If you have not yet heard of Massive Attack, expect to. Hailing from the UK, this trio of trip-hop revolutionaries (Grant Marshall (a.k.a Daddy Gee), Robert del Naja (a.k.a. 3D), and Andrew Vowles (a.k.a. Mushroom)) took the music world by storm in 1991 with their debut album, "Blue Lines", which was followed up by 1994's "Protection", both of which included contribution from members of the band Everything But The Girl, and those who would later go on to be fame-swept as well - Tricky and Nicolette.
In 1998, the behemoth that is "Mezzanine" was released, scoring major critical acclaim and mesmerizing and haunting listeners from all parts of the world. "Mezzanine" was the band's trend setting break that made more people aware of their skill. This work includes the vocal talents of Sara Jay, Horace Andy and Elizabeth Frasier (Cocteau Twins). They are credited for having their music used in many blockbuster movies (some of which are: Mission: Impossible, Blade 2, Stigmata, Moulin Rouge). Andrew Vowles left the band in 1999, due to dislike of "Mezzanine"'s outcome.
Mushroom's unhappiness with the last album has not halted the creative juices of the remaining members, however, as their new album popped onto the shelves a very short time ago. "100th Window", the group's newest effort splendidly pleases old fans and welcomes new ones. This new nine track CD includes vocals by Damon Albarn (of Blur and Gorillaz fame), Sinead O'Connor, and a return performance from Horace Andy.
Following in the footsteps of "Mezzanine", "100th Window" starts with an ominously
melodic song, "Future Proof". This starts off the experience with great melodic bells and is a worthy introduction of the album, which changes pace many times within the course of the album. The soft-toned, love-song track is here too, "What Your Soul Sings" plays with a relaxing beat reminiscent to that of Mezzanine's soft-song, "Teardrop".
The whole album sounds very new, while keeping the vital style of the original. Vibrant and entertaining, "100th Window" sets a new bar for trip-hop ambience, and is in many ways like a soundtrack to a movie. Superb intros and outro's bind the songs into a swimming unity, making the album more of an experience than a collection of single songs.
Spending money on this item is worth it. There are fewer tracks than Mezzanine, but the quality makes up for most of that loss.More reviews are available at http://venturemall.tripod.com/winbidbuy/id33.html
