Massive Attack / Mad Professor
February 17, 1995
Mad Professor returned Massive Attack to their experimental, cut-and-paste dub reggae and hip-hop roots by gutting the songs -- twisting and reassembling the vocal tracks, giving the songs deeper, fuller grooves and an eerily seductive atmosphere. In other words, he made Protection into a more daring and fulfilling album with his remixes.
February 8, 1994
Perhaps the band's grandest statement, this album's inventive and maximal sonic production matches the drama and poignancy of its narrative concept. It's based on a news report about a young girl found wandering the Severn Bridge with no idea of her identity or how she arrived there. The band employed ambient and field recorded sound along with their own lavish instrumentation and offered two distinctly different endings.
