#GreatAlbums1990s - #MassiveAttack - #BlueLines (1991). The idea of warming-up electronica with classic soul wasn’t unprecedented, but Massive’s ingenious stew – peppered with mumbled rap for a streetwise vibe – laid the foundation for much of what happened in 90s pop outside of guitar rock. “Safe from Harm,” “Be Thankful for What You’ve Got” and “Unfinished Sympathy” are like Motown for the 90s, echoing later in everything from Bjork to Amy Winehouse. #GreatPopAlbums, #Reviews, #TripHop
