March 20, 200817 yr the rumours were spot-on - 'Third' truly is the album of Portishead's career - and Machine Gun, whilst an odd choice for first single, is a cracker. Naff video, though... especially from the band that gave us one of the finest ever videos - Chris Cunningham's stunning 'Only You'. Edited March 22, 200817 yr by Mark.
March 20, 200817 yr Author Not too fussed on the video for this track, but the song is MINDBLOWING. I can't get enough of it right now. I will be buying the album immediately upon release.
March 21, 200817 yr Has anyone here got the Beth Gibbons/Rustin Man album 'Out of Season'? It's so worth getting if you love Portishead...
March 21, 200817 yr Has anyone here got the Beth Gibbons/Rustin Man album 'Out of Season'? It's so worth getting if you love Portishead... as i v said in the album thread (i think) before , 'Out of Season' is quite a masterpiece.definitely a lost classic n its up to every portishead release.essential. ......................................................................................................................................................................... "Machine Gun" sound to me like a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) experience...(i had one the previous week)
March 26, 200817 yr Love 'Machine Gun' as I do - the question needs to be asked - which radio station will ever play it? It's way too classy for Radio One...and way too bass-y and leftfield for Radio Two :huh:

March 27, 200817 yr Author Yep, 'Machine Gun' is doing spectacularly on iTunes. It's now at a new high of #24. :D
April 21, 200817 yr Author Just a week to go until this album is released, I seriously can't wait to buy it! :D
April 26, 200817 yr Did anyone catch the 'Portishead in Portishead' show on ITV in the early hours this week? It was nothing short of incredible..... the band perfoemed several tracks from Third - and they sound even better live.
April 26, 200817 yr Did anyone catch the 'Portishead in Portishead' show on ITV in the early hours this week? it was on channel 4 so it might turn up on the hits if they do a 4music best trip hop evening. i didnt watch it as i was watching a film on itv2 - tho saw it earlier on the osd - was on with Gogol Bordello feature before wasnt it - forgot all about it by that time but managed to get the kissaway trail recorded last night

April 26, 200817 yr I'm looking online to see if it's available to download somewhere - if it is, I'll copy one off for you - it was one of the best live things I've ever seen on TV - stunning.
