Description:

Massive Attack: Mushroom, 3-D, Daddy G.
Additional personnel includes: Tricky, Horace Andy, Shara Nelson (vocals); Paul Johnson (bass).
One of the 90s` early classics and a landmark album in dance music, Bristol`s Massive Attack invented the `trip-hop` genre, an ambient form of hip-hop. Born from the ashes of pioneering sound system unit the Wild Bunch, the core trio of Daddy-G, Mushroom and 3-D were joined on Blue Lines by soul diva Shara Nelson, reggae singer Horace Andy and a young Tricky. Together they fashioned a strikingly modern urban soundtrack that added an emotional intensity to the sparseness and studied cool of hip-hop, with Nelson`s impassioned vocals on `Unfinished Sympathy` helping to create one of the songs that defined the 90s.
