The pioneering force behind the rise of trip-hop, Massive Attack were among the most innovative and influential groups of their generation; their hypnotic sound — a darkly sensual and cinematic fusion of hip-hop rhythms, soulful melodies, dub grooves, and choice samples — set the pace for much of the dance music to emerge throughout the 1990s, paving the way for such acclaimed artists as Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Beth Orton, and Tricky, himself a Massive Attack alumnus. Their history dates back to 1983 and the formation of the Wild Bunch, one of the earliest and most successful sound-system/DJ collectives to arrive on the U.K. music scene; renowned for their seamless integration of a wide range of musical styles, from punk to reggae to R&B, the group's parties quickly became can't-miss events for the Bristol club crowd, and at the peak of their popularity they drew crowds so enormous that the local live music scene essentially ground to a halt. When the Wild Bunch folded during the mid-'80s, two of its members — Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles and Grant "Daddy G" Marshall — teamed with local graffiti artist 3D (born Robert del Naja) to form Massive Attack in 1987; another Wild Bunch alum, Nellee Hooper, split his time between the new group and his other project, Soul II Soul. The group's first single, "Daydreaming," appeared in 1990; it featured the sultry vocals of singer Shara Nelson and raps by Tricky, another onetime Wild Bunch collaborator. The classic "Unfinished Sympathy" followed, as did another compelling effort, "Safe From Harm." Finally, in 1991 Massive Attack issued their debut LP, Blue Lines; while by no means a huge commercial success, the record was met with major critical praise, and was dubbed an instant classic in many quarters. Nelson, featured on many of the album's most memorable tracks, exited for a solo career soon after, and the group then confusingly changed their name to simply "Massive" to avoid any implication of approval for the U.N.'s policy towards Iraq; in the wake of the disastrous U.S. tour that followed, many were quick to write the band off right then and there.
After a three-year layoff, Massive Attack — their full name now properly reinstated — resurfaced with Protection; again working with Hooper and Tricky, they also brought into the fold vocalist Nicolette, as well as Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn. 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. Finally, to promote their appearance at the annual Glastonbury music festival, the group issued a new EP, Risingson, during the summer of 1997. The third full-length Massive Attack effort, Mezzanine, appeared in mid-1998; in addition to reggae singer Horace Andy, making his third consecutive LP appearance with the group, vocal chores were handled by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser and newcomer Sara Jay. Mezzanine became a cult hit among critics, clubs, and the college crowds, spinning successful singles such as "Teardrop" and "Inertia Creeps." A tour of America and Europe followed, but Vowles left the band after disagreeing with the artistic direction of Mezzanine. Del Naja and Marshall continued as a duo, later working with the likes of David Bowie and the Dandy Warhols, but Marshall later took a leave of absence to raise his family; producer Neil Davidge took up the slack. In February 2003, after a five-year wait, Massive Attack released their fourth album, 100th Window, including collaborations with mainstay Horace Andy as well as Sinéad O'Connor. Danny the Dog from 2004 marked the group's entry into the world of soundtracks.

Hymn of the Big Wheel
Horace Andy
The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes There's a hole in my soul like a cavity Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging Look my son the weather is changing I'd like to feel that you could be free Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree Sometime again You'll turn green and the sea turns red My son I said the power of axis over my head The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes We sang about the sun and danced among the trees And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone Down within the shadows where the factories drone On the surface of the wheel they build another town And so the green come tumbling down Yes close your eyes and hold me tight And i'll show you sunset sometime again The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise While satellites and cameras watch from the skies An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me And all the king's men cannot put it back again But the ghetto sun will nurture life And mend my soul sometime again The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes (x2)

