Portishead, “Dummy,” Go Discs/London (***1/2 ). This duo arrives as one of England’s most innovative bands. Blending the sci-fi chill of electronic ambient music with Eastern European melody and Beth Gibbon’s poignant vocals, Portishead invites you into a new world of sonic esoterica. “Dummy” is lush and rich, yet delicate and haunting.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
