They like to mix it up - if you manage to listen to a few of their albums they've collaborated with lots of people, this is the singer from Everything But The Girl. Their music changed as members of the band DJ'd, or set out on their own, e.g. Tricky. Good that a band/group surprises you, otherwise there's no point keeping buying their albums. I think you'd agree.
the hell you say lord nikon. truly elite (31337) .. now i know what i'm gonna watch tonight. not exclusively, but because of that movie, I am the software developer I am today
yea man that's what i went to school for. although, truth be told, i was forced to take a break with 5 classes left and i haven't been back. i ended up mixing what i learned about software engineering with web development, although i didn't learn any web development at the university. so to sum everything up. learn how to be a good object oriented programmer as well as a good web developer. you don't need to be an artist, i'm not. it's really good to know how to slice a photoshop design into css
this song is absolutely haunting...massive attack have made some amazing tunes, that just touch something deep in me..love them, and love Tracy Thorns vocals
... Note the ball movement (4:06) and you'll know it. It's also interesting how they edit the end (5:37 until the end) when we clearly see the elevator guy's coat falling against the backwall (gravity never lies) at the same time the elevator is going "down" and then it merges with the final take to the street, apparently in one single shot
Besides everything that has been deservedly said about the greatness of this music as well as for te group (M.A.) and Tracy, I'd like to remember you all about the clever video editing because I hope you realized that apart the scenes in the corridor ALL THE ROOM SCENES WERE SHOT HORIZONTALLY AND NOT VERTICALLY,meaning: the characters were actually standing or lying in the backwall of each room - the actual floor - and not onto the "floor" of the fake building...
Not forget 2 mention the brillant guys from massive attack.... have seen the band 3 month ago in a very special concert in cologne.... and i will never forget this one!!!
I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection She's a girl and you're a boy Sometimes you look so small, look so small You've got a baby of your own When your baby's grown, she'll be the one To catch you when you fall
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter And I've leaned on you for years Now you can lean on me And that's more than love, that's the way It should be Now I can't change the way you think But I can put my arms around you That's just part of the deal That's the way I feel I put my arms around you
Aaaah, illusion destroyed...always imagined a black beauty singing this...anyway...love the song...really, really one of my favourites....love the sound of the rain...music^^
That's Tracy Thorn(e), of "Everything But The Girl" fame. That beautiful alto! She did her own protecting when her longtime boyfriend and musical partner Ben Watt became deathly ill with Churg-Strause disease. He wrote a very moving book about the experience, "Patient". She's fantastic, isn't she?
One of the best songs that I have ever heard in my life. "I've leaned on you for years now you can lean on me, thats more than love thats the way it should be." Genious
Great tune, a modern classic and what a video!!! How did they make it?!?! I know you are all going to tell me steady cam and so on on but I am not talking about the technique of it, I'm talking of the inspiration and how they mapped out out every shot. Brilliant. Kubrick would be proud!
I suspose quite a good song but not up to the standards of five and blue. please dont find out where i live- its only a joke.protection pure cut fuckin quall!!!
i had one that was a little metal attack helicopter with yellow and red buttons on the side but i think they used the electronics in a bunch of different toys
see this is whats fuckin wrong with these thick cunts in music today all they're intrestedin is selling the most selling out arenas instead of being fuckin inovators massive attack push the fuckin envelope everytime they put something out long live the wild bunch
esactly, i listen to mostly 80s or 90s music (and im only 20, so its not like its was what was around when i was an adult and thats what im use to) because i think it has more merit and more thought/feeling in it - music these days is just shallow and wishy-washy and generic - love these old 90s tunes!
I remember listening to this song during all night long in the plane sending me to Caracas for the best trip of my life. I was like flying inside a plane, strange and nice sensation. The best song for me before going to sleep, it sticks back pieces...
Thank God for Tracey Thorn, anybody else there a fan of hers??? What a voice and still no obsessive glamour, now there is somebody worth copying girls and boys, any comments???SJK
Ciao a tutti! Lo sapevate che i Massive Attack faranno una data in italia nel 2008? Il 20 Luglio saranno a Piazzola sul Brenta (Padova). Alle 21.30 all'Anfiteatro Camerini!! E' un concerto a cui andrò sicuramente, qualcuno si vuole aggregare?
