On 28 January 2016, Massive Attack released a new EP, Ritual Spirit, followed by The Spoils in July.
The group are considered to be progenitors of the trip hop genre. Their debut album, Blue Lines was released in 1991, with the single "Unfinished Sympathy" reaching the charts and later being voted the 10th greatest song of all time in a poll by The Guardian. 1998's Mezzanine, containing "Teardrop", and 2003's 100th Window charted in the UK at number 1. Both Blue Lines and Mezzanine feature in Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The group has won numerous music awards throughout their career, including a Brit Award—winning Best British Dance Act, two MTV Europe Music Awards, and two Q Awards They have released 5 studio albums that have sold over 11 million copies worldwide.
In the nineties, the trio became known for often not being able to easily get along with one another and working increasingly separately. Andy Vowles (Mushroom), who had once thought of himself as the trio's musical director, acrimoniously left Massive Attack in late 1999, after an ultimatum from the other two members to end the group immediately if he did not. Despite having taken Del Naja's side in the effective firing of Vowles and then participating in a show-of-unity webcast as a duo the following year, Grant Marshall (G) had also effectively left by 2001 in that he abandoned the studio altogether. Marshall returned to a studio role in 2005, having joined the touring line-up in 2003/4. The two later worked together again in the 2008 Damon Albarn sessions for the fifth proper studio album.

Massive Attack Lyrics
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
Night, night after day
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling in the dark
You're stumbling in the dark

@Mother Maniac Wow what a wonderful reply. Thank you sincerely for taking the time to write it. Never apologise for sharing ideas and music. It's the universal solvent and universal language(no matter what emoji advocates may say lol!)
I'm from Ireland and starting in 2001, when I was just shy of 17, I began travelling to the UK A LOT to see bands I like. Often they wouldn't book an Irish date. For example I was in London seeing NIN when those 7/7 attacks happened(twice I got shit because of my accent...🤷🏼♀️)
Unfortunately I've never been to Glasto and I am very impressed with your 12 times! That's amazing and you must have seen some unbelievable performances. I often check out Glasto videos even from bands I am not necessarily into because something magical about that festival gives an incredible energy to the performers and audience.
Oh I LOVE Tool/APC/Puscifer. In 2002 the Irish Ozzfest Ozzie cancelled so Tool headlined, Maynard painted blue and did a longer set... Was epic.
I'm a huge Trent/NIN fan and love his work for soundtracks. He has a side project with his wife singing called How To Destroy Angels and its amazing. I love his soundtrack to Gone Girl, Soul(his second Oscar) and the Watchmen TV show(first Emmy) funnily enough an instrumental album from 2008 called Ghosts I-IV(recently he released V and VI for free) there's a track Ghosts 34-IV which is basically 'Old Town Road' 😂 so he has a Country music award too! 😂
Big fan of Prince too and luckily I seen him a few times. Then anything Nick Cave does or Siouxsie Sioux. Queens Of the Stone Age. And a very big part of my life has been the Manics. I have four Manics tats. The Holy Bible is my fave album ever. Richey was an amazing artist. Always wonder what happened to him.
I could go on and on lol. Recently I been getting back into KLF quite a lot and Aphex Twin again. Listening to something like America What Time is Love? By KLF is an experience! 😂 As is their song with Tammy Wynette(?!! 😂) 'Justified and Ancient'.
I will definitely check out those groups you mentioned and I am familiar with Fontaines DC actually, not so much the music but I've seen the name around you know?
You mentioned chilling out there... Ever hear of Nouvelle Vague? They do these loungy/jazzy/chilled versions of 80s neww wave stuff and their singer is a French girl I think. Stuff like New Order, Depeche Mode... Oh their cover of Bauhuas 'Bella Lugosis Dead' is... Special! 😂
Actually first live gig in the UK was in the MEN. I've been to Manchester a ton of times. Love the place. My sis lived there for a while too so was handy to go. Great vibe in the city and awesome crowd. Even seen Motley Crue there!
I've a hard drive of thousands and thousands of albums and full discographies of artists... I mean soooooooo much. And a huge library of ebooks and tons on music. For example the AMAZING Al Jourgensen book... Its just a hell of a read. From shooting heroin with William Burroughs to asking Ronald Regan Jr, while smoking crack, about...'enjoying' himself in the white House, to messing with Johnny Depp at a P show in the Viper Room the night River Pheonix died outside... His relationship with Aimee Mann(i know right! 😂)...its INSANE! Ive Nikki Sixx and Motleys books, loads of Nirvana stuff, music trivia, loads of biographies, an amazing book on Richey Edwards recently released that gives so many answers, just loads.in addition to hundreds of other books, everything from Brett Easton Ellis to Irvine Welsh to Hunter Thompson to JFK theory books....
If you ever want I can upload a ton of stuff for you and send the links. Be happy to share music and books with ya. If you want let me know and I'll temporarily pop my email up here so you can take it down ☺
Hope you are doing well and things are good over your side of the pond!
Again, such a cool reply!

Heard it after another day of being bullied at school. It gave me a warmth I never knew. It consoled me through pain. Its connected to so many memories and feelings and sceneries, its like the warmth of the sun made a tune to me. Thank you Massive Attack.

Ya gotta stand up to the bully and show them that they don't bother you......that and beat the holy hell out of that bully. I got bullied in middle school, stood up to him, then had to actually take matters into my own hands by beating the ugly out of him during lunch one day.
Don't put up with a bully.

When school is over you will probably never see any of them ever again. Karma is a very real thing hun! They will get back what they put out three fold! Stay strong!! School will be over before you know it! Sending you mental hugs and strength!!
