    Cant wait to get this,just heard their new single and it's very good,one of my fav bands ive got all of their stuff,absolute legends,cant wait to see them @ Electric Picnic in September.:)

    A review taken from Amazon :)
    5 out of 5 stars At last a collection that brings back those heady days......, March 14, 2006
    Reviewer: adrian stephan duggan from Cyprus
    Remember Sunrise, M25 phone stops, when little fellas were real and cost 25 quid? You'd get back home, travel to a distant planet and chill to decent music. This collection although small (its near impossible to put all the quality tunes on one album) brings to the listener nostalgia, combined with a wake up call re: reality of todays rehashed crap.
    Massive attack were pioneers of dub reggea, the Bristol scene and the angst against Reagan,Thatcher,Rascism and the now embedded greed culture. Although after the departure of many of the original members they seemed to loose the way a tad. Movie soundtrack qualities, combined with stunning vocals from a plethora of talent and instrumentals that evoked visulisations beyond believe.
    This collection will proove that you can buy class occasionally (as with this album) and you can't beat genuine originality, which this group have/had in abundance.
    I would recommend a visit to the micro site and a listen to the tracks on the collection and the stunningly evocative live with me track.....massive attack...back with style!

    Yes, she buys about half an off licence, takes it home and drinks all of it! :eek: I actually thought it would have a very tragic ending but it didn't.

    I think there's a bit of confusion here. The "new" album jonny68 is referring to is a Best of album, so I don't really see what the fuss is all about.

    And as for the review on Amazon, it makes no sense to say
    "combined with a wake up call re: reality of todays rehashed crap". only to then wax lyrical about a Greatest Hits album.

    Anyway, they are following the 'Best of' with an album of new material called "Weather Underground".

    Yes it is a greatest hits album but no better band than to release one as they are one of the best in the business :cool:
