Massive Attack - Protection - CD
Protection is the second album of the collective trip hop of the Bristol Massive Attack.
Protection was in the top ten of the Coolest Albums of All Time magazine Rolling Stone, defined as "a perfect record when you're shooting around a city at 4 in the morning", because of the chillout sounds that it contains. As in many other Massive Attack albums, even in Protection music often escapes a classification by category, ranging from R & B (as in the track that gives the title to the album, and in Sly) to the rap of Karmacoma and Eurochild , going through the synthpop-reggae of Spying Glass, up to instruments that recall the sounds of classical music (Heat Miser, Weather Storm). In this album, in particular, the Massive Attack have made great use of stringed instruments (or synthesizers that reproduce stringed instruments) compared to the other albums, although even in some previous and subsequent passages these instruments have appeared (Unfinished Sympathy, Live With Me).
The femmile voice is by Tracey Thorn.
Paul Evans of Rolling Stone gave the album 4 stars out of 5, and he called it "a cool, sexy job that gently blends dub, club and soul, sinking its roots in the samplings of hip hop".
In the song Karmacoma also sings Tricky, and the video was directed by Jonathan Glazer.
In 1995 DJ Mad Professor remixed the entire album, with the title of No Protection.
