Description

Collected: The Best of Massive Attack on three vinyl LP in great condition and only very slight marks to sleeve.

The group who single-handedly created the woozy, sexual, cinematic, and meditative dance genre known as trip-hop with their 1991 masterpiece Blue Lines later went on to craft gorgeous soundtrack music and generally emerge as one of the most forward-thinking, fastidious, and s-l-o-w production teams in pop music.

Collected, a best-of compilation straddling the group's career, is the kind of record that reeks "contractual obligation," but that's not meant as a diss. If a kick-ass collection like this is what it takes for this heady group to keep the record execs happy while they slowly hone a new album, so be it.

Much of the older tunes sound remarkably contemporary, which isn't surprising when you consider Massive Attack have always mixed styles in radical, new ways. The one new tune included to entice die-hard fans, the slowly percolating and deeply bluesy "Live With Me," is what soul music will sound like in the future.

With their critically acclaimed albums clocking up 9 million sales worldwide, a clutch of awards and a new album due for release in early 2007, the time felt right for a Massive Attack Best Of, an apt reminder of their musical legacy to date.

'Collected' is a compilation that highlights the finest moments of the Bristolian trip-hop pioneers, Massive Attack. Whether on their own or collaborating with artists such as Tricky and Sinead O'Connor, the band have always sought to expand on their atmospheric, dark brand of trip-hop, managing tostay one step ahead of the pack whilst many of their contemporaries have fallen by the wayside. Includes the hits 'Unfinished Sympathy', 'Teardrop' and 'Karmacoma'.
