Heligoland is a masterpiece.

If you don't agree go & listen to it until you do. It's fucking brilliant.

Especially Atlas Air. A truly brutal sing about a truly brutal subject.

I think I will have to go back and check it out. It didn't do much for me last time I listened. In the meantime, here's Mark Lanegan in Twilight Singers mode doing a lovely, sleazy cover of "Live With Me":

Ok, I'm going to be honest... Side one is merely brilliant, it's side 2 that is utterly incredible.

There are dozens & dozens of recording artists who wish they were half as good as del naja & co...

Still a masterpiece.

Indeed. Unfinished Sympathy in particular still gives me the chills. Wonderful band.

Also

Hymn of the Big Wheel
Paradise Circus
Atlas Air

One of my Top 5 gigs was them on the Sydney Opera House stairs back in 2010. But one of my fondest memories is walking into my parents house with my mates for a weekend away and my 70+ year old dad has Karamcoma at about 11 on his stereo. They're one of his favourite bands.

Unfinished Sympathy was the tune I walked into my wedding to.  Not the reception, the actual service.

It had a special meaning to us, still does and always will but agreed they've done plenty of equally good stuff.

That’s cool!  ... and hats off to the organ player 😁

I've just made a Massive Attack compilation CD for my car, and I forgot to put that one in.  :butt *Shakes Head*

Been listening to them a lot in the last week seeing the talk of it being 30 years since Blue Lines. Absolutely brilliant. Don't really have anything constructive to add ;D
