Portal is the musical alter-ego of Scott Sinfield, a project that has crafted a distinctly unique sonic vocabulary ranging from distorted ambient lullabies to trippy rhythmic electronics. "Gone But Not Forgiven" is a collection of rare and alternative versions. "July" (originally released as a double A-sided 7" in 1999) has a hypnotic guitar work over inspired distortions that will leave all the Flying Saucer Attack fanatics drooling with their eyes rolled back. The alternative version of "Sometimes I'm lost" is the typical Portal track with lush electronic tapestries and the contribution of Rachel Huges' mesmerizing vocals. The highlight here is a version of "Bloodline" recorded in 2005 for a Dutch internet radio show called Senzor - there are raw distortions but perfectly arranged structures and it sounds even more touching than the album version (on "Waves & Echoes" - 2005). As you can guess by the album title, this project sadly is no longer active and Scott is now focused working for the superb Make Mine Music label.
