The blueprint for two decades of late-night sadness: Dummy slowed hip-hop breaks to a crawl, draped them in spy-film strings, and let Beth Gibbons sing like a torch singer trapped in vinyl crackle. "Glory Box" and "Sour Times" defined trip-hop, then transcended the term. Few debuts have invented an atmosphere this completely.
