## Description

The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man," and the same approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album. "Sour Times" (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody loves me, it's true") and the more cryptic "Glory Box" are the linchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene that spawned Barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack. --Douglas Wolk 11-track version includes 'It's a Fire' not featured on the 10-track version. Universal. 1994.

Review: Excellent Album - Item is perfect as is described. Would order again.
Review: Great album from when music was good! - CD speaks for itself. Just a classic and if you know Portishead then this is a must own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ...Not like you do...
*by J***T on July 10, 2010*

Hopefully I'll never be so jaded that I won't be able to recognize a masterpiece. Even when it comes from a genre that I don't particularly care about. Even when it has so obviously been produced to "wow". Even when it has much more than a whiff about it of slickness and of product. But nobody could ever calculate all of the elements that come together to make this such an evocative and moving work. I am probably alone in having Numb as my favorite track. But the vividness of all of the sounds! I could eat them. That Hammond - that drum sound. It goes right into my belly and my heart. Beth Gibbons has something about her sound that reminds me of my beloved Alison Statton of Young Marble Giants. It's a strange comparison. Beth is obviously much more of a "singer" than Alison ever was. But maybe it has something to do with the way they both place themselves INSIDE the music rather than the usual singer thing of on top of it. Maybe there's a psychological similarity rather than a sonic one. When this CD came out, it was played in every hip café and restaurant. I tried to resist it - especially the hit, Sour Times. But it was impossible to resist. That plaintive cry "Nobody LOVES me!..." Such an ambiguous, poignant moment. And all those filmic downward bass lines and strings (especially on Glory Box) - delicious! 15 years on, it still sounds great. Is it too commercial, too slick? It is definitely both commercial and slick. But it is also musically brilliant, compelling and magical.
