Single of the month : Live with Massive Attack


Bristol collective Massive Attack, the trio of 3D, Mushroom, and Daddy G emerged in the beginning of the 90’s as the pioneers of a dark and hypnotic liquor sound called trip-hop. I will not be original in saying that Massive Attack were among the most creative groups of the last 15 years.

Collected, released this month on Virgin, is a compilation of 13 emblematic tracks like Unfinished Sympathy, Protection, Teardrop and other excellent risky beverages.

Added to those gems, Live With Me is “the” unreleased track, a haunting blues sing by the deep voice of Terry Callier. Once you have heard Live With Me you'll feel in a different mood that will make you want to hear it again and again…

... and then, watch 20 times the intriguing and frightening video directed by Jonathan Glaser.

Of course, the above Mp3 and video are for sampling purpose only. If you like the song, I am sure you will be buying this album.
