Massive Attack – Heligoland album sampler

With less than a month to go until Massive Attack’s 5th album proper hits the shelves, this 4 track sampler has arrived to wet everyone’s appetite.

Their last album “100th Window” came in for a bit of stick from the critics but for me it had some amazing moments (mainly “What Your Soul Sings”). Feb 8th 2010 will see the release of “Heligoland” and these 4 tracks alongside last year’s “Splitting The Atom” EP show that, incase there were any doubters, they’re back with some of their best material since debut album “Blue Lines”.

“Atlas Air” is the stand out track for me – vintage Massive Attack with haunting vocals, crisp beats and a brilliant organ line that you’ll find yourself humming for weeks.
