    Say what you want but these guys have been playing music since the 80s (Wild Bunch) and to this day they still push the envelope because they always bring something new to the table. You can argue all you want about the direction they took now and then but not many people in the industry have been moving forward the way they did. They never wanted to please the long time fans, they fell out with a lot of people, they stood up against the Iraq war but they never compromised regardless of brand image or fan base. They put Bristol on the map and they still stand tall to this day. Their back catalogue is huge and diverse which truly reflects how ahead they’ve always been. Their tracks with Sandoval or Fraser or Thorn are out of this world…

    LP6 CONFIRMED. TITLE: "YOU KNOW"
    Featuring Thom Yorke on vocals :D
    Jokes apart, thank you very much for this great insight on a band that speaks rarely abou thei works.
    ps. But the Thom Yorke call on vocals on a Massive track is not a joke at all :D They collaborated with almost everyone...only Thom is missing :D

    Keep in mind Robert Del Naja 3d Never finished high school, but how that man so brilliant and the way he thinks, He is a great example of typical Aquarius.. We don't need much education to educate we are born highly intelligent/genius and cool.. The god should have make more aquarius the world be wonderful today Tricky also aquarius.. but Grant Marshal here is Sagittrarius their chemistry with him.. show why Aquarius and Sag union always great,. cause we both wants to create great things and do great for mankind

      Do you know them personally?
      Yes, Del Naja looks like a pretentious man however if we will look at mushroom's activity and his music we see that the projects in which he was involved are really tosh. And as for Neil Davidge so he said that they don't want repeat themself and the band won't create something similar to Mezzanine
