      It’s actually under the sub genre of TripHop. An alternative European version of HipHop.

      I love how it reverberates in the room. I always wanted to play the Cello. I believe it to be a divine instrument. It has a resonance similar to the sound of God. Similar to an Om, or Gregorian chants. I'm glad someone else appreciates the separate pieces of the puzzle. Sorry to be a spazz lol

    Definitely one of my top songs and most favorite of all time from any genre. It is creepy, dark, moody, disturbing, eerie, depressing, sad, beautiful, but very danceable and uplifting at the same time. This video is pure magic! In fact, the whole album is a masterpiece! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

    3D on the violin in Butterfly Caught - “What I like about the violin in Butterfly Caught is that it is so non-definable; it sounds both oriental and western at the same time, as though it originated in Istanbul, when the Bosporus was still the limit between East and West.” [Humo Magazine - March 2003]

    Light from pages
    Paper thin thing
    Protected by the naked eye
    Pearly sunrise
    Nearly worn
    Kneeling like a supplicant

      100th window never come close to the sound of Mezzanine. It's a dope album too but doesn't sound to any massive attack album released.
      It's basically a robert del naja solo project with Neil davidge. Mushroom and Daddy G left the group , the backbone of the tracks was played and deconstructed with the help of the group Lupin howl.

    I love the use of symbolism in this music video. It's absolutely beautiful! And the lyrics--they don't seem to make sense...at first. But when you analyze the music video and the lyrics together, you'll find the name of the song and the moth in the music video are not mistakes--but symbols. I think this song is about a loss of innocence and emptiness. It is truly a work of art.

    Perfection.
    Love this song . And the video .
    Perfect combination of darkness , blended into the electronica Wibe . And the violins are beond awe …
    I can listen to this for hours …
    I love the darkness & the comfort (and the discomfort ) it gives me in a soothing way. Brilliant work

    I discovered Neil Davidge through Halo 4 and discovered Massive Attack in turn. His work on the Halo 4 soundtrack draws so much inspiration from his work with Massive Attack.

    Hell, this is one omnipotent song. You can wake up to it, work out, drive, meditate, trip out, have sex and sleep to it... Not that I tried that all, but hey, there's time.
