Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

They play their first gig in 10 years in England in December, their third album is on the way. The world is a slightly better place now.

Let's hope they still have it as Beth Gibbon's solo stuff doesn't quite do it for me.

I just feel they are not some monolithic rock monster getting baqck to work to put a few extra million in the bank. I genuinely believe that they would not be getting back together if they didn't have something to say.

I'll agree with you on that one. I really am rooting for Portishead on this one -- I still hope they have what it takes to be relevant. Trip-hop is in it's autumn years. . .

sloppy label thrown @ people such as Tricky, Portishead, Massive Attack etc... hip-hop flavoured music from the [brixton?] area i believe.

It is Bristol, rather than Brixton, I think. (Tricky is from Bristol, and Portishead is a town nearby Bristol on the South West coast of England!) As someone who was kinda on the edge of some of that music in the late 90s, I understood the (somewhat silly) term to mean music with an upfront hip-hop beat (often played on a kit, rather than a machine) but with "trippy" music over it. Some of what Bjork did was described in that way, as was the work of one of my obsessions, John Martyn. Check out his cover of "Glory Box" on the "Church With One Bell" album. There is also a nice live mp3 out there somewhere of him and Beth Gibbons performing it together. Martyn was an influence on her and Portishead. We Brits always liked labels!

Brixton,. an area of South London, is a musical area. A lot of British Reggae came out of that area, notably Aswad.
