Ok, so I know there are quite a few people that like Portishead. And I know there are quite a few people that REALLY enjoyed the BBC documentary on the birth of 80s electronic music. And I know that there are quite a few people that get excited by the phrase "krautrock groove". And I know that there are quite a few people who support the work of Amnesty International.

Why not combine the lot?

Bleak sonic creationists Portishead have just released a new track as a one off download through 7digital that has them ditching the scary new direction for an even more scary one. 80s synth electro. But we're talking more OMD / Human League than any of the poppier moments of the decade. Thankfully. Basically its vintage synths aplenty.
