I apologize if my MOGging has been a bit haphazard this week, but things have conspired to drive me away. First, my trusty laptop's screen has gone on the fritz, so my only recourse is to shut off my PC where I do most of my MOGging, so I can use its monitor on the laptop. Second, I'm on-call at work, which is usually no big deal, except this week has featured me banging my head on the same web...

A clarion call for the trip hop movement, the 1994 release of Portishead's Dummy put Bristol, England on the musical map. Sinister, moody soundscapes like "Glory Box" were tailor-made for spy movies, but too good to be Bond themes.The tune cops the descending bassline and weepy strings from Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Rap II", and adds an insistent snare and vinyl scratches, striking a phenomenal, atmo...

This track eerily captures the simultaneous attraction and repulsion the female singer feels about the object of her desire. The usual sublime choice of sampled beat and bassline by the Sheffield lads. This track was used in the movie "Lord of War" in the scene where Nicholas Cage is given a GIFT by the Sierra Leone warlord whom he is arming to the hilt. A Naomi and Tyra look alike clad in noth...

I've been recommended Portishead a lot lately, so I decided to give them a listen.Portishead struck me at first listen as very similar to Massive Attack's Mezzanine. Except that Dummy was released in 1994, four years before Mezzanine. Now Mezzanine has a nice feel to it, smooth and relaxed. Dummy seemed to be the original Mezzanine with on exception, Beth Gibbons' voice takes the music to a who...
