The bass player is amazing. As for Massive Attack, their body of work is nonpareil!

The bass at the end of Mezzanine and Inertia Creeps is sinister. Deborah Miller kills it on Safe From Harm. They're all brilliant.

I was introduced to Massive Attack in the early 90’s. The music carried me through some of the most turbulent and most memorable times of my life. The end of a 10 year relationship and the beginning of a 25 year marriage. Their music touches me. For nearly 30 years they have been my favorite sound. Nothing like them.

Those bass lines ⚟

It's been said before and I'll say it again; this was from a time when MTv was still actually relevant and worth watching. Also, great performance, all completely live in a time when talented bands were still relevant too! Amazing times all gone now, luckily we still have these great recordings to cherish..

In case anyone's wondering about the names of the musicians in the video we have: Guitar: Angelo Bruschini Bass: Winston Blisset Keyboards: Michael Timothy Drums: Andy Gangadeen These were the sames guys they took on tour with them on the Mezzanine tour of 1998-1999.

Safe from harm was perfection.

The best band ever!!! And still in 2019. This band is my other half! Love ya! 💖

What so good about these songs is, that they are even harder to do live and accoustic. And they do manage to do this without losing the beat which makes it even better.

I'll always be coming back to these performances and to one of the best albums OAT. Gold. 👑

A superb half hour of music crowned with the Liz Fraser Teardrop, which remains utterly gorgeous.

Simply mind-blogging! The music created by Massive Attack in the 90s would qualify to be one of the greatest creative effort of all time! I've been addicted to their music for more than 15 years and still completely hooked!!

Iv'e been a meth attic for over fifteen years and still battling. Musicians like these guys and Portishead, Eliiot Smith, Simon Joyner, Sigor Ros, Neva Dinova, Bright Eyes, just to list a few, are the olny things that help keep my tippy toes on the ground while the rest of me is drifting away. Music like this helps me embrace and accept the darkness that is just as much of a part of our daily lives as the light. If it werent for artists like this I would have chosen to leave this world a long time ago, I am so fortunate for there existence, there passion, there wisdom, and there message. I will always keep them close to my broken heart and feed them to my sickened brain on a regular basis.

This whole video is a gem, thank u🖤🖤

As a youth growing up in Bristol, i went to many Wild Bunch house parties. Two decks, passing the mic and da spliffs. Willy Wee, Delge, Grant, Mushroom et all mashing it up til the beast come try shut things down, or the sun come up. I left Bristol to travel, not long after their first 12" (as Massive Attack) had dropped. Daydreaming. It was quite well received, and i guess u could say they were just beginning to gain some real traction in the music biz. But what would I have known, i was only 18.... So I travelled for 6 months or so, before ending up in Australia, where i was hoping to stay a while. One day I walked into the big record store in the middle of Melbourne, and my bloody jaw hit the floor... Hanging from the ceiling were these massive (pardon the pun) 'posters' for Blue Lines. Well i say posters, but they were a bit more than posters. More like floor to ceiling murals. I was like 😲wtf, that escalated quickly!!! Needless to say, a purchase was in order. To this day it's still one of my favorite albums of all time. True story 😆

Actually if I remember correctly, Daydreaming was released by 'Massive', because the Iraq war was just kicking off, and the band felt that Massive Attack was not the right name to use at that time. Can anyone verify this? I could be wrong, as my memory is somewhat under the influence 😉

Although I actually met and talked with Daddy G while he was completely unrecognised in the crowd, checking out the Prodigy's set. Such a gorgeous gentleman.

I would love to see them live but sadly their tour didn't come to Atlanta 😭 At least there's the magic of the internet to provide me with a variety of live MA performances through the years.

Only problem is a high-pitch tone during 4 later songs, only first one doesn't have it. It is not that disturbing during Teardrop because vocals and guitar goes thru that scale, but in Mezanine which is in lower scale it's very noticable :( Is there any possibility for you to clean up this bit? I don't know it is something in register of 9-10kHz.

I downloaded the track from youtube and did spectrum analysis on the quiet parts with the most noise. I thinks its really really bad quantization noise. Its not a single frequency, it's a series of frequency spikes across 600-12K, at abt that freq it drops off. It was probably recorded on an old digital player, or it was processed using an old computer, or it was compressed using shitty software that doesn't anti-alias the track after significantly lowering the sampling rate. Why anyone would lower a sample rate below that of a CD is beyond me... unless the equip used was REALLY old and had no real storage capacity (think megabytes, not gigabytes, ya, that old)... its the digital equivalent of tape hiss. Its not really that bad and I only really noticed it when it was almost silent.

canturgan I may have flubbed on the exact nomenclature but the effect is that it creates the high pitched noise you're hearing. It happens b/c for some reason (again, not a professionally trained engineer) the highest pitch at the end of the lowered freq. range available via the *sampling rate* (

@arande3

7 жыл бұрын

canturgan To give a simple explanation, he's talking about value quantization of the actual digital bits, not the time quantization in midi. The digital bits have a discrete number of values they can occupy and so do not perfectly represent the musical signal, causing quantization noise because instead of representing a perfect tone, there are jagged edges introduced to the waveform which you hear as ringing. PS all digital signals are quantized. It's just that most of the time it's inaudible.
