The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer
Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short
film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man," and the same
approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly
melodramatic--permeates the album. "Sour Times" (the hit in
which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody loves me, it's
true") and the more cryptic "Glory Box" are the linchpins of
the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and
film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting
like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse
derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene
that spawned Barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack.
