This loose UK collective, formed by rapper 3D (b. Robert Del Naja), Daddy G (b. Grant Marshall) and Mushroom (b. Andrew Vowles, Knowle West, Bristol, England), emerged from Bristol's experimental music scene. Their 1991 debut album ‘Blue Lines’ boasted three hit singles; "Daydreaming", "Unfinished Sympathy" (which featured an orchestral score) and "Safe From Harm". The blend of rap, deep reggae and soul was provocative and rich in texture, and featured singing from Neneh Cherry and Shara Nelson. The album was considered an outstanding achievement, and the single "Unfinished Sympathy" was ranked by Melody Maker magazine as the best single of 1991.Massive attack who was singled out as dance music’s new sophisticates came back in 1994 with their second album, ‘Protection’. ‘Protection’ included featured singers such Tricky, Nigerian-born Nicolette, Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn and Horace Andy (who had also contributed to the debut). Critics considered that this second album failed to recapture the magic of blue lines.Finally in 1998 came the downbeat grooves of Mezzanine, which was released to widespread critical acclaim, and also became their first UK chart-topper. Even though members of Massive Attack have since then been separate ways, ‘100th Window’ was released in 2003. The members of Massive Attack collaborated on this new album but they were all present together for select live dates only.
