Thoughts on Massive Attack Well this was brought on more by pressure from my friends and just a happy coincidence that Massive Attack happened to be on my list, but either way I don’t regret listening to this album. It’s completely beautiful in the most perfect ways. I was a little hesitant just having heard bits of songs off of it, but listening to the whole album made everything really fit. The combination of voices is one of my favourite parts of the sound and every track just sounds really sensual. I can see why so many people I know go crazy over this album and it’s definitely made me want to look into more of their discography. If every Massive Attack album is as good as this one, I definitely want to hear them. Favourite Track(s)-Risingson, Inertia Creeps, Mezzanine

19. Massive Attack-Mezzanine

Massive Attack is a collaborative music production duo from Bristol, UK. Working with co-producers, as well as various session musicians and guest vocalists, they make records and tour live. The duo are considered to be progenitors of the trip hop genre.

DJs Grantley “Grant” Evan Marshall (a.k.a. Daddy G or “G”), Andrew “Andy” Lee Isaac Vowles (a.k.a. Mushroom or “Mush”) and graffiti artist-turned-MC (later turned-singer) Robert Del Naja (a.k.a. 3D or “D”) met as members of DJ/MC partying collective, The Wild Bunch. One of the first homegrown soundsystems in the UK, The Wild Bunch became dominant on the Bristol club scene in the mid-1980s.

“Eddie and I concocted this ridiculous idea when we were wasted one night in Auckland last fortnight. We had gone to see where Crowded House had recorded their Together Alone and we thought it would be really cool to go somewhere like that with Massive Attack and spend a couple of weeks just cutting some stuff, that would be really good.”
