Bill George - Drums Discography A Taste Of Things To Come 2001 The Vast Expanse Diminishing 2003 Element 2005 Blood Red Tape 2008 "Portal Is A Propulsive Amalgam Of Powerfully Packaged Grooves Insightful Lyrics And Moralistic Ideals. Intelligent By Design And Intellectual By Nature. The Band Actively Challenges Listeners And Members Alike To Demand More From Music More From Society And More From Life Itself. Portal Deftly Combines The Progressive Rhythmic Complexity Of Tool Or Porcupine Tree The Richly Textured Orchestration Of VAST The Intricate Production Of Filter And The Raw Emotive Pull Of Nine Inch Nails Into A Brilliant Array Of Insightfully Stimulating Music Incorporating A Rich Tapestry Of Global Instrumentation And A Socially Conscious Lyrical Motivation Into A Truly Unique Sonic And Psychosomatic Experience." Edmonton’s Portal Take A Different Tack In Making Music. Their Studio Is As Likely To Be Dominated By Computer Towers And Monitors As It Is By Amplifier Stacks. Rosco Brooks Kevin Hoskin Kenton Thomas And Bill George Strive For The Art Of Creation Above All Other Virtues On Blood Red Tape Which Manages To Make One Of The Finer Melds Of Organic And Electronic Music We’ve Heard This Year. Portal Brings Techno Rock Into The Light Of Day With The Exciting And Musically Challenging Blood Red Tape. The Disc Is Highly Commercial In Sound And Broad Enough In Scope To Appeal To Fans From Outside The Commercial Marketing Cone. Northern Canada Continues To Be A Consistent Breeding Ground For Original And Distinctly Alternative Takes On Popular Music. Blood Red Tape Is A Must-Hear. 5 Portal Is A Dream Pop / Electronic / Ambient Band Based In Staffordshire UK. Http //www.Myspace.Com/scottportal
