Portishead formed in Bristol, England in 1991 and is
credited with being one of the first bands to popularize
the trip-hop genre. Their seminal 1994 album, Dummy,
brought trip-hop to the British mainstream and introduced
the music to the American "alternative" scene.
The band is named after the town where founder Geoff Barrow
grew up. At the dawn of the '90s, Barrow was making a name
for himself as a remixer, working with such artists as
Primal Scream, Paul Weller and Depeche Mode. In addition,
Barrow had produced a track for Tricky and written songs
for Neneh Cherry.
Aided by a financial grant, Barrow formed Portishead with
vocalist Beth
Gibbons, guitarist Adrian Utley and drummer Dave MacDonald.
The band's first project was not an album but the short
film T More...
Review about Portishead One of my favorite songs | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song It's a fire performed by Portishead
This is such a good song. So comforting, and so beautiful. The music, in this rare case, really expresses the emotions and sad frustrations in the words she sings. There's got to be more meaning to this life when you realize how absurd it can get.

------ About the song Pearl performed by Portishead
im really confused about this mistakes. I have the album Pearl from Portishead, but I have found out that it is the same album like Empathy from Mandalay. I dont remember where i got it, but i dont know why it can be possible that same songs (for example insensible, beautifull, another day, and so on) have two artists. I am sure that initial artist is mandalay, but why can I so often face to information where songs from Empathy are joined with Portishead.
When would someone be really bored and know answer on this problem, lay down a few minute and write the solving, thx

------ About the song Pearl performed by Portishead
just like the song "Beautiful", this one song is actually by Mandalay.
sometimes it's attributed by mistake to Portishead (same thing for "Insensible")
