For the next three posts I'm going to be featuring artists that I have touched on before, Massive Attack, Azam Ali, & Morcheeba. I've followed all three throughout their careers & listen to them regularly. The selections I decided on have been always on my mind but never posted here.
I'll start with Massive Attack. I remember when Blue Lines came out. I ate it up. It was the best.
Then I heard Protection / No Protection & I was over the moon. This was the best.
Then Mezzanine showed its insectoid face. It was an out of body experience. It was the best. & so it went with Massive Attack...every release the perfect vehicle of its time.
100th Window. Sublime.
The last real Massive Attack release was 2010s Heligoland. Any time I hear "Pray for Rain" with vocals by Tunde Adebimpe I shudder.
Many of the usual guest vocalists are assembled: Horace Andy; Martina Topley-Bird; Hope Sandoval; Damon Albarn. This is the best.
Pray for Rain
Babel
Splitting the Atom
Girl I Love You
Psyche
Flat of the Blade
Paradise Circus
Rush Minute
Saturday Come Slow
Atlas Air
Enjoy,
NØ

ReplyDeleteExactly as you said NØ. Back in the days "blue lines" "protection" and "mezzanine" were the best. I can remember the feeling of greatfulness listening these 3 for months and years...Also "No protection" was a mystic journey!!Thanks for "Heligoland".
