Amazing! I'm from Bristol where they come from. The artistic talent that ooozes from Bristol is insane ! I've wanted you to react to the UK Rave scene videos around for ages too ! Jungle is Massive ! Bristol is an incredible city, rebellious, artistic and right on the doorstep of the most beautiful counties in England. Bristol is also where Banksy comes from. PS a lot of people believe Banksy is 3D from Massive Attack also. PPS an artist called "Ren" did a new take on the Verve track/video and its really good. So much so he got a guitar from one of the Verve when they saw it. He's also an absolute GOLD mine for reaction videos and tonnes of the react community have gotten behind him in the last year or so (Ren).
@@Rachel_M_ Yeah there's a few on here that i'd love to see some American takes on. The Summer Of Rave 1989 (Full Documentary HQ) on channel "robotsistrom" is a good one although old quality. What Makes Something Jungle? | Resident Advisor is also a good one for reactors as its not too long. Drum & Bass: The Movement - A D&B Documentary on the channel "Drum&BassArena" Dj mag have also been releasing short documentary's about some of the club classics like Brown Paper Bag, Goldie's Inner City Life and many more.... they're pretty decent also.
The production quality of Massive Attack is off the charts. Compared to everyone else, their production and sound design is just another level. They can take a relatively simple drum beat - but it's so crisp, so balanced, so characterful in itself. Then the ambient sounds fade in and out so deliciously on top. They're masters of production. Take a listen to the song "Protection" with your eyes closed, and realise that they are constantly varying the mix. Elements are being faded in and out, becoming softer or becoming louder, and the mix is perpetually changing as you listen. Constantly morphing. But it's all so delicate and slow and ambient with it. Oh. It's such production genius. And everything they do sounds so cinematic. All their songs sound like they should be the soundtrack to some epic movie. If you're into music production - which I know you are - then listening to Massive Attack albums with headphones on and the lights out is a masterclass.
Protection is my favourite massive attack song, the singer on that is Tracy Thorn from Everything but the girl. There's also a dub version of it by mad professor, called 'No protection' and considering how calm the original is, it's suprising how he's made it sound like the soundtrack to a psychotic breakdown, it's fucking intense.
Just checked and the original album is actually called 'Protection', the dub version of the album is called 'No protection' and the dub version of protection is called 'Radiation ruling the nation (protection)'
I love Bristol. It's like if you took away all the tourist bollox from london and the griminess of Birmingham, but kept the amazing architecture of both along with amazing street art all over the place, as well as an electrified art scene in general added to a population who are just plain nice and _then_ give it an amazing nightlife too. One of my fave places in the uk.
Yup, that's "Teardrop" he mentioned at the beginning. I was doing my 1st MDMA (Mitzi's) when I heard "Teardrop" for the first time & fell in love with Elizabeth Fraser's gentle, deeply personal voice on the spot. That intro of rimshots still stops me in my tracks. A moving & stunningly beautiful track that hasn't aged a day!
Blue Lines is one of the best album in UK history and Massive Attack one of the best acts. Changed the musical direction of this rock-kid back in the day at least. Just consistent geniuses.
A lot of emphasis was put on Madchester at the time but there was a huge influential music scene that also appeared at the same time in Massive attacks home city of Bristol. Bands and soloists like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Smith & Mighty, Up, Bustle and Out, Nellee Hooper, P.J. Harvey and Roni Size. That's without even mentioning all the rave DJs that Bristol produced at the same time. For a period of 10 years Bristol was the capital of Trip-Hop music.
If you like one takes, you might want to watch a British artist called REN. He has taken bitter sweet symphony, but put his own words to it. REN is the best thing to come out of Briton for years and is worth a watch. If you decide to listen to my advice REN has done the verve one take and another live version with strings. On this video it talks about fat boy slims right here right now and REN put his own words to that as well. Going back to bitter sweet symphony, when the verve guitarist heard RENs version he gave him the guitar used on the track. Check him out.
So you know that Neneh Cherry's brother is Eagle-Eye Cherry. More impressive (to my mind) is that her father was the legendary trumpeteer Don Cherry, who played with, amongst others, Ornette Coleman, John Coletrane and Albert Ayler.
@@nessiferum6200 I don't know where you watched it, but when I saw it on TV here in the UK, it wasn't Teardrop. Wikipedia says this : "Because of rights issues, broadcasts in many European countries changed the first season opening to an original piece of music by Scott Donaldson and Richard Nolan. From the second season onward, a new intro composed by Jason Derlatka and Jon Ehrlich was used instead. These changes were later maintained for use on syndicated streaming platforms."
It's a bit of an open secret among those in the UK music scene of the 90's and 00's (and interestingly also in Bergen, Norway,) that Robert "3D" Del Naja is the guerilla artist known as Banksy. In the early days of Banksy's artwork, new murals would often pop up in cities and towns where Massive Attack had just played.
Thank you JJ for your interest in some amazing British music artists, it's great to hear your take on things and trash theory put out good content on these subjects. trip hop pioneers great albums. this song takes me back to a couple of the best summers of my life it became a bit of a soundtrack to 91-92 for me.
got to be honest JJ I'm loveing your recent reactions to Trash Theory, Also the map you looked of Bristol only showed the 'old' stuff, its a major hub of modern culture.
Church. Fountain. Bridge. Church. Architecture. Ooooh, Art. Colourful Houses. Tower thing. Is actually quite a good summary of Bristol - at least physically. It's a very cool city, glad to have grown up there in the 90s. Sad to have left, but I take a little bit of Brizzle's rebellious heart everywhere I go.
