Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Though perhaps not as relentlessly stylish as their contemporaries Underworld, Massive Attack are still easily the most influential dance-related act of the 1990s. But on this special, limited-edition boxed set, they've also got style to spare: the box itself is gloriously groovy, constructed from a heat-sensitive material that changes colour whenever somebody handles it. And then there's the music: 11 CDs, comprising 63 tracks that include album versions, B-sides and some of the best remixes around. Though the package could have fit on fewer discs--making for fewer trips to the CD player--there's ample reasons to pull the box off the shelf repeatedly: rediscovering classics like the Bond theme-ish "Sly", the relentlessly funky Brixton bass Mix of "Daydreaming" and the subversive, lustful Underdog's Angel Dust Mix of "Protection" among them. --Randy Silver
CD Description
Although long since graduated to the status of full-blown pop stars (and ones known for constructing album-length worksof 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 thatsub-culture and the group's larger audience.
In doing so, it gives a better idea of the group's range than any otheralbum. 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.
