the new massive attack - actually the solo project of Robert del nara with singers Elizabeth Frazer and Sinéad O'Connor - is verissen in time as unimaginative club music. then what must indeed be some truth, I think to myself, hear and feel instantly pure: at this density you have to develop depth and quality only heard by multiple. a consistent increase of blue lines or mezzanine, another genre-forming reinvention is expected by many naively. to expect from artists who have created milestones, to do this with every new album every 2- 3 years again, is an overbearing sense of entitlement rich consumers. no distinction is. one he-waiting. I hear. deep dark color surfaces, tight sound and rhytmusteppiche, new, unpredictable, hard and springy beats, melancholy and tristess and above the spherical agree Elizabeth Frazer and Sinéad c'connor and the ubiquitous magical breathy by Andy and 3D. the beats and lines african times, times elektonisch, sometimes in Arabic, sometimes metallic, but still full of strength and intsensiv that my neighbor once again knocking on the wall. temporarily also pomös and pathetic. but that belongs to the genre. the generous length of each track provides plenty of room for different trends and directions and do well in a time when the tracks on the radio not long his may more than 3 minutes to be played. and there heard this sound, too, with its deep, its reflectivity, its contradictory nature and warm not power down. a traditional and at the same time new Massive Attack album, which shows that it continues. with the world, with the music, with Massive Attack. and fortunately, not always in the way you expect. and here a personal look at the individual tracks: 1 - futureproof simple, electronic sounds, like thrown randomly, symatisch in its simplicity, about an equally elementary guitar line. then overlaid by hard crackling clicks. 3D's voice paints to back one of his mysterious images: borderline cases, reinforced glass, Absent Friends, passport photos, to elastic past, ... and takes us into the uncertain and murky areas of the soul. 2 - What Your Soul Sings Distorted electric guittare from afar. the Turntabel rotates backward. the confused, arouses curiosity. about gesprenkelnde clicks, bouncy, excited. laterally shifting metallswoshs, melodic linine. rhytmuswechsel and Sinéad c'connors voice dominates the scene: Say What yor soul says to you and sounds confusing to Björk. again push, metallic surfaces in the picture, about spherical synth sounds that hold together everything and always looking to make unprecedented wide: You'll find the one you need is you. 4 - Special Cases swinging powerfully rhymisch Bäß, meditative bassline, string pads, about the spherical plaintive, demanding voice of Sinéad O'Connor. a fantastic break with unexpected clocks, omnipresent tension, never repealed. about 7 minutes long and deep. something popig. 5 - butterfly chaught mysterious gentle intro, pierced with 80 e-beats, metallic hard, something simple, such as the 80s. tangled interlaced voices of Andy and 3d, over surfaces from all directions, even electonic times Strings, several somber breaks that do well. dannach several streicherlinine 80 of these e-beats. 6- A Prayer for England Entry with oscillating bassline. the strong clear voice of O'Connor more than just a prayer, a demanding wehklang, supported by massive throbbing basses and beats that underline the demands clarity in all. sometimes a little pathetic. 7 - Small Time Shot Away begins with rhymischen sythie-linine, penetrate the soft springy beats, gently but firmly, about 3D's long-drawn mysterious vocals "my favorit chloroform", partly moody, sometimes lovingly gently, the depression of a addics. almost 8 minutes long intensity. naturally pessimistic. 8 - Name Taken as always this massive sound, bass surfaces at the beats of bearing is difficult to distinguish. incredible, brittle "percussion" over it. surprising harmonic changes, very open and unvorhesebar. the voice of Andy surprisingly bright and feminine: "fade away". the beats are developing ever harder and brighter, echo-like, distorted electric guitar lead the voice continued at the end. 9 - antistarsclothing Arabic sounding harmonies shynti initially, almost classical sounding rhythm guitar over it. again this wonderfully springy beats. dominated by the narcotic vocals 3D's.
