Portishead's Mercury Prize winning debut album 'Dummy', often credited with popularizing the trip hop genre, the 1994 record features the singles "Sour Times" and "Glory Box". Dummy is a masterwork of downbeat and desperation. They invented their own kind of virtuosity, one that encompassed musicianship, technology, and aura.
The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man", and the same approach: gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album.
