Massive Attack is back. After the B-boys of Bristol's debut album, Blue Lines, was released in 1991, Robert Del Naja (left), Grant Marshall(right), and Andrew Vowlcs (known as 3D, Daddy Gee, and Mushroom, respectively) transcended the offbeat club scene they had helped create. Formed in 1990 from the ashes of the Wild Bunch, an influential English dance collective. Massive Attack blends the influences of Scorsese and Rakim with a unique blackboard-jungle style of dub and a revolving list of rock stars and rude boys as vocalists. Their third album, the brooding opus Mezzanine. made them 1998's critical darlings and sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide, introducing the experimental collective to a broader audience. Although the treacherous three arc now down to a dynamic duo Vowles recently quit the act—a fourth album is expected sometime next year. Massive indeed.
