 Good but odd choices... March 2, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This compiles slightly altered versions of the SOUR TIMES and GLORY BOX singles. All in all, it's a good deal-- some funky, scratchy Sour Times remixes from the first disc, and on the second an AMAZING, evil and chilling remix of Glory Box ("Scorn") that manages to completely transform the lyrics and emphasize the dark undercurrents of the original song.My only complaint is that the theme from "To Kill a Dead Man" is included, a great atmospheric film-noir piece, yet for some reason "A Tribute to Monk and Canatella" is not, which is from the same Sour Times/Numb mini-EP. I'd just buy that, and the Glory Box single.

I just got this CD because I LOVE Portishead, and I had to have it! And so do you if you're a P-head fan. All the remixes are great! My favorites are Airbus Reconstruction, the Theme from To Kill a Dead Man, and Toy Box. Especially TKADM. Oh my God, the first time I heard that song, chills crept up my spine. It's so eerie and beautiful, it just captivates you. I recomend listening to it at night before you go to sleep. And see the short film if you can.

I really liked this CD and if you are a hardcore Portishead fan than you need these 2 CD's. BETH GIBBONS ROCKS!
