About this album
Dummy is the 1994 debut album of the Bristol-based group Portishead. It reached #2 on the UK Album Chart and #79 on the Billboard 200 chart, going gold in 1997.
Building on the promise of their earlier EP—”Numb”—it helped to cement the reputation of Bristol as the capital of Trip hop, a nascent genre which was then often referred to simply as “the Bristol sound”.The cover is a still of Gibbons from the short film that the band created—To Kill a Dead Man—which originally got them signed due to their self composed soundtrack.
In addition to the already released “Numb”, the album spawned two further singles: the UK #13 hit (on re-release) “Glory Box” and “Sour Times”, which reached the same position, also on re-release.
On 3 December 2008, Universal Music Japan released Dummy and Portishead as limited SHM-CD versions.

The 4 first songs are a bit tiring but the rest of the album is great! as for the comments below ("one of the few albums that you could simply sit and listen to without wanting to do something else. simply stunning") i would say that to third, but you can also do that with (the last 7 songs of) this album.
