Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom EP cover
RA Review
Robert "3D" Del Naja did a fine job of manning Massive Attack on his own. Sure, 100th Window was a tad austere and not quite on par with previous albums—but could you imagine trying to follow up Mezzanine solo? Besides, now that 3D and Daddy G are reunited in the studio again, you can quickly te..

Title track's good - as is the collab with Martina. The rest is a bit smelly to be frank.

title track is fantastic - heard it live in moscow last week and thought it was some kind of tom waits or nick cave song, very stylish and addictive :) the rest is listening to now - will tell later :)

i find the rest as very quality as well. i believe it's innovative and very rich musically - looks like indeed the future classics of trip hop and electronic music overall. the review is spot-on. look forward to the LP!!

hmmm... well all my friends who were with me liked the performance a lot as well. the crowd was calling them three times for 'bonus tracks' - and as far as i observed everybody were really enjoying. pragmatically the sound was great, they were playing a lot of all-time-favourite stuff along with new tracks and the quality of everything including the video was really great. the event was 5/5 to me - the only problem (but maybe an advantage as well) was no bar near the dancefloor - but this was done like a formal concert in moscow - so no surprise here. the also didn't play man next door - the one i was really waiting for - but that's minor too. otherwise liked it a lot

Looking forward to the new album, these tracks are really good, especially Pray FOr Rain and Psyche.

that artwork reminds me of the cover of unkle's last terrible album...

^ Yeah, 3D used to do Mo'Wax cover art - Headz anyway - as well as a lot of the Massive stuff so could be him.

Grim times. Grim subjects. Some thinking needed.
Me like these preview particles!

But wait! This humble vinyl offering is "limited to 1,000 copies WORLDWIDE and features unique BRONZE-FOILED cover artwork from Robert del Naja... HAND-NUMBERED [it] is the only PHYSICAL release of Massive Attack's stunning new EP". Each copy also has one of Daddy G's PUBES selotaped to its rear. £20 is a bargain and we should be GRATEFUL.
