Protection/No Protection

Search: Heat Miser
by: Massive Attack

Release Date October 15, 2001
Protection was never really gonna compete with its predecessor (Blue Lines) and for most, its a case of, "oh, not another remix album". but they truly are good. When you can still pick out the blistering beats and power packed emotion of the tunes, and still find them nothing short of amazing, you realise Massive have created a legendary album, again!

No Protection

Search: Heat Miser
by: Massive Attack, Mad Professor

Release Date February 20, 1995
As with all music its a very strong matter of personal taste, if you like massive attack you won't neccesarily enjoy this. I love it, but it took me a year before I actually enjoyed it and now is one of my most played album. Great for zoning out and getting lost...

Protection [MINIDISC]

Search: Heat Miser
by: Massive Attack

Release Date June 04, 2001
I remember well the period of the early nineties - and the sounds that were in my life then. Much of my leisure time was spent clubbing: fast-paced, loud, excitable and generally full-on. It was a good time and the music I heard when I was out was fantastic. But I often felt some "humanity" was missing. During those 'down times' I'd drop Protection onto my record player and slide back into a feeling of warmth, honesty and embracing lyrics. "Lyrics!" I thought, that's what's was missing! What was the point otherwise? It was simply music only of the 'thrill factor'. Of course I listened to other classics that my collection contained, but this was the sound at the time. And Massive Attack had seemed to tap into the zeitgeist.

Protection [VINYL]

Search: Heat Miser
by: Massive Attack

Release Date September 15, 1994
Massive Attack's sophomore effort could never be as stunning as Blue Lines, and a slight drop in production and songwriting quality made the comparisons easy. Still, from the first two songs Protection sounds worthy of their debut. The opening title track is pure excellence, with melancholy keyboards, throbbing acid lines, and fragmented beats perfectly complementing the transcendent vocals of Tracey Thorn (an inspired choice to replace the departed Shara Nelson as their muse). Tricky, another soon-to-be-solo performer, makes his breakout on this record, with blunted performances on "Karmacoma," another highlight, as well as "Eurochild." But even though the production is just as intriguing as on Blue Lines, there's a bit lacking here - Massive ... Read More:
