Monday's Long Song

 


The release of Horace Andy's new album prompted me to listen to the music of Massive Attack again after a long time during the weekend. When people talk about one of their best albums they seldom name their second one Protection. For me it also a highlight of Massive Attack's output and not only they were lucky to replace Shara Nelson by Tracey Thorn. Protection had except the title track no song that reached high position in the charts but the whole album has a very special mood for relaxing. In 1996 they made together with Mad Professor a remix album on a dub floor. This version of the song is one of the highlights of this project.

Excellent post, Walter. To me, Mad Professor and Horace Andy are integral to Massive Attack's music and sound. Protection is a fantastic album and the dub companion No Protection is equally essential listening.
