It’s one of the songs off the Dummy album by Portishead I think.

Definitely Portishead though.

In the spirit of it’s the thought that counts, I had a listen Sid. It sounds familiar but I don’t know what it is. I’m sure I’ve heard it before or else it just sounds like that female vocal/trip hop beat kinda stuff that does be around the place ever since Massive Attack. Sounds good anyway, post up what it is if you can find out.

Haven’t found it yet, but I don’t think it’s Portishead, went through every song from their three albums but none match unfortunately.
