I was really disapointed when I saw them a year ago... But I might try again 

[TJEFFS2000]

Really? Where did you see them?

I thought they were otherworldly at Glasto & pretty good at OnBlackheath

At a festival with an awful crowd. And their live version of Teardrop is unbearable for me.

[MIKL]

They were meant to do Banky's Dismaland but seemed to have cancelled last minute and Leftfield filled in for them instead.

[androidgeoff]

Ohhhh

Medazzaland

[ThePumisher]

And their live version of Teardrop is unbearable for me.

I still can't believe why they never have released Red Lights with Stephanie Dosen on vocals. One of the best songs they've made (the Dosen version, the Topley-Bird version its shit)

Agreed, this sounds awful.

I think this version with Stephanie Dosen sounds great:

[Ben_j]

In a general way, I find the live version of their tracks are far under the album versions. If you compare that to Portishead, whose live rendition is absolutely perfect, it's a bit disapointing...

EDIT : with the notable exception of Inertia Creeps

[MadPooter]

I've only seen Massive Attack once, and I was underwhelmed.

I agree, though, that Inertia Creeps ends up being pretty fantastic live. My only other addition would be Group Four.

[Wolkenkrabber]

Anyone here seen Gaspar Noe's Irreversible? A real head (and stomach) fuck of a film.
Meanwhile here's the new Massive Attack video. The first time in ages that I've felt excited about this band.

[ThePumisher]

I don't like the scene with eye 

Meanwhile, i'm still waiting for a studio version of Red Lights with Stephanie Dosen doing the vocals

[Ben_j]

I don't know if it's the same location as in Irreversible, but it's definitely in a Paris subway station. The ugly tiles can't be mistaken

Also, is that Rosamund Pike ?

[Wolkenkrabber]

I don't know if it's the same location as in Irreversible, but it's definitely in a Paris subway station. The ugly tiles can't be mistaken

Well I was thinking it looked like the subway at Elephant & Castle in London (near Ministry of Sound). The bit that links up the two entrances to the tube station but isn't actually part of the tube station

Also, is that Rosamund Pike ?

Yep

Maybe ! We do have those ugly tiled orange walls too in the subway in Paris so I don't know. It would make more sense to shoot the video in England I guess.

[MadPooter]

Compelling.

Reminds me of Phantasm.

I like both the track as well as the video. I'll have to get this album, looks like.

[Born In Planet Dust]

Where are the freaking US dates???

[ThePumisher]

I like both the track as well as the video. I'll have to get this album, looks like.

It's from the 4-track EP released back in january.
