I hadn't heard them before, but am listening to the song 'Angel' right now. I like this.

I LOVE Massive Attack. I really dig their song "Protection". And there's a few others that I can't think of right now :p Tracy Thorne has such a beautiful voice. You should also check out the band "Everything But The Girl". She fronts that one ;)

How well known are they Stateside? I know Teardrop is the theme song for House, though strangely not when they show it here.

Truthfully, I don't think that they are that well known over here. I was introduced to them back in either '96 or '97. But I mention their name, and people are like "who?".

And I was reading my e-mail a bit more, and it says that Radiohead will be playing with Massive Attack. This is sounding better and better :D

They have a couple of good songs that I listen to but I wouldn't call myself a fan.

I always loved the Protection album from start to finish. Great stuff.

Anybody hear the new release yet? I'm thinking that it's pretty good. Have to actually sit down and listen to it though.

Haven't head much of them but 'Teardrop' is fairly atmospheric. Quite like 'Inertia Creeps' though. Funky song that.

Both are great songs! I still think that my fave is 'Protection' though.
