Beat Box Greatness!



I heard this song the other day at a coffee shop in SE. It first pricked my ears up cuz it is a Portishead song, and I really like Portishead. I asked the incredibly twee hipster behind the counter who it was and he told me then he pointed out that all of the sounds were created with a microphone, some lungs, a lot of air, and one intrigingly dexterious tongue.
I picked up the CD that afternoon and the other songs were throw away crisco tracks, only worth listening to for the fact that the man has taken beatboxing to a new level.
Ever since I first heard 'The Show' by Doug E. Fresh back in '85 or 86' I have been in awe of the art.
Hope you dig it.
