About This Sample
Portishead's menacing industrial-tinged track from their long-awaited comeback album featured a relentless, mechanized beat and Beth Gibbons' spectral vocals. Its sampling in the Vultures 2 sessions brought trip-hop's dark, cinematic atmosphere into Kanye's production palette, adding a layer of European art-rock sophistication.
