	Dummy (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dummy, released in 1994, was the debut album of the Bristol-based group Portishead.
		Building on the promise of their earlier EP, "Numb", it helped to cement the reputation of Bristol as the capital of "trip hop", a nascent genre which was then often referred to simply as "the Bristol sound".
		Now considered to be something of a classic, and regarded by many critics as one of the most influential albums of the 1990s, Dummy is arguably darker in tone than much of the music it later inspired.

		three years after their successful debut portishead comes back with an album that isn't groundbreaking in the trip-hop scene like dummy, however it's an important step for portishead.
		the second and probably best track of the album, "all mine," is a slow stomp punctuated by a horn section.
		an overall mood haunts the album and provides a flow between songs that was there on dummy.

	43. Portishead - Dummy
		Lead Singer Beth Gibbons croons with a voice both white and soulful, and along with the funky drums, album scratches and humming organs, she gives this score its seductive underbelly.
		I mean, Dummy has plenty of drama, but it's fairly short on action of the bang-bang sort.
		Dummy is a fresh, bizarre, experience, built only with simple beats and bass lines taken from songs you barely recognize.

	Dummy Music at Shop Ireland
		I already had the "Portishead" album, but I was intrigued to hear the "Dummy" album as it is considered to be the better of the two.
		When I listened to the "Dummy" album I was most pleasantly suprised, it has a slightly different style to the "Portishead" album, but it has that unique style, that portishead never fail to inject into their songs.
		I'v been a fan of portishead for years, and this album is fantastic, the perfect chill out music.

	Portishead : Dummy ---Ink Blot Magazine
		After receiving the prestigious Mercury Music Prize for Dummy, Portishead returned to the studio to record their second album, Portishead, which was released in 1997.
		With tight, fresh hip-hop beats and a subtle jazz flavor, most of Dummy is danceable, although the band do have a knack for creating an especially eerie mood with moaning organs and swelling strings.
		By all means, Dummy is an essential album for trip-hop fans and beginners.

	Portishead: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Before Portishead [+] released their debut album Dummy [+] in 1994, trip-hop's broad appeal wasn't apparent, but the record became an unexpected success in Britain, topping most year-end critics polls and earning the prestigious Mercury Music Prize; in America, it also became an underground hit, selling over 150,000 copies before the group toured the US.
		Following the success of Dummy [+], legions of imitators appeared over the next two years, but Portishead [+] remained quiet, as they worked on their second album.
		Dummy [+] was recorded with engineer Dave MacDonald, who played drums and drum machines, and guitarist Utley [+], who rounded out Portishead's lineup.

	Dummy - Health Care Products - HealthCareStuff.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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.
		Portishead's Dummy is so classic and so faithful to the trip hop genre that it has become the unofficial blueprint.
		This album, by far, is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard.

		Part of the hype on the new record is that the band created all their own samples, which may explain why at times it seems like a rock record with the beats just tacked on (there are even shrill electric guitars on "All Mine").
		I was listening to the album with a friend when he gasped, "This sounds like Grace Slick!" I hate to admit it, but he's right.
		Usually, a new album with three good songs would be thrilling, but coming from the band that put out "Dummy," it can't help but be a letdown.

	Pygmy Twylyte
		DUMMY UP- Premiered early in the tour, with a Frank guitar solo in its place prior to its arrival.
		While there is a fade-out on the Roxy album, in the actual live context, the band returns to "Pygmy Twylyte" once they have finished with their "Dummy Up" run-through.
		DUMMY UP- While this "song" appears as a separate track on the "Roxy and Elsewhere" album, it appears on this tour as the middle section of "Pygmy Twylyte" (Frank usually announced the setlists at each show, and always referred to "Pygmy Twylyte" but never mentioned "Dummy Up").

	Portishead does it again and again and... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Released in 1994, Dummy is the album that invented trip-hop as a mainstream style, and it was an album that left many shaken and haunted.
		The elements that hallowed Dummy are all in evidence here; the spooky samples, the versatile, emotive vocals of Beth Gibbons, the stark beauty of the compositions, the analog hum of the background, the ominousness of crackling horns and swelling strings.
		Like Dummy, this album works wonderfully as background music but is more than substantial enough to bear close scrutiny to song craft and production.

		Album loss seems to be associated with moving an album into a folder that contains other albums.
		Move the album into the dummy folder first, then move the album to the final folder you want it in.
		I upgraded my iPhotos 4 albums and then tried to drag everything into a folder and then noticed that some albums were missing even though it said I had 55 albums in the folder, only 20 or so showed up.

