Add Date: February 9
Artist: Massive Attack
Album: Heligoland
Label: Virgin
Genre: Electronica
Comments: British production duo Massive Attack are back with a pretty fabulous album after 7 years without a release. The record has a slightly more focused sound, but their style is still bass-heavy and moody, with precise electronic manipulations and an interesting use of loops and repetition. The guest-list is impressive: "Pray for Rain", the title track--and one of the best on the album, combining minor-key piano notes with standard, heavy beats--features TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, and other guests include Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), and Guy Garvey (Elbow), among others. The vocals all tend to blend in seamlessly with the production around them, so that no one element overpowers the others, resulting in a layered but far from dense sound. Massive Attack, welcome back--start with tracks 1, 3, 7, and 9.
