The pioneering power slow the surface of trip-hop, Massive Attack were among the most forward-looking and influential groups of their generation; their mesmerizing intelligent -- a in darkness sensual and cinematic fusion of rap rhythms, soulful melodies, knight grooves, and choice samples -- set the gait for a great deal of the dance medicine to emerge end-to-end the nineties, paving material the way for such acclaimed artists as Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Beth Orton, and Tricky, himself a Massive Attack alumna. Their history dates back to 1983 and the formation of the Wild Bunch, one of the earliest and most successful sound-system/DJ collectives to get in on the U.K. music aspect; illustrious for their seamless integration of a full range of musical styles, from punk to reggae to R&B, the group's parties rapidly became can't-miss events for the Bristol clubhouse crowd, and at the bloom of their popularity they drew crowds so tremendous that the local live music scene basically ground to a block.
When the Wild Bunch folded during the mid-'80s, two of its members -- Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles and Grant "Dada G" Marshall -- teamed with local graffiti artist 3D (born Robert del Naja) to form Massive Attack in 1987; some other Wild Bunch alum, Nellee Hooper, split his meter between the new group and his other stick out, Soul II Soul. The group's number 1 single, "Oneirism," appeared in 1990; it featured the sensual vocals of isaac M. Singer Shara Nelson and raps by Tricky, some other onetime Wild Bunch quisling. The classic "Unfinished Sympathy" followed, as did some other compelling effort, "Safe From Harm." Finally, in 1991 Massive Attack issued their debut LP, Blue Lines; piece by no substance a huge commercial success, the record was met with major critical praise, and was dubbed an exigent classical in many living quarters. Nelson, featured on many of the album's most memorable tracks, exited for a solo career shortly after, and the radical then bewilderingly changed their name to only "Massive" to debar whatsoever implication of favourable reception for the U.N.'s policy towards Iraq; in the wake of the fatal U.S. spell that followed, many were quick to write the band off right then and in that respect.
Afterwards a three-year layoff, Massive Attack -- their full name now the right way reinstated -- resurfaced with Auspices; again working with Hooper and Tricky, they besides brought into the plica singer Nicolette, as well as Everything merely the Girl's Tracey Thorn. Three singles -- "Karmacoma," "Guileful," and the statute title track -- were released from the LP, which was besides remixed in its totality by Mad Professor and issued as No Protection. A drawn-out tour of duty followed, and over the side by side several age, Massive Attack's solo put to work was principally confined to remixes for artists including Garbage; they besides worked with Madonna on a track for a Marvin Gaye tribute record album. Finally, to promote their appearance at the annual Glastonbury music festival, the group issued a new EP, Risingson, during the summer of 1997. The third full-length Massive Attack effort, First balcony, appeared in mid-1998; in add-on to reggae singer Horace Andy, making his third back-to-back LP appearance with the mathematical group, outspoken chores were handled by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser and newcomer Sara Jay. Entresol became a cult strike among critics, clubs, and the college crowds, spinning successful singles such as "Teardrop" and "Inertia Creeps." A spell of America and Europe followed, merely Vowles left the dance band after disagreeing with the artistic direction of Mezzanine floor. Del Naja and Marshall continued as a duet, after working with the likes of David Bowie and the Dandy Warhols, merely Marshall later took a leave of absence to elevate his kin; producer Neil Davidge took up the slake. In February 2003, after a five-year wait, Massive Attack released their fourth record album, centesimal Window, including collaborations with lynchpin Horace Andy as well as Sinéad O'Connor. Danny the Dog from 2004 marked the group's entry into the world of soundtracks.
