You're not my eater, I'm not your food
Love you for God, love you for the Mother
Eat me in the space within my heart
Love you for God, love you for the Mother

Mother fountain or live or not at all

The most level, sunken chapel
Love you for God, love you for the Mother

All's there to love, only love

God bless the 1990’s trip-hop music such as this. Perhaps the soundtrack for the 2090’s space exploration… and the “oldies” sounding better than the “new stuff!”

Impeccable - tracks 8, 9 and 10 on this album are astounding.

Massive Attack always transports me to another world. With the addition of Elizabeth Fraser's voice, this album will always be one of my all-time favorites.

Saw MA back in summer of 2019 in San Francisco for the 21st anniversary of the release of this album— actually took my 20 -year old son. I was a bit concerned that the show would be faux musicians — chained to a merciless dub track that would surely suck the life out of the “live” part of the show. The show was incredible. No dub track, real, live musicians, an extremely well tuned sound, and thematic visuals that clearly learned the art of the musical visual story from Pink Floyd. After a couple of days reflection, my son and I both amazingly agreed that it was the best show either of us has seen.

It's Manfred Mann's Earth Band (which is not "real early" in terms of his career) - I'm pretty sure the sample is from "Tribute".  Manfred Mann (the person) is credited on this album.

It also works very well in a train, looking out. Especially when you start with Angel while the train leaves the station.

I agree 100%. This cd was in my player and I listened to it before bed every night for about 2 months straight. It helped me through a very tough time in my life & I love it still to this day.

What makes us accept harsh, generalized criticisms from those we love? What complete bullshit. I'm separated from my wife for this very reason. I'm no longer going to accept any random element of my personality being criticized. Don't like my taste in shirts? Deal with it. Your opinion of me is none of my business. If you can't stop yourself, then I'll be moving on...

as for the previous Bjork's track.... I think at mezzanine as the greatest M.A. album without doubts at all... mmm... this made me think that maybe the 1998 was the real last good year for the "trip-hop" movement....
