No protection

Description

Vinyl reissue: In the early nineties, while the trend was for pure and hard techno, Massive Attack took the opportunity to deeply renovate English pop and soul with their legendary debut album: Blue Lines. Aware of the decisive contribution of vocal collaborations to their music, the Bristol trio invited the voices of Tracy Thorn (Everything But The Girl), Nicolette, Tricky, and reggae veteran Horace Andy on No Protection. Spending a lot of time experimenting with new ideas on Protection, Massive Attack delivers atmospheric pieces (Weatherstorm) with seductive charms (Karmacoma) and surprising reinterpretations (Light My Fire by The Doors), establishing themselves as the undisputed leader of trip-hop. No Protection is the dub version created by Mad Professor of the album released two years earlier. Playing with the original beats and sounds of the latter, he leaves his mark. Hypnotic basslines and redefined highs float in the most ethereal reverb, and the original tracks then expand into spirals that the Professor masters. The songs are completely renewed, infused with the most distant and unexpected sound effects. Essential for anyone who loves Massive Attack.
