Album Notes
Although long since graduated to the status of full-blown pop stars (and ones known for constructing album-length works of sound art, with all of that format's accompanying tendency towards self-indulgence), Massive Attack have not forgotten their humble origins as a DJ collective. Accordingly, they retain a DJ's fondness for the 12" single, and over the course of their career have released enough material on vinyl to constitute a second body of work, unknown to many of their fans. This singles collection bridges the gap between that sub-culture and the group's larger audience.
In doing so, it gives a better idea of the group's range than any other album. Not only does it contain tracks from all three Massive Attack albums plus several dub versions from the NO PROTECTION project, but, celebrating the alternate universes opened up through remixing, reveals previously unexplored avenues of the Massive Attack sound. The forward-moving bassline on the Underdog remix of "Protection," for instance, somehow highlights the melancholy of the vocal even more than the slower-paced album version, while the State Of Bengal remix of "Inertia Creeps" combats inertia with excursions into drum-and-bass.
Editorial Reviews
5 stars (out of 5) - ...reckoned to be the most important band of the Nineties....Something this 11 CD box set...proves beyond all doubt...
Muzik (02/01/1999)
...the off-kilter approach to pop, the dance music you can't dance to, the rock music with the mordant undertow....Across the albums, the variety makes sense, each style shoring up its neighbour...
Mojo (01/01/1999)
4 out of 5 - ...the most groundbreaking dance act of the decade....Brilliant, influential, occasionally infuriating...
