...smoldering, near-space-rock “Threads” lets the album fall away, packed with chunky percussion and rousing, indignant, Björk-like howls from Gibbons. She seems to reach out for any last shred of reality. What she gets is a minute-long, foghorn-like blare that all but pushes the listener off the edge with her.It has taken them a decade, but Portishead have reinvented themselves so successfully that they barely identify with their past. For diehards, the new maturity may result in something like empty nest syndrome. What Portishead is now interested...

Yet conditions in this and the six other main Maoist cantonments are squalid - food and potable water are always in short supply, and the camp doctors grumble about a lack of medicines from the interim government. Trenches once dug for protection from helicopter gunships now serve as makeshift dormitories for many fighters and their families...
