Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Massive Attack's Danny the Dog is a non-diagetic soundtrack to the film of the same name that follows the story of a street-fighter who has spent his life being cruelly treated as a dog. Since the music is a system of the entire film, very little is structured as one might expect a complete song to be. There are moments of classic Massive Attack such as "Collar Stays On" and "Polaroid Girl" where downbeat, trip-hop drums are laid over the band's characteristic grooves, but this is not a typical artist album. However, despite for the most part being accompaniment, songs like "One Thought at a Time" and "I Am Home", stand out for their structure, the former having a great, sixties psychedelic guitar-sounding hook. Another highlight is "Two Rocks an a Cup of Water", an emotional piece voiced on plucked strings, bell-shaped waves and piano, best described as Boards of Canada in an easy listening mood. Danny the Dog should not be treated as the latest album by Massive Attack for without the moving image it seems in-complete but it does contain some beautiful pieces of atmospheric music that should serve the film very well indeed. --David Trueman

5.0 out of 5 stars Melodic, Harmonic Massive Attack, 30 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This CD is a great piece of work and I reccomend it for those who not only enjoy the vocals of Massive Attack, but the atmospheric, full music itself. Every Massive Attack CD is different, and this one cannot be rated poorly because you expected another Mezzanine or Blue Lins. The purpose of Danny the Dog is backround music for a movie, and they did an excellent job in providing a full backround sound that does not hog the spotlight from the plot of the movie, but increases its meaning. I give Danny the Dog 5 out of 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chihuahua? Doberman!, 2 Oct 2005
By A. BADDELEY "sawtooth12" (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the soundtrack Massive Attack have produced for 'Danny The Dog' (pre-release title) / 'Unleashed' (final release title in more 'suitable' American marketing speak).

It is not a traditional album release. As a soundtrack, it has a different format in its aural presentation: it is meant to support the film's visual and spoken narrative, whilst not taking precedence. However, it is far more than just 'background music', and is typically engaging, challenging and intensely creative in its own right.

I did find, however, that somewhat of a prequisite was to watch the film beforehand. This allowed for more of a personal connection to be established, and lent much more perspective.

As to the music: although consisting of, at times, a different sound, fans of Massive Attack will appreciate this I'm sure. It contains the same level of consistency that MA seem to put into all they do, while always pushing new ideas, keeping things fresh. If you're looking for a 'Blue Lines' duplication, you won't find it here. But then, we've all had 'Blue Lines' already. This is something uniquely different!

Another interesting point is that, at this time, this release on Wild Bunch Records (MA's own indie label) is half the price of that offered by Virgin Records (based on the 'Unleashed' title). Higher costs due to less efficiency? More greed? More grease for this somewhat inefficient machine? I'll leave it to you to decide!

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting album, but no Teardrop or Unfinished Sympathy, 6 Oct 2004
By P. Wilkins "musophil" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This has appeared rather quickly given Massive Attack's generally fairly slow rate of work, but the speed of the albums appearance hasn't affected the work at all - so the question begs, more albums quicker in future?

Anyway, as is well reported this is a soundtrack to a new Luc Besson film, of which I know nothing about. But as an independent piece of music it is interesting. The album opens with a pretty heavy sequence, something that wouldn't sound too far out of place with Nine Inch Nails (say Head Like A Hole). Within a couple of shortish tracks this has neatly transistioned to a very mellow piece that you might hear from someone like Craig Armstrong (who has connections with Massive Attack I believe) - so we have gentle keyboard motifs with strings coming and going. It isn't until about half way through the album that we hear music that is more what you would expect from Massive Attack.

On the whole an interesting and pleasent album, but if you want Teardrop or Unfinished Sympathy then this may not be for you.
