Today I went back in time and listened to an old favourite music group – Massive Attack. One of my long term besties is the CD, Protection – The Remixes, released in 1994.

What would ToTarTu rate this release? 5 Star thank you very much ☺

Massive Attack worked with Hooper and Trick, and brought vocalist Nicolette, as well as Everything but the Girl’s Tracey Thorn, into the fold. Three singles — “Karmacoma,” “Sly,” and the title track — were released from the LP, which was also remixed in its entirety by Mad Professor and issued as No Protection. A lengthy tour followed, and over the next several years, Massive Attack’s solo work was primarily confined to remixes for artists including Garbage; they also worked with Madonna on a track for a Marvin Gaye tribute album.

Bit of background on Massive Attack though (thank you Wikapedia) –
Massive Attack is an English musical group from Bristol consisting of Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall. Working with co-producers, as well as various musicians and guest vocalists, they make records and tour live. The duo are considered to be progenitors of the trip hop genre. Their début album Blue Lines was released in 1991, with the single “Unfinished Sympathy” reaching the charts and later being voted the 10th greatest song of all time in a poll by The Guardian. 1998’s Mezzanine, containing “Teardrop”, and 2003’s 100th Window charted in the UK at number 1. Both Blue Lines and Mezzanine feature in Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

The group has won numerous music awards throughout their career, including a Brit Award—winning Best British Dance Act, two MTV Europe Music Awards, and two Q Awards. They have released 5 studio albums that have sold over 11 million copies worldwide.

Thank you Massive Attack!!
