Dummy, the debut album by Bristol electronic band Portishead released in August 1994 is celebrating its 25th anniversary and remains one of the jewels in BMG’s UK catalogue.

Emerging in the middle of Britpop, though sounding nothing like it, Dummy won the 1995 Mercury Music Prize and brought the triphop genre into the mainstream, the two singles ‘Glory Box’ and ‘Sour Times’ both reaching number 13 in the Official UK Singles Chart. The album itself has sold over four million copies.

Among the media tributes to the album to celebrate the anniversary have been pieces in the The Guardian, New York Times and The Independent.

BMG UK SVP Publishing A&R Hugo Turquet says, “It’s no exaggeration to say Portishead changed music. Theirs is a unique sound and a perennial synch favourite.”