		I picked up Dummy a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed it, and also got Portishead, which is harder to get into but which I have also come to like.
		After all, Dummy is one of my top 10 favorite CDs of all time, and I had been listening to the first single from this new album ("All Mine") like mad for the previous three weeks.
		I don't think this album makes her particularly more strident, though I do agree the tunes are less insinuated into my head than the previous album--it's a slightly more difficult listen.

	Madonna Preaches to Music Pirates - Apr 17, 2003 - E! Online News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Madonna's technologically savvy response to prerelease piracy was developed in part due to the problems that plagued her last album, Music, when unfinished segments of the title track showed up on services like Napster before the album's official launch.
		The debate surrounding the digital bait-and-switch is just the latest controversy the ever-morphing mistress of reinvention has managed to create around her current album.
		With her album set to launch next week, Madonna's antiwar anthem had its North American debut on VH1 last night and has now gone into regular rotation on the music network.

		It is always astounding when an album shows so much originality and a distinct sound that somehow feels fresh a decade after being released.
		While most trip-hop strives to sound dark and downtempo, Dummy is the only trip-hop album that feels like it could be incorporated seamlessly into a '40s noir flick while sounding perfectly distinctive on its own.
		It is one of those albums that should not be sold.

		It's albums like this that people will be talking about in years to come.
		Beth Gibbons' icy vocals are excellent, keeping well with the tone of the album - it is truly a transcendencial gem deserving of greater attention.
		This album has got to be the best of the 90's (along with Nirvanas Nevermind).

		Beginning with the otherworldly theremin and martial beats of "Mysterons," Dummy [+] hits an early high with "Sour Times," a post-modern torch song driven by a Lalo Schifrin [+] sample.
		Better than any album before it, Dummy [+] merged the pinpoint-precise productions of the dance world with pop hallmarks like great songwriting and excellent vocal performances.

		While Piebald did not become the next big thing, they still felt pressure from the critics and the fans for their follow up album to be just as good, if not better than their last release.
		After a few listens, this album sounds as if it was recorded during the same session as the last album.
		Piebald do not take any risks with this album, they simply follow the pattern that was successful for them two years ago.

		Portishead are probally my fave 'band' ever...Beth is still with Portishead and has apparently already recorded her vocals for the new album, which as someone said is due for release early 2003.

	BBC - 6 Music - Most Overrated Album in the World
		The album is average at best and let's face it, its almost a greatest hits compilation thanks to the record company lifting every track off the album as singles which then had to be made into a multi-million dollar videos so MTV could boost sales by playing the bloody things.
		This album was MENT to be the must- have of the year.
		Bono stated that as soon as U2 albums were perceived to be crap (his words) by the general public then it would be time to retire.

	Dummy by Portishead CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		But if the beats on the band's debut album achieve a kind of trance-like static, the songs themselves reach for something more rousing.
		Then I looked for the album where the song came from and found "DUMMY" and I couldn't believe how many good songs were on here.
		This album is by far one of the greatest albums to land on this planet.

		Dark and moody, much of the album sounds like a memory...of a place you've been once, or a movie you saw, or music you heard as you drove by an open window or door late one night in the city.
		Sure there was a lot of quality albums there from groups like Massive Attack, Portishead, and the first Tricky album, but there was also a lot of [stuff] like the Sneaker Pimps and every other Tricky album.
		Theyre self titled album is great too, but i dont think that it or any other album in the genre could ever surpass Dummy.

	30 Seconds to Mars interview
		It almost sounds cliché but when you're listening to the album, there is so much imagery that you feel as if you are going on a journey.
		I don't think we consciously did it, I think it subconsciously came out that way since we were always into that type of thing.
		You know, like listening to conceptual albums, really ethereal stuff and using your imagination to go on like...a little journey, as you would say.

	Are Portishead the most beautiful band of all time?
		Dummy is a beautiful album, their second album is downright scary in places and beth sounds as if she may explode at times, still a good album though so check it out.
		I fell In love with the track Teardrop which is why I wanted the album and it has a fantastic review online and the shopkeeper of the CD shop I go to said that Mezzanine was a classic to so Yes.
		Dummy's gorgeous, but as previously mentioned, either Air or Massive Attack could equally claim the title of 'most beautiful band'.
