MASSIVE ATTACK: “Angel”
(Circa/Virgin)
This should really get the party going at the local disco. . . not! Dragging you down deeper into their druggy netherworld, this is, as we have come to expect from The Attack, a pretty heavy trip. But it’s not exactly prime single material and surely makes much more sense within the context of the album. The other problem is that Liz Fraser doesn’t sing on
this one.

I’d hate to be a Massive Attack roadie. Not only do they have four vocalists, six banks of synths, live guitars, drums and percussion to worry about, but there’s a huge ticker-taping video screen to put up and take down every bleedin’ night.

Another A-list act returning to the scene after a notable absence – three whole years, in the Bristol band’s case. Dare we hope that they’ve spent this time creating something as mesmerizing as ‘Teardrop’ or ‘Unfinished Symphony’? Sadly ‘Live With Me’ doesn’t quite make that league, even though it’s as laidback as they come, with vocal goodness from folk/jazz legend Terry Callier and a whole string section to boot. But no, my crystal ball has already seen the future and says this won’t go down in history as one of their finest moments. Although, it’s on their forthcoming best of album, so technically, I’m already wrong.

The soundtrack to Louis Leterrier’s movie Danny The Dog (a martial arts thriller starring Bob Hoskins, Morgan Freeman and Jet Li), this is more of an interesting side project than a real album. Think Passengers, only without any lyrics.

Every now and then you attend a gig that extends far beyond a live music event. Something clicks in the space between your ears and you feel you’ve been changed forever.
