Portishead. Out of Bristol, England. Geoff Barrow was working at Coach House studios when Massive Attack made Blue Lines there, and they let him use the spare studio time. He and Ben Salisbury went on to score Alex Garland’s films, Ex Machina, Annihilation and Civil War among others. And get this: ‘Strangers’ turned up in Nadja, a 1994 vampire film set in New York.
