massive attack‘s latest collected is a best of album…
but if you get the special edition you get an extra disc – play it one way up and it is another album; play it the other way up and it is a dvd with all the massive attack videos. it is brilliantly packaged as you’d expect.
i made angel worship trick 18 in the first series. it is still one of my favourite music videos. there are a few others that are well worth checking out on here. the latest two i hadn’t seen – one follows an alcoholic and is very sad, and the other focuses for 5 minutes on someone throwing a petrol bomb – are both compelling in their own way.
looking forward to seeing them at hyde park in june…

I picked up a copy the other day…I like the last video on the DVD, but I’ll watch ANGEL again…
ive had the cd/dvd for the last 2 weeks… its on constant play here at the moment.
Listened on their site and it’s soooo GOOD! Thanx for thye heads up, Jonny. Adele
i thought the DVD had the video for special cases on, unfortunately it does not. The video for Special Cases makes a fantastic worship trick for good friday with the narrative of Jesus’ crucifixion being read ontop of it an dthen Jesus dying just as teh flower explodes…see here: http://benedson.blogs.com/benedson/2006/03/massive_attack_.html
The Live With Me video is sad, but in the end it might be about grace and redemption. Ask yourself, who’s singing here? And wonder about the fox.
