Portishead - Dummy

Again this is a band that you should own all their records, which will not set you back too much as they only have three. Speaking of three, Third is the name of their first record in over 10 years and it is an instant classic. But back to the recommendation at hand. If you only have one Portishead record in your collection, it should be Dummy. Beth Gibbons has an amazing voice which is layered over dark, mysterious melodies like an instrument. She sounds like she is in real pain, some kind of futuristic soul singer for the rave generation.
