r/MassiveAttack

Hi, just jumped onto your sub as I have one chance to get someone to listen to their music...what one song would you go for, to get them intrigued and impressed enough to listen further? I'm thinking something off Mezzanine as he likes darker beats and I think he'd like the guitar on that album. Group Four is my jam but not sure that works as a standalone.

I recently listened to their new song "Boots on the ground" and I'm honestly very disappointed.

Anyone have any positive thoughts on their song? It seems wildly different to anything else in their discography and I'm appalled really.

With the European tour commencing soon, are we expecting a new refreshed setlist? If not, they’ll have been doing the same setlist for pretty much two years - even if they started opening again with United Snakes, something different would be nice. What do others think?

I'm pretty sure everyone agrees Mezzanine is a masterpiece. However, I think it's also a common opinion that the album is front-loaded. My understanding from interviews with the band is that they were sick of each other by the end of recording Mezzanine, so were more focussed on just finishing the thing and not too bothered about track order. I've been trying to figure out what a more balanced, alternative tracklist would look like. What do others think?

I just noticed that '100th Window' is not on Tidal. They do have '100th Window - The Remixes'.

On Spotify - which I won't use - '100th Window' is also missing.

Does anyone know why it's missing?

Haven't seen the man live since an Academy gig a decade plus back. I've heard mixed things about his gigs since but I'm fairly excited, with Massive Attack to come next month too.

Anyone going? Looks like he sold Vicar Street out either way.

Not seeing it on Spotify and YouTube is showing me everything but the song

Tricky is coming to the US (allegedly, dude always cancels his tours). Anyone have the presale code for Cambridge MA?

On the album «The Beautiful Game: The Official Album Of Euro 96» MA has a song called Eurochild Ninety 6. I haven’t been able to find the song online anywhere.

Is this another version of Eurochild, like something between the original and Euro Zero Zero? Does any of you know where I can find it (without tracking down the CD on EBay or similar)
