Massive Attack
Profile:
Collaborative British music production duo from Bristol, England.
The group name is taken from a slogan sprayed by New York graffiti artist 'Brim', who sprayed 'Massive Attack' underneath a 'piece' in Bristol, UK in 1985. 'Brim', along with 'Balogun' and 'Bio' were part of the TATS CRU from NYC who sprayed a 'piece' each together at the Malcolm X Centre, St. Paul's in Bristol. Robert Del Naja, who was an upcoming graffiti artist at the time, with the tag 3-D, has stated that he/they had adopted the slogan initially as a name for a record label, and then later took it on as a band name. During the 1991 Gulf War the group name was shown on some releases as 'Massive' in order to maintain airplay after pressure from the British Government on radio programmers.Less

One of a kind band, some might find it surprising how far they've come from their Wild Bunch hip-hop days.

I'm astounded that nobody has left a comment about these innovators of dance music. They created one of the greatest albums in any genre, 'Blue Lines', which many regard to be the finest dance music album of all time. They invented trip hop long before people like Portishead, Morcheeba etc were on the scene. 'Protection' and 'Mezzanine' are 2 fantastic dance music albums that display superb creativity & timeless tracks encompassing, trip hop, dub, nu-soul, chill out, dark & optmistic lyrics & haunting poignant music which was very much a reflection on the 90s decade. Stunning music makers who will forever be remembered, RESPECT.
