Änglagård - Epilog vs Portishead - Dummy

I might do this as a series (Prog vs. non Prog or non PA albums as Prog definitions and notions of acceptibility can vary).

I decided to pit a favourite album from a band not included in PA against a band included in a Prog category at PA from the same year (1994). Since the non-PA album is ranked at number 2 for the year at rateyourmusic, I opted to put it against the second highest rated album in PA's too Prog album charts from the same year. That turned out to be an album I have in my collection as well.

So how will Portishead's Dummy fare against the much acclaimed Änglagård? I like E pilog, but, and call me a dummy if you like, Dummy means much more to me.

Here is the opening from each album:





I'll be interested to hear back from people, especially those who know both.

I don't own any Portishead albums but from what I've heard they are very cool and gave the Bristol music scene a boost along with Massive Attack and others.

Portishead. All their albums are fantastic. I'm quite indifferent to Anglaård really. Haven't heard Viljans Öga though. Perhaps I should give them a last chance?

Anglagard easy

LOVE both but Epilog is my favorite Änglagård album.

^ BTW, my favourite track from Viljans Öga, and indeed my favourite Änglagård track, is the second track, "Sorgmantel".
