    Faith No More, The Real Thing. Their first album with Mike Patton doing the vocals.



    Saw these at Glasgow Barrowlands in 1992, and they were just brilliant. Supported by those shrinking violets L7. The lead singer kept her lady garden tucked away this time, unlike their performance on "The Word"

    The rum tinkers

    Think I have a copy of that. If I do, it would only have had one play, because it is, as you say, so damned miserable.

    Maybe I should dig it out and give it another go; perhaps it has some redeeming aspects which passed me by.

    I think I'll leave mine on the shelf, but I could try their follow-up album (I bought them together at a boot sale, so please don't judge me ) and see if that has something for me. Just as soon as my CD player has finished with this:

    I have never listened to Portishead before, it is a recommended play of the month on TAS which I partake and contribute to as sadly the album(s) of the month died on AoS. I rather like Portishead, I think it appeals due to my recent listening to more electronic music from the likes of FSOL, Younger Brother, Fluke, Shpongle, OTT & a few others.

    The other album recommended is the new solo release from Beth Gibbons - 'Lives Outgrown', which I am listening to know. It is rather beautiful thus far, even if the lyrics are a bit dark, dealing with mid-life change, loss and humanity.

    Portishead Portishead, so good they named it twice



    This is their eponymous follow up to their debut "Dummy", it seems to be more of the same... sorry, this is making my ears bleed If anyone out there would like these two CDs foc, send me a pm. I'll even pay the postage I need to make space on my shelves. I know this band has a huge following, they're just not for me.
