The group that sings "You're Not Alone"? Thats who this is?=20
Portishead? How is this like Portishead? That song is SuperPop=99,
strictly for the department store youth department type of song. I
haven't heard the rest of it though, but if its similar to that song,
I'd have to agree with you in the fact that its a huge stretch to call
that trip hop.
