its a portishead song, but a completely different recording...
everytime i see the commercial i wonder if portishead didn't want them to use their song, so victoria's secret had someone rerecord it the exact same way to avoid any copyright infringement.
it definitely itsn't the real version from the portishead album, but its the same exact song!! right down to the exaggerated reverb on the snare and the horns....
if victoria's secret tried to pull a fast one i hope portishead sues the living hell out of them...
the commercial is defintely a different version than the album, but its so close that portishead MUST have ok'd it. i dont think victoria's secret would have the balls to copy it that close....but nowadays who the hell knows...
here's a link to the real song to hear for yourself.
