776. Massive Attack - Protection

Release Date: 1994
Label: Virgin

The best thing about this albums were the vocal contributions from Tracey Thorn. Unfortunately they are few and far between, and if you own their debut you've really no need for much else.

Rating: 6/10

704. Massive Attack - Blue Lines

Release Date: 1991
Label: Virgin

It's interesting how specific cities become synomonous for creating their own musical identities. At the same time grunge and Seattle was reaching peak commercial success, Trip-Hop was starting to come out of Bristol. This, along with Portishead's 'Dummy' and Tricky's 'Maxinquaye' are all essential purchases if you're even vaguely interested in tripping or hopping.

Rating: 9/10
