#GreatAlbums1990s - #MassiveAttack - #Protection (1994). Although only partially a rap album, Tricky’s Bristol drawl is a unifying factor in this seamless hybrid of hip hop, electronica and pop. Tracey Thorn’s croon, on the title track and “Better Things,” reinforced the disc’s crossover appeal, as Massive’s postmodern soul on Blue Lines grows deeper and darker on this sensual, often brooding tour-de-force. Portishead’s #Dummy was its only true rival. #Albums, #Reviews, #Rap, #GreatPopAlbums

#NowPlaying Massive Attack - Blue Lines. Really blows my mind that this album is 32 years old. I think it still sounds so fresh (maybe my kids would disagree but hey) #MassiveAttack#Bristol#TripHop#Music

Protection è il secondo album in studio del gruppo di musica elettronica inglese Massive Attack, pubblicato il 26 settembre 1994 da Wild Bunch Records e Circa. DJ Mad Professor ha remixato l'album nel 1995 con il nome No Protection. https://noblogo.org/available/massive-attack-protection-1994
Released in 1998 as part of the group's acclaimed album "Mezzanine", "Teardrop" features ethereal vocals by Elizabeth Fraser (formerly of Cocteau Twins). Its haunting melody, downtempo beat, and harpsichord elements made it an instant classic. The song became iconic through its use in the TV series "House M.D."
@perri semplicemente catturava lo spirito dei tempi, ci stava fra i massive attack e i Portishead.
Non A caso la cantante in quell'anno fece il botto con i Massive Attack grazie al title-track Protection:
così ripresero il singolo Missing passato inosservato l'anno prima e facendogli fare il botto con un'arrangiamento più vicino al trip-hop, anche se in effetti essendo più dance ha goduto di una certa fama nelle disco.
