product details & reviews
Nov 2009
'Heligoland' is the fifth Massive Attack studio album. It will be four years since the release of their best of album 'Collected' and seven years since their last studio album '100th Window'. The new studio album features original band members Daddy G and 3D, long time cohort Horace Andy and guest vocals from Damon Albarn, Hope Sandoval, Martina Topley-Bird, Guy Garvey and Tunde Adebimpe.
Massive Attack are a seminal group of musical innovators whose early work detonated the Bristol music scene of the early 90’s and unwittingly gave birth to "trip-hop". The group formed in 1987 around their influential and legendary Dug Out club and Jamaican-style soundsystem, playing a groundbreaking blend of hip hop, new wave reggae, early house and techno which shaped their hugely acclaimed 1991 debut, Blue Lines. Mezzanine, their third album released in 1998 proved to be a creative and commercial peak selling in excess of 3 million albums.
- Spin - "In opener, 'Pray or Rain,' TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe sings of failing systems over a rolling-thunder piano groove."

Another reinvention by MA
12 March, 2010
Massive Attack have reinvented themselves once again with Heligoland, to create a much warmer, keyboard-driven sound. The wealth of guest vocalists adds to the sense that the band is developing, and although the album slips away a little toward the end it is well worth a listen.

A Change From The Norm
9 March, 2010
Quite a bit different than their other stuff but definitly worth buying for the track Girl I Love You. It takes a few listens but it's a grower

Heligoland is an instant hit. It shoves you onto the couch and commands you to just sit and LISTEN. Outstanding.
