Blue Lines - Massive Attack
I am reviewing the album Blue Lines by Massive Attack which is an excellent album. I remember in a magazine called mixmag they did a chart of the best dance albums, it was a long time ago but this album was No 1 just beating one of Public Enemy's albums. If you're wondering why it's called Blue Lines it's because the album cover featured a dangerous chemical warning sign which in the one corner says blue lines. When this album came out they called themselves Massive because they thought Massive Attack was inapropriate due to the Falklands that was going on at that time. They are from Bristol & the original line up featured Tricky & Shara Nelson who would go on to have successful solo careers. Tricky was nominated for the Mercury for his first solo album & was one of the favourites to win it. The album is very much club music and was ahead of its time & the best track and probably the best they ever did was Unfinished Sympathy which was also a Top 10 single.
