Following on from my thread about Faithless I'm pimping the new MA album after picking up the Special Edition with the DVDs today.

This will well worth picking up if you are a fan or you want to dip into the MA back catalouge; not only a good selection of tunes but all the videos too, which include Michel Gondrys seminal work Protection and the haunting Teardrop which once seen is never forgotten.

I do love this band, my wife walked down the aisle to Teardrop so they hold a place in my heart, if you haven't tried them but like artists like Faithless and Leftfield I think you'll like them (but lets face it you should know them anyway) :)

Great music to chillout to and if you EVER get a chance to see them live then jump at it, epecially at a medium size venue like Brixton, although the Queens square gig in Bristol rocked too :D

The SE is well worth the investment for the DVD let alone the extra tracks ;)

I saw this advertised everywhere along the train lines last week.
Quite tempted by it come payday. :)
 
Hmmm, Massive attack........

Never could get my head round em. Tunes like Protection, Unfinished Sympathy, some of the greatest tunes of all time, problem is, on any of their album's there'll be one or two fantastic tunes and the rest is plain weird or just not very good!
 
my dad was cranking this the other day. it sounded pretty good. i dont like a lot of massive attack but there's some real corkers on there :)
 
I think teardrop is the stand out track for me. It's just a lovely piece of music. What film plays it in its credits because I can't remember and it's doing my head in :p

They are philantropists. Mezzanine is a fantastic album, very, very dark.

I hadn't really heard much of there stuff till today when I bought this album... The reason I bought it was because my mate wants me to come with him to see them live at Westonbirt Arboretum, and I thought I better listen to some of their stuff.

cheers for the heads up

going to pick this up on monday along with the daft punk greatest hits

definetly worth buying the SE versions of them both purely for the michael gondry vids :)
 
pah i'm a boring old git. protection is one of my all time favourite albums but i can't say i really like their newer stuff. 100th window is ok but i think mezzanine is pants.... :eek:
