I like them too. A friend of mine always in late autumn listens to DUMMY and then gets into a sea, even in global-warming-times nasty cold then

. But he says he HAS TO after listening to this great music. So maybe I'll join him this october

. Heard some Beth Gibbons-concert on the radio too (forgot the name of the other musician, "rusty man" or so??). Critics said "too melancholic" but I don't agree, it sounded great...

Only sentence I do not like this much is to hear the 932.time "ooh this new band is something between Bjork and Portishead". Most common in some german radio. Sounds like " this soap is something between milk and a door-nail". Not much saying this way, is it?
Don't wanna talk rubbish here, but from what I know from your music, (think of the not so experimental song over at the Café) Andrew, I would have thought you'd like them since ages. But see, I was wrong. Music isn't predictable.

Portishead is nice, but Laika is a much better triphop act.

You're right, I too think Laika and Portishead are very different. I like them both very much, don't know which one to prefer...

Beth Gibbons partner on her solo album was "Rustin Man" Paul Webb, he played bass in one of my favourite 80's bands: TALK TALK!

And the guy besides Margaret Fiedler in Moonshake was Callahan, former member of the indie band THE WOLFHOUNDS.

yes, but he was rather involved in the production and the songwriting than in the actual performance (i.e. the man in the back). Very much involved in both performance and production on the other hand was Adrian Utley.

And Geoff Barrow. He did a DJ set (and I mean Barrow, not Andy Smith) when I saw them live - very very cool

I thought barrow did the beats, pressed them onto acetate and them sampled them? I know that Andy Smith was the scratching guy, but Barrow was definately the beats man, as he was the one that asked Beth Gibbons to join him in making music. They then recruited Adrian Utley to help produce and play guitar and Andy Smith joined in somewhere

Damnnnn!! Portishead are fuckin ace!
