one of the best albums of the 90s.
and the most haunting bass sound recorded ever. even Massive attack themselves never came even near to the power they unleashed here...

West Wing. The episode where the president's daughter gets kidnapped. This song totally made the scene.

This is one of those songs I was inspired to buy immediately after hearing it on RP. So badass.

That cover always makes me recall Blue Gender - a truly chilling anime series.

Any tune used in 'Snatch' is at least a 7 with me.

I have been hearing Massive Attack played on RP for the past 4 mornings.  Bring it on.  Time to move MA up on the ipod playlist.

This is a little different from the one I first heard on "La Femme Nikita," when Roy Dupuis (Michael) and his real-life girlfriend Celine Bonniere were slow-dancing... It was so powerful - that thrumming bass and lazy drumbeat... Wow.  I just love Massive Attack... {#Music}

They've also got a 'best of' double-disc called Collected which at a glance seems to have about every song that ever backed a commercial or opened or closed a television show.  :D

 
Thanks.  The more I listen to MA, the less it grows on me and the more indifferent I feel.  Not good. Not bad either.  Just kinda meh.

I used to do fast climbing with that music - Going closer to the Angel, never close enough though.
Je suis d'accord avec le commentaire precedent de grandkrok :)

According to google translate:

He means the Guy Ritchie film "Snatch" in which this song was used for great effect.

  _Great_ song (I'm firmly in the 9 camp).  The album is a little hit or miss for me though.  RP plays my 3 favorite cuts.

The closing music to the television drama House is by Massive Attack.  Makes me think of Richard Barbieri's solo material.

Where does one start with Massive Attack?  What's the first CD?

This album belongs up there with The Beatles 'St. Peppers' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' - Godlike!

A genuine classic - the high water mark for electronica/trip-hop and enormously influential. If you purchase nothing else by Massive Attack except this album, you're doing all right. Plus, one could devise a pretty satisfying drinking game around the use of tracks from Mezzanine as background or highlight in other media.

Enjoy!
