I listened to a bunch of trip hop and DNB back in the day, but somehow didn’t get into Massive Attack until I got Spotify. Absolutely love a bunch of their work but Protection and Better Things are tops.
For some reason, I completely missed this genre when it was new. I knew and liked the main tracks that made their way into film and other media, I knew there was a genre called “trip-hop”, but I never put it together or dove into it any further. That was until a few years ago when it clicked and I listen to it all the time now. It bums me out that I missed out on being a part of it while it was new and current, but I have enjoyed/do enjoy getting to know the genre better and finding new-to-me albums and artists and connecting with the still thriving community
I thought I was going to be a filmmaker when I was 18, and this was regularly playing on my car. Teardrop and Angel were my inspiration and I was bound and determined to produce something with those tracks.
The singer is Jamaican reggae legend Horace Andy. He does some great stuff with Massive Attack. My favorite is [Girl I Love You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBu3jjYMXxs&list=RDlBu3jjYMXxs&start_radio=1)
I’ll never forget the day I learned my favorite make-out album was actually Banksy.

I remember when I first heard this playing in my coffee shop/hangout spot. Had to ask what it was so I could go buy the album. Still obsessed to this day. That coffee shop played the best music.
