Today we have trio of videos from one of my favorite groups from the UK, Massive Attack.
Massive Attack was founded in Bristol in 1988. While you may not have heard of the group themselves, their music has been featured in a number of television shows and movies, including House, Prison Break, The Matrix, and Sliver.
The songs featured here are Teardrop, Angel, and Protection. Teardrop, featured on the album Mezzanine and used in the television show House, features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser, the lead singer for the Scottish pop band the Cocteau Twins. Angel, also from the album Mezzanine, features the vocals of roots reggae artist and songwriter Horace Andy. You might find this song familiar as it was featured in a wide variety of television episodes and movies, including The Matrix, Firewall, The West Wing, and Third Watch. Protection from the album Protection showcases the vocals of Tracey Thorn, best known as part of the duo Everything But the Girl.
Haha, I liked the “House” intro video better for Teardrop.
