did I miss something here? there seems to be a new portishead album confirmed for 24th/25th March release. I thought after postponing for so long that the group couldn't get it together and had given up.
oh well, here's a tracklisting:
1 Open Box 2 Love of Life 3 Broquette 4 Broken Wall 5 Beatless Day 6 Of Liberty for All and None 7 Alien 8 Signature 9 Minor Pain 10 Traveling Fast to There 11 Tomorrow's Death 12 Broquette (Multi Mix in F#- Slowdown)
to be honest though, I'm not sure I care anymore. it won't be high on my list of purchases unless it is a revolution in sound.

I would have thought it was fiction too, but the rumour is quite widespread. I mean, there's even a tracklisting.
cheffe: 9 years! their eponymous album was released in 1997. or is this a funny joke? ha ha ho ho.

I've been searching for it but not found any information on a hoax.. just lots of "forthcoming releases" lists showing it as a march or april release.
I must admit the information sounds dodgy, as it comes from some guy called David McLeaf who claims to work for Go!Beat.

unless of course you are thinking of "Portishead - Pearl", which is definitely a hoax. that was some dodgy album out of Russia.

I was VERY excited when I read about this " fictional album " awhile back...Only to be told by most everyone out here it IS INDEED fake.

well i just noticed this portishead album called alien on soulseek (yes it was actually working !!!)...
'what the fuck?' i thought, ' i never heard about this'... so i downloaded it... did a search on a cddb to find the tracklisting and it didnt come up, so next i searched google and went to the portishead website : http://www.portishead.co.uk/breaking/
i was listening to it at the time and thinking well it sounds like beth gibbons voice... so my next port of call was here.
quick search and here we are, a topic saying alien is a myth...
well ok, maybe its not an official release, maybe its not got anything to do with portishead at all, maybe its just somebody who sounds very much like beth gibbons, but its welll worth the download (in my opinion of course). Theres some good tracks on there, i wouldnt say they were all great but many of them are lush, and the beauty of it is, i dont feel like im ripping them off, maybe im ripping off the person who initially tried to rip them off but... ahh sod it im babbling now... the point of this is.... if ur a portishead fan u should check it out, u never know u mite just like it, official or not
