What you say No-one has reviewed Magic Doors by Portishead yet. Give us your opinion on Magic Doors by Portishead. What we say This record left our Brian feeling happy. 'Magic Doors' is another storming track from that utterly wonderful "new" Portishead LP. Another contrast, this is the one with the strange lolloping broken hip hop beat, a ponderous piano, the tragedy imbued wail of Beth Gibbons and some surreal psychedelic touches that just powder everything in a cerebral fog of wonder. It's another one sided etched 12" thing but this one ain't beautifully dystopian like 'The Rip'. It's basically a magnified segment of Roger Hargreaves' Mr Messy, A scrawl so delightfully rubbish that it's actually quite appealing (but still an awful waste of the earth's resources - EcoBrian) What the label says: Magic Doors is the final single to be released from critically acclaimed Gold album ‘Third’. Certainly one of the albums of the year, ‘Third’ has put Portishead back on the map again and this final offering from the record will compliment the precious singles from this campaign. The 12” format will once again be a one sided etched piece of product, which have proven so popular with the fanbase.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