Inertia creeps 3d Recollect me darling raise me to your lips Two undernourished egos four rotating hips Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale Can't endure then you can't inhale Clearly Out of body experience interferes And dreams of flying I fit nearly Surrounds me though I get lonely Slowly Moving up slowly Inertia keeps She's moving up slowly Slowly Moving up slowly Inertia creeps Moving up slowly She comes Moving up slowly She comes Moving up slowly Inertia creeps Moving up slowly She comes Moving up slowly Moving up slowly In my home no chrome as clear as See me now with my nearest dearest Been there when I'm over careering Room shifting is endearing Between us is our kitchen Would you found my irritant's itching Been here before Been here forever Moving up slowly Inertia keeps Moving up slowly Inertia creeps Moving up slowly Inertia keeps Moving up slowly She comes Moving up slowly Moving up slowly She comes moving up slowly Inertia creeps moving up slowly She comes I make no sound in my eidertown Awake I lie in the morning's blue Room is still my antenna in you Nylon burns the bedspread with two Gravity's zero see me stall I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall It can be sweet though incomplete though And the frames will freeze See me on all four's It's been a long time She comes She comes I want to x you She comes I want to x you She comes I caught your radio waves I caught your radio waves Will you take a string Say you string me along Say you string me along Say inertia creeps Inertia creeps and she comes Say she comes Say she comes Say she comes Say she comes
Dissolved girl Sara Jay Shame, such a shame I think I kind of lost myself again Day, yesterday Really should be leaving but I stay Say, say my name I need a little love to ease the pain I need a little love to ease the pain It's easy to remember when it came 'Cause it feels like I've been I've been here before You are not my savior But I still don't go Feels like something That I've done before I could fake it But I still want more Fade, made to fade Passion's overrated anyway Say, say my name I need a little love to ease the pain I need a little love to ease the pain It's easy to remember when it came 'Cause it feels like I've been I've been here before You are not my savior But I still don't go, oh I feel live something That I've done before I could fake it But I still want more, oh.

Babel
( Vocals : Martina Topley-Bird ) Say, "What's on paper" Said it was my Babel It was my Babel Tell it in your paper Now you know it's over Rolling off her shoulder You can take a ladder To the shadows and forget Was it how she kissed you And then dismissed you Was it purposeful And was it just to hook you in Hallucinating Chasing Changing Racing Breaking Hating 'til you're lost in I Well, you lost your girlfriend She was not going You was not knowing Where you were going You were on your own He was quick to burning He was slow to learning Though his eyes were misted He still kissed her when she cried You did your best to please her You didn't up and leave her You defended the harsh way it ended Now sleep tight Hallucinating Chasing Changing Pacing Bracing Breaking ? ? ? ? I would curve in love You wanna be the one that shoots that truth I'm not dead I'm running so far out of my head This sprain of heart that ripples my day You can never sail by thinking again away

Psyche
Martina Topley-Bird : I'm looking for you In the woods tonight, I'm looking Looking for you with my flashlight, I'm searching ? And I pace myself in racing Cain the wolf, Cain the wolf Conjure me as a child Slipping down the wet side Stretch out, I'm gonna reach him Jumping up, they drag him from the water I watch them march him into life I watch them take him from the pale Look to the sky for your eagle eye ? Ridicule, they won't allow Quench abuse and let love flower Rip the cage out of your chest Let the chaos fool the rest Show without showing What you know without knowing Twig snap, eye catch, lone canoe Only you and me Alone on the old TLC Dissolving who we are Call out for yesterday's destiny gone We're on a foreign shore It was the marker falling I was the car still running And when you call, I'll be your shield for life And if you feel it, you'll fly The sun still bathed me And I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in As I was set to fall in

Aftersun
( Featuring Dot Allison - Danny The Dog OST )
When i was chasing the fear away, I forgot to breathe again. In this moment we shine, Burn to ember every time. When i was trying to shelter, I forgot to rescue you. In these moments we drown, Take this rose with thorns to crown. Every time i fall i am ascending. Every time you call me near. Only when we slip the need is ending. Mirror i am letting go. When you were trying to save me, You forgot to let me go. In this freedom we found, Raining stars down to the ground. And with the truth in your hands, You concealed it with your lies In this moment we drowned, Lost more than we ever found. Every time i fall i am ascending, Every time you call me near. Only when we slip the need is ending Mirror i am letting go...

