New Massive Attack album - Heligoland

Re: New Massive Attack album - Heligoland

I guess i'm one of the few who thinks 100th window was their best stuff.

Still today one of the last albums I ever listened to from track 1 to the end.

Actually 100th windows was practically a 3D solo, because Daddy G has not actively taken part in the making of that album and Mushroom split from Massive Attack officially in the autumn of 1999

Listened to this a couple of times yesterday, and for me there's only 1 track that comes anywhere close to what they've achieved in the past; 'Paradise Circus'. Absolutely stunning, and probably worth buying the album for alone.

In my opinion, the rest of the album is pretty so-so. 'Flat of the Blade' is also a killer track, but the rest doesn't really do it for me.

And what about the last track Atlas Air a.k.a Marrakesh ?!!

Really good album. I was looking forward to this one after the fantastic 100th Window album. I found it to be a completely different album, less dark, but equally great production wise. Highlights would be Splitting the Atom, Paradise Circus (both original and Gui Borattos' mix), Rush Minute, Atlas Air and Unites Snakes (both the track and its name).
