A Conversation for Portishead - the Band
Glory Box
? Started conversation Jan 9, 2001
People might be interested to know that Portishead sampled "Ike's Rap" by Isaac Hayes for "Glory Box". (Tricky used the same sample for "Hell Is Round The Corner".) 
Other strange fact: Hooverphonic (formerly Hoover), a Belgian Portishead-clone that has found its own path in the meantime also sampled an Isaac Hayes song ("Walk On By"), and so did Massive Attack on "Blue Lines": they sampled "Ike's Theme".
