the insane technical drumming of Steve Shelton on that record is not replicated here. This is still a good solid doom record, but sadly it seems the years have taken their toll on the band, and this really ... Read More:

Sour Times

Search: Sour times
by: Confessor

Release Date June 27, 2005
A legend in the extreme metal scene, after a solitary album way ahead of it’s time in 1992 this band dropped off the face of the Earth, and this is their first proper release for a whopping 13 full years. The two new cuts sound promising, in the more doomy vein of the slower material on Confessor’s debut album though, perhaps inevitably, they are blown away by the sheer brilliance of the complex drumming on Condemned, represented here by a demo from 1990 that still impresses. A promising release, but with both new tracks taken from the forthcoming Unravelled album, and the demo song very close to the version officially released on Condemned there isn’t much exclusive material here, though the inclusion of a live bootleg video performance is ...
