Somewhere in the universe, a sci-fi big band orbit a dying star in a chrome cadillac speeding through the ether. Portishead, whilst not being that band, are the closest thing we've got. Beth's voice in "All Mine" is astounding: play this one loud and I'm convinced your crytsal will break. And the song is so damn fine that you simply have no choice other than to play it at full volume. A slo-paced lazy cabaret song with barbs, the single is an immense and unsettling piece of precious metal. Astounding.
The b-sides to this are the two versions of "Cowboys" that made up the band's previous limited edition single (previously reviewed), so if you missed that, grab this and bow down.
Rating: 9/10
