A very good entry in the 33-1/3 seriesBy too_old_to_be_so_indieIve read quite a few of the 33-1/3 series; and I think this is one of the best entries. It gives a great insight into the making of the album and also positions its creation within the greater musical trends of the time. My one disappointment is that the book presupposes the instance of a single "Bristol Scene" that existed around the time of this album; but the city is also important as home of two other scenes -- that of iconic indie label Sarah Records; and the more experimental sounds of the loose collective of musicians that included Flying Saucer Attack; The Third Eye Foundation; Crescent; Amp; Movietone; and others.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Probably the best 33 1/3 so far...By ShoopNot only that; but twice as long as some! It can be a bit starry-eyed and ponderous from time to time; but the greatest praise I can give it is this: I found Dummy to be my least-favourite Portishead record (so sue me; I just love the other two more). This made me reconsider and see Dummy with new eyes. Id recommend it if its your first entry in the series; but it may also set the bar too high - especially when crap like the Fear of Music book found their way into the series.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A deeply thought through; modern yet classical critique and explorationBy Paul MullerWheaton dissects the work of Portishead with the critical eye of eye of a micro-surgeon. No detail; musical nuance is missed and it makes going back to the music so much more enjoyable.Be prepared to have a tablet or laptop handy to follow the many musical references he mentions along the way (it would be great if this were easier from within the Kindle version itself).