Hi JJ.. I did suggest(on a Buy Me A Coffee message) you check out Aurora's version of Massive Attack's "Teardrop". (a live acoustic version on Triple J's 'Like a Version'). Love the original also obvs and "Unfinished Sympathy"... happy happy joy joy
There are a lot of songs that have strings in them, sometimes you don't notice them at first, a good example is "it must be love" by madness, there is a building string crescendo towards the end that I didn't notice for years. If you want to see a good rendition of bitter sweet symphony, there is a 1000 musicians video on TH-cam, where literally 1000 people play it on strings. It's goosebumps good! 👌
Another interesting reaction to a fascinating musical deep dive. I'm always pleased when you offer your own music production insights and anecdotes, too.
Neneh Cherry's got a memoir out which I really should read, but she did a lot of interesting stuff before she ever got to "Raw Like Sushi". She made three albums with Rip, Rig + Panic and stuff with Adrian Sherwood... and even Buffalo Stance itself has interesting origins, her husband-to-be was in a duo who somehow ended up being produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, so they did a very poppy single called "Looking Good Diving" and then got the Wild Bunch to do a different, more "raw" remix for the B side, with Neneh rapping, and that remix, "Looking Good Diving With The Wild Bunch", was essentially the first version of "Buffalo Stance".
The "...tower... thing?" is a camera obscura and is open to the public. The "Clock tower.. church?" is Temple Meads railway station, courtesy of Isombard Kingdom Brunel.
Bristol was a hotbed of talent, so much great stuff coming out - Tricky, for my money is well worth a further look, done some stunning work over the years and did some work, a video maybe with Tool.
Likely already mentioned. 1) Teardrop was the theme tune to the American TV show 'House' (AKA House MD); but not in the UK, we got a rather poor approximation as they couldn't afford to license the song for broadcast here; so had to write their own version (the beats of the song match with the imagery on the opening credits, so the House UK theme tune had to match the tempo) 2) Rob 3D is rumored to be Banksy. The rapper Goldie accidentally referred to Banksy as 'Rob' on a live radio broadcast, implying that he knew Banksy actual name; and he is friends with Rob 3D; and both he and Banksy are from Bristol. Its unlikely to be true. Rob 3D was a graffiti artists in Bristol; and Goldie in his home town of Walsal, they even appeared in a documentary together in the late 80's, but Rob 3D had a different tag (Pretty sure it was 3D). Most likely both Rob and Goldie know who Banksy is having both been pioneers in the scene. Most likely the name Rob is short for Robin, rather than Robert (as in the case of Rob 3D) and the tag comes from 'Robbing Banks'
I saw Massice Attack supporting Radiohead in Dublin in ‘97…. Truly epic! My favourite album by them in Mezzanine… and I’m going to listen to it right now because I haven’t heard it in years!
Blue Lines is a seminal album. Think I first heard Unfinished Sympathy in 1990 and loved it from the get go. Another favourite was "Lately". Simply fantastic. A few years later I discovered Mezzanine. Another classic that got played a lot in my house. The track from that album "Dissolved Girl" featured in The Matrix. I remember liking Nenah Cherry when I was at school, particularly "Manchild". Probably why Massive Attack resonated with me. On the last track on Blue Lines "Hymn of the Big Wheel" you can hear Nenah's vocals in the mix.
3D from Massive Attack is Banksy! And Tricky lives just down the road from me in Berlin. Kid you not. Anyway. JJ. You need educating on that Bristol, and Brighton sound. Trip Hop and BigBeat 😮 Amazing
This makes me a little bit emotional, because eventhough I was young I remember all of this, my brother would blare out music from his stereo all the time, music like this, and it's just such great memories of amazing songs. It's really bittersweet.
I can’t believe that you had never heard of Unfinished Sympathy 😮 … but then again this is probably where the US and Europe split in the 90s… and I was a trip-hop, Jungle and break-beat fanatic in the 90s 😂
Useless factoid. Electric Six were originally called "The Wild Bunch " and even released an album under that name but had to change their name due to pressure from the Bristol music collective. I doubt many would mix the two up though. 😄
Massives's Robert Del Naja is banksy. The evidence is overwhelming, one of which is that banksy artworks have appearing in places around the world the same week massive attack where there, on numerous ocassions, not just once.
Robert del Naja is Banksy, or at least i think he is. Banksy comes from Bristol, and del Naja was/is a graffiti artist...the cover of Protection (their second album) looks very Banksy-esque.
We know he's called Rob/Robert (Goldie slipped up and called him that in an interview). And he's from Bristol. There was also Banksy art that seemed to follow wherever Massive Attack were on tour. Del Naja was in the Banksy documentary. At the very least Banksy is in the Massive Attack inner circle. In a way I like the mystery though.
Listen to a British band who go by the name, M People. They were a band from Manchester. The lead singer, Heather Small has an amazing voice, I would say that it’s on the same par or to go as far in saying that she is better than Shara Nelson, of Massive Attack.
Paul Oakenfold - huge name over here - he had some utility in the late 80s and 90s as a DJ and music importer. However, he's not actually very good and that's why he backseat produces so much stuff or "promotes" other people's work under "Paul Oakenfold presents" and the likes. He's a tatty and I don't care who incorrectly thinks I'm wrong ;) 🤪😜
Surely its not problematic to say or think that its a good thing that artists have every right to choose not to work for peddlars of death and the profiteers of violence & its pretty cool to try to stop the arms trade and the targetted killing of civilians.... innit?!

An anthem of a generation❤.
Blue Lines is one of the best album in UK history and Massive Attack one of the best acts. Changed the musical direction of this rock-kid back in the day at least. Just consistent geniuses.
You should check out Portishead live at the Roseland N.Y. - incredible with a live orchestra.

I'd forgotten about DJ Shadow, until his name was mentioned. Worth a listen John.
The singer on Unfinished Sympathy, both on the record and in the video, was Shara Nelson. Awesome voice.
Loved this band . Fall asleep music .
