7. Massive Attack - HeligolandYup, the latest offering of the legendary trip-hop duo Massive Attack. And yup, I dig it more than
Mezzanine, which is consider by many their best work. What can I say, I just love with this album on many levels. The production is great, the music is awesome and the moods on there makes it for an incredible listening experience. On this LP there's a range of guest vocalists whose performances really add to the colorful palette
Heligoland have to offer. The music is rich, often laid-back and always fitting, as there's no bad song on it at all. There's just this atmosphere going on that makes me like it so much... it's hard to pinpoint, and it took several listens for me to really "get" the album. A favorite song? Well, maybe the closer, "Atlas Air"; I can't help but fall in love with the soothing, trance-like voice of Del Naja, mixed with the lead synth line and the electronic beats. All in all, awesome album!
