Album Review: Massive Attack - Blue Lines

  • Mood:
  • Music: Massive Attack - One Love
  • Todays Thought: Think it's as good as it gets...it gets better

It's the late 1980's and the publics insatiable appetite for new forms of music is still driving the innnovators within the industry to create new forms of music. Then along comes the much respected DJ / Collective the Wild Bunch to form a band which would meld soul, dub, hip hop, reagge and a choice range of melodies and samples into a diverse collection of tracks that introduced a generation to a new form of music. Trip-Hop. Following the sucesses of the innovating Massive Attack, came bands like Portishead, Morcheeba, The Sneaker Pimps as well as many other big name artists to found a new artform, which is capable of crossing the age divide, as well as the genre divide.

Andrew 'Mushroom' Vowels, Tricky, Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall, Robert Del Naja (alias 3D), Shara Nelson, Nellee Hooper (also of soul II soul), were the original members of the band, but they were joined in the late 90's by Cocteau Twins, Elizabeth Frazer, Raegge singer Horace Andy, and Sara Jay to compile pehaps one of the defining albums of the 90's - Mezzanine. Massive Attack received worldwide recognition for 'Safe from Harm' taken from their very first album 'Blue Lines', as well as receiving critical acclaim, and further cult status for 'Unfinished Sympathy', which is an essential part of the soundtrack for the 90's generation.

'One Love' provided the Raegge tip on the album, which set out the stall of a combo that would change the face of dance, soul, and hip hop forever. The album itself is compiled and arranged to take the listener on a musical journey that, enhances the deepest drum riffs, to the most orchestral of melodies, while the lyrics and rap styles of the various artists, show a deeper respect for music, than the ordinary DJ could ever provide. It would be impossible to imagine the band with any of the elements missing, yet somehow I think they'd still pull it off.

Verdict: Genius? You betcha.

Wild Bunch / Virgin Records 1991

Safe From Harm
One Love
