Yeah, about a minute, 6 years and 9 months...

"Vocalists are Horace, Martina Topley Bird, Damon Albarn, Tunde Adebimpe, Guy Garvey, Hope Sandoval, Robert and Grant."

I'm sure it'll be good, but keep hoping for another Tracey Thorne track or two myself.

That's a nice voc list! However, it's hard for me to become very excited after Splitting the Atom.

 

[krmathis]

Awesome news!

Really looking forward to this one...

 

[punkaroo]

This is bloody great news!

Isn't there a member missing from the voc list? By God, it's been so long since I listened to MA that I don't remember his name...he did nearly all the vocals for "100th Window". Dammit!

I just heard the track Paradise Circus.

insane! such good!


I don't even like Massive Attack that much to be honest (only ever owned Mezzanine) but maybe I will finally get into them with this record. definitely planning to buy it now

YouTube - Massive Attack - Paradise Circus



also I heard Adrian Utley plays guitar on a track, anyone know which one that is? guess I'll have to wait for CD and liner notes to come out

^ Thanks for the link.
Quite like this "Paradise Circus" song. Excited to hear how the entire album comes out.

 

[TheAttorney]

Oh no! I've just told myself to stop buying more albums for a while, and then this comes along to tempt me.

Blue Lines, Protection and Mezzanine all sound very different to me and I like em all - especially Mezzanine when I'm in a certain mood. This new track sounds different to all of them and I'm liking it very much.

The one I haven't tried is 100th Window - they seemed to lose some band members and the album got mixed reviews at the time. Am I missing out?

 

[xantus]

the entire album is pretty good.. but standouts for me are 1, 2, 4, 10. 10 is by far my favorite of the album.

 

[Orpheus]

just put in my preordered with deepdiscount.com. thanks for letting me know.

 

[virometal]

I really like the song, yet it doesn't strike me ad triumphant, like say Machine Gun from that other Trip-hop act while back.

Maybe my expectations for Massive Attack are too high.

 

[ZepherX]

Atlas Air is definitely my favorite along with paradise circus.
