Portishead
British European portishead was at the vanguard of the '90s triphop onslaught and after a threeyear respite they returned with a selftitled second album to reclaim the triphop crown beth gibbons is on her way to becoming the billie holiday of electronica retaining a stoic laconic tone while recounting tales of despair and emotional upheaval the lazy spacious beats that are the band's trademark provide just the right combination of urgency and tranquility to underscore the emotional contradictions at the core of portishead's music adrian utley's delightfully creepy guitar and keyboard work adorns the proceedings tastefully and effectively on tunes like cowboys and all mine portishead makes it plain that when it comes to arresting unsettling electronic dancepop nobody does it better
