Portishead:
This band, WOW! I describe it as beeing the ideal music for a love making setting, even as to the slightly kinky and bondage-wise scenario. This band consists of Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Dave McDonald. They have been labelled as the pioneers of a music genre called "trip hop" getting its name from the music sounding like you are high on a drug and effectivly "tripping". I must say I feel nothing short of high when those sweet tones hit my ears and her supernatural voice lulls my brain.

Marylin Manson:
This guy is known as Marylin Manson... like the band itself, he is the singer, he is the band he is everything of it, of course there are more people in the band but who cares? nobody, he is the face, the front, the brains and the focuspoint of the spotlight.
Shockrock, I dont know if thats the technical term but this is what I call it, intense, agressive, grotesque and on some level pretty darn beautiful. Its primal allthough bottled up with the modern filth, he/they/whatever seem to be stirring the people smearing theyr eyes and ears ith theyr own shit and making them love it.