Constellations in installations of my fixation of so sensational, oh What would it take to know? In the beauty of the night sky Taking a peep at the history Messages in the mystery Further to what the eye may see Eye to eye with these reasonings More to gain from believing in Beyond the Lord, now we leave it in Watching you wave that dependency Who, the wheres, and the why for Cause to live or to die for We all search for some kind of truth Hurt will make it inclined to be Type the type for self righteous Cool and pure with no hype just Black it before and behind us Nature might remind us Fear for fear but where time lives Secretly in those eyelids All for one with one iris Black it before and behind us Nature might remind us Fear for fear but where time lives Secretly in those eyelids All for one with one iris Flashing light years, flashing light years Flashing right here, flashing light years Dancing upon these timelines Knowing that the time lies Before and ahead of us Lose your head then head it up Just now we get perspective Deep love for the unexpected That special request is Made for the soul investments The bank of all these fortunes That just can't be exhausted Those infinite resources Where you just don't need to force it The work is where the force is The transport for sport lives Amongst and beyond it The seekers and the finders Sure as death can find us One inside the tapestry, flashing light years Flashing light years, flashing right here

Planes Nothing's changed And english boys without your names Riot like the 1980's again The days of rage yeah nothing's changed More pretty flames
Four Walls ( Massive Attack Vs. Burial ) They know that I can't settle down They know but they won't keep me in line, in line They know that I want his liquid They know that I'm not her breath They know that I can't settle down They know but they won't keep me in line, in line, in line These four walls have eyes, got lost on the way They'll hold me a while till he thinks that way, till In line last night held the light Down to save me from pain, happiness can lie Remembering our lost home (our lost way) In line, in line, in line till we're lost, I forgot
Home of the Whale (Owen Hand) Caroline Lavelle Oh my love he works upon the sea On the waves that blow wild and free He splices the ropes and he sets the sail While southwards he roams to the home of the whale And he ne'er thinks of me far behind Or the torments that rage in my mind He is mine for only part of the year Then I'm left all alone with only my tears All ye ladies that smell of white rose Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn For the man ne'er returns from hunting the sperm [whale] Oh my love he works upon the sea On the waves that blow wild and free He splices the ropes and he sets the sail While southwards he roams to the home of the whale
I against I
( Feat Mos def / Balde 2 Soundtrack )
I-ya, I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, My images reflect in the enemies eye, And his images reflect in mine the same time, I-ya, I-ya, I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, Right here is where the end gon' start at, Conflict, contact 'n' combat, Fighters stand where the land is marked at, Settle the dispute about who the livest, 3 word answer, Whoever survive this, Only one of us can ride forever, So you and I cant ride together, Can't live or cant die together, All we can do is collide together, So I skillfully apply the pressure, Won't stop until I'm forever... One! A door step where death never come, Spread across time til my time never done, And I'm never done, Walk tall, why ever run? When they move if I ever come? Bad man never fret the war, tell'em come General we have the stock, the mad fire burn I-ya, I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, My images reflect in the enemies eye, And his images reflect in mine the same time, I-ya, I-ya, I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, Survive (x16) Reign supreme in your U-N-I, V-E-R-S-E with the sharpness, Narrow row building no space for partners, No space for drivers, no space for walkers, No space regardless, Your on my path then get off it, Hardheaded and unresponsive, Get they lives put on target with harshness, Come with the canons sparkin' they darken, Who am i? One man squadron, Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow, The thousand yard spear that'll pierce through your armor, You can get it on right now if you want to, But when ya front 9 get marched through, I warned you, You know who forever belong to, I-ya, I-ya I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, My images reflect in the enemies eye, And his images reflect in mine the same time, I-ya, I-ya, I against I, Flesh of my flesh, And mind of my mind, Two of a kind but one won't survive, My images reflect in the enemies eye, And his images reflect in mine, survive Survive (x16)

Nature boy
( From Moulin rouge Ost / Words & lyrics Eden Ahbez ) David Bowie
There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy And sad of eye But very wise Was he And then one day One magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved in return (I love you)

Reflection
3D Take me where the tides start And i can pull you into me You're pressure crushing gravity Your corona is reaching consequences Misting all my lenses It all comes back to me (back to me) Broken down folio Collects like dust around my head And lightly rings and clings Can't be shaken off the last Like characters we less and mess Your rig goes damnation now to appease you There's nothing i can save for this No fold it up into a fist No violent string No flight-path No cream Comes back to me Comes back to me It all comes back to me It all comes back to me Comes back to me Comes back to me Comes back to me No use to me Infrared to find you I fly in to remind you I burnt my universe for you Attracted to opposing poles And anti-matter protocols In seconds flat you're history No use to me, no mystery No use to me, no use to me No use to me No use to me, no use to me Comes back to me No use to me, back to me
