		Portishead take their name from Geoff's hometown, a small seaside resort town in western England.
		Portishead's beach was more rock than sand, and during low tide, it was just muck.
		They named themselves Portishead after the muddy hometown, and slowly built tracks from samples and original music, handing them over to Beth to write her lyrics, as miserable as anything Morrissey ever sang--she liked to sit just around the corner, not talking to any of the musicians.

		The lesser-known third of Portishead's core of composers is guitarist, keyboardist, and coproducer Adrian Utley.

		I don't know much about Portishead but I fell in love with their style when I first head 'Glory Box' what must now be many years ago (gulp).

	Portishead: Roseland NYC Live ---Ink Blot Magazine
		While Portishead's studio recordings, Dummy and Portishead, are positively enthralling, their live performance makes their blend of jazz, hip hop, and elements that can only be called Porisheadian sound like breathtaking new material.
		And on "Mysterons," the uncontrolled orchestral climax is overwhelming.

		By the end of the decade, artists realized that CD and CD-R bootlegs of live performances were in high demand, which meant that they could profit by officially releasing certain "special" live performances.
		Portishead's one-night stand at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, released as PNYC, certainly qualifies as one of those "special" occasions.
		Portishead's album debut is a brilliant, surprisingly natural synthesis of claustrophobic spy soundtracks, dark breakbeats inspired by frontman Geoff Barrow's love of hip-hop, and a vocalist (Beth Gibbons) in the classic confessional singer/songwriter mold.

	TrouserPress.com :: Portishead
		This ambient-dance-cum-lounge-pop band stationed itself on the frontlines of the Bristol, England-generated trip-hop revolution, which could be considered the Newtonian equal-and-opposite-reaction to an increasingly strident, frenzied techno scene.
		Deploying an electro-torch sound that skirts genres as varied as spaghetti western film scores, '80s new wave and modern hip-hop, Portishead (the name comes from the blue-collar coastal town where producer/mixmaster Geoff Barrow spent his youth) is no less bleak than its more obstreperous peers; the group simply refines its anger into elegant resignation.
		It took Portishead three years — not to mention the brink of expectation-generated dissolution — to gestate and bear a sophomore effort, Portishead.
