More Information

Massive Attack -

One of the most innovative bands that the UK has ever produced, responsible for the sound of the summer, in 1991 with the release of the critically acclaimed Blue Lines. The second album Protection with collaborations with Tracey Thorn and Horace Andy was an even bigger success; both albums have sold well over a million copies each. The third album Mezzanine was a much darker affair and features the vocals of Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and Sara Jay.
