Classic Album Sundays: A Communal Audiophile & Listening Experience

CAS will present Portishead’s debut album “Dummy”.

Immerse yourself in an album that didn’t sound like anything else at the time when it was released in 1994. Drawing upon the “Bristol Sound” ignited by the Wild Bunch and immortalised on vinyl on Massive Attack’s “Blue Lines”.

They further pushed the sound by incorporating the soulful folky vocals of Beth Gibbons. Breakologist Geoff Barrow also looked further afield for his samples which were drawn from soundtracks, jazz and anything else that struck his fancy.

Also listen to music that either inspired or was contemporary to this landmark LP. You can order pizzas made in the Hanbury Arms brick oven in which they are kindly offering two-for-one pizzas to CAS attendees.
