Drugs only make appreciation from music and anything else greater because they open your mind (well at least if we are talking about dissociatives, psychedelics or even mj). And it is not big deal if someone needs it or not. It is just someone's individual point of view. But I do not call anybody faggot if he or she do not tend to do any drugs. That is the difference. Anyway, haters gonna hate ;)

[dreacul]

.....this song makes me introduce my finger in my anus...just to have a similar comment xD

[ancientpatrician]

@dreacul massive faggot

[dreacul]

@ancientpatrician You didn't understood I was ironical as reply to the comments I see on this page. ;)

[ancientpatrician]

@dreacul NO. Blatant lies and slander!

[TrippyHopper]

@dreacul Haha, dude, you're experiencing some mental issues. 

[xxdufffxx]

This song makes me want to touch myself.

[Kaqalko]

It perfectly describes what I feel after - spliff slow motion with pure happiness. But there are confusing, kind of gloomy thoughts in the background which are nicely presented by those bizarre sounds. And those sounds slowly takes control control of yourself and you have more and more incentives and then when it reaches its peak it sends a felicity which is indescribable for non-smokers. Well, great song for potheads. Oh and yes I am high right now :)

[wluczymorda]

@Kaqalko you must smoke some good weed :)

[PicturesOfMyButt]

@Kaqalko You need a drug to appreciate music

[iJustDontGiveAShit]

@PicturesOfMyButt People that use drugs think you need it to appreciate everything. They're just faggots.

[rayrayray63]

Mezzanine burned them out, 3 great friends drifted apart after this one. Things would never be the same with them. While MA would still have some output the spark was gone.

[pearlsym]

sexy as hell

[Spaz12isHipAimedFagg]

You are all faggots

[apocalypse123]

I wouldn't mind fucking to this song.

[Johnnys1700]

ahh the second the bass kicks in..

[glockwork24]

3 people are not pot heads! lmao

[MultiMaryjane69]

hearing this song makes me want to walk in slow motion

[BARBARALACERDA]

the sample on this is from Issaac hayes' "By the time i get to Phoenix"

[inrussiatubeviewsyou]

I can pretty much smell pot smoke coming from my speakers

[fubarded]

It seems weird to me that this was included on Mezzanine, with the rest of the album being so much more dark and sinister. Having said that, this is an absolutely incredible song, and it still fits nicely on the album.

[151ksenia]

This is sooooo the kind of music that Im into! It is magnificent!

[TheAUDIOARCADE]

the version on the z boys movie is WAAAAAAY DIFF! i guess bcuse i first heard it on there i relate more to that version..but yeah just play side by side... super different sounds and arrangement...even more trippy and ethereal

[PancakeRecipes]

Strange how know one gets all upset about Massive Attack using samplings. I guess it aint steeling if your white lol.

[frostflower789]

@PancakeRecipes i think its because nobody knows what song this was sampled from and....exchange isn't being played on the radio all day.

[PancakeRecipes]

@frostflower789

I know what song this is sampled from.

[anarchydance]

@PancakeRecipes Explain? Without sample stealing, hip-hop wouldn't exist.

[PancakeRecipes]

@anarchydance

I've noticed over the years that usually only the black music artists get a lot of crap for sampling, while white groups like Massive Attack, Daft Punk, and Portis Head to name a few never ever seem to get any sort of criticism for sampling, in fact they usually get praise and admiration for how artistic they are. It seems like a huge double standard to me.

[wootslap]

@PancakeRecipes Do you realize that when Massive Attack made this song, they were 2/3 black? Now the only current members are one white man and one black man. What is it that makes them a "white group?"

[VanTobyx]

@PancakeRecipes portishead only use samples of instruments or noises they made up or played them selves...

[anarchydance]

@VanTobyx This isn't entirely true. The rhythm used in "Glory Box" is sampled from another Isaac Hayes joint - "Ike's Rap II." There were a number of samples used on the first 'Dummy' album that you can look up on Wikipedia.

[KatanaSole]

@PancakeRecipes you're blind. i know it's fun to play the victim and be helpless in america then everyone feels sorry for you, but sampling in hip-hop is not really looked down upon any more than black people accusing elvis of stealing their music, or eminem making money off black music. please link me to the outrage and accusations of "stealing" when a sample is used in hip-hop. i think it's quite the opposite, producers who use samples well are always given high praise.

[PancakeRecipes]

@KatanaSole

If I had a penny for every time I've heard someone make fun of P Diddy for sampling, I would be a rich man. Massive Attack or Daft Punk, not so much.

[Galakazoo]

@PancakeRecipes

Out of all the things to make fun of P Diddy for, they choose sampling?

Just the tiniest bit of a hard time believing that.

[SuperiFox]

@PancakeRecipes I think it's more when people use sampling in a really bland and boring way.. Massive Attack and Daft Punk have put their own style on songs when they use samples.

[PancakeRecipes]

@SuperiFox

No offense but a single one bar looped sample and one vocal sentence repeated over and over again for three and a half minutes isn't really that creative to me. But it still sounds good and is fun to dance too.

[SuperiFox]

@PancakeRecipes It's all about the way you utilize it. When it's a sample that's the exact same as the original, and there's not much else in terms of other instrumentation in the song, it's kinda cheap/hip-hop.

Massive attack puts on a lot of effects, has a lot less minimal instrumentation, and relies on it less. IMO, that's what makes them more creative.

[M4hB]

@PancakeRecipes Hmm you seem to be thinking that a music's creativity is only determined by its complexity, thats completely wrong. This music is simple yet creative.

[PancakeRecipes]

@KatanaSole

Who ever said I am an American?

[tacosaucemafia]

@PancakeRecipes WTF! HOW IS MASSIVE ATTACK WHITE? all the fucking members are black except robert del naga. Daddy g is black, Horace Andy is Black, Tricky is black, Andrew is black, Shara is black, You are straight up uninformed on Massive Attack.

[MisterBankz]

@PancakeRecipes The only people who bitch about sampling these days are fans of the artist being sampled (i.e Kanye West sampling Aphex Twin and Daft Punk) . I don't see what's to complain about though, as long as you do it creatively I think it's awesome (in Kanye West's case and this song for example) .

[PancakeRecipes]

@MisterBankz

na if you look into it a little deeper it definitely IS a racial thing. I love sampling myself, I do it when I make music. But I absolutely hate when black artists get hated on while a lot of white artist like Bjork or Daft Punk get only praise for sampling.

[MisterBankz]

@PancakeRecipes Maybe it was a racial thing a few years back, I don't see much of that anymore . Like I said what I've seen is mainstream artists catching hate for sampling underground music (or just artists that aren't mainstream) .

[PancakeRecipes]

@MisterBankz

Good point.

[DesertFoxKG]

Isaac Hayes... The king!

[sk8anddestroy515]

@DillByrne "Operation: Greenbacks" from Operation: Doomsday.

[Five5six]

This is the perfect 'smoking a cigarette after sex' song ever.

[Starsend63]

E' come tornare indietro nel tempo e rivivere un ricordo piacevole, una storia positiva lasciandosi cullare sulle onde di questo meraviglioso brano.

[TheSilverAce]

This song sounds like an auditory manifestation of the beauty of love itself.

It reminds me of a couple sitting at a drive-in movie and kissing.
