I once heard Portishead described as a love triange between a girl, a guy, and a digital mixer.  That sounds pretty accurate.  The singer is a beautiful, sultry singer whose jazzed-up personal touches translate into perfect harmonies.  It's that voice that keeps these demanding beats from becoming just another impersonal art-house attempt.  Portishead music is like walking head-first into an ultra cool spy flick, just when you thought you were walking through the door of a discoteque.  Besides all of that, this is some of the most soothing music around.
