Massive Attack video for Unleashed on Apple

[The Postmaster General]

Short, but sweet. Almost a bit close to the Matrix fight song, but I have faith.

Massive Attack are assholes, I see them on interviews and they start insulting the interviewer if they don't ask them any questions that are considered good to them. I never liked their music anyways, and this one is also bad.

Most interviewers are dumber than a bag full of lobotomised monkeys and deserve all they get.

Massive Attack lost me a bit with the frankly mediocre 100th Window but prior to that they put nary a foot wrong musically and were highly influential. Haven't heard any of the Unleashed soundtrack. I'll pass comment when I do.

Nothing special, but not bad.

It was still rude though. It's their job to go on and do the interviews, so be professional about it.

Watching the video gets me major stoked for this movie. The friggin bit looks amazing. Like I said initally though, the song sounds a bit too close to the Matrix fight song. Jet Li and Bob Hoskins kicks ass though.

The only thing I've ever heard from them is off Mezzazine, which I'd consider one of the best albums of the 90s. Also have heard some collaborative work, but nothing other than that album. I've always considered it to be a master piece and was never really interested in other stuff from them. Is that the only album to own, Psycho?

No. Blue Lines and Protection are both fantastic. Mezzanine is a lot darker than either of these two albums.

Looks great. Massive Attack is good enough, but the trailers also say the movie features music from The RZA.. :cool: Bubba, Mezzanine is one of my favorite albums, but they have other brilliant ones. Check out these songs:

From Protection -- Eurochild, Protection, Heat Miser, Three.
From Blue Lines -- Daydreaming, Unfinished Sympathy, Karma Coma, One Love and Safe From Harm.

Karma Coma,


Oh that's a great song.

Bubba writes down "Blue lines"

I'm not as familiar with earlier Massive Attack stuff, but I really like their scoring for Danny the Dog/Unleashed. They have some great pumped up tracks like One Thought at a Time, I Am Home, Atta Boy (in that video), and a surprising amount of more emotional/softer cues (Everything About You is New, The Academy - if u've seen the first french trailer, this is the simple but beautiful piano song in the latter half of the trailer, Sam, Two Rocks and a Cup of Water) and some great sort of trippy, relaxed music (Polaroid Girl and my favorite, the title track - Danny the Dog - awesome)

I think the majority of the scoring is surprisingly the softer, more emotional cues that resemble normal film scoring a bit more, but it's all fantastic. It also makes sense from what I've heard about the movie (that it's heavily focused on drama with some action sequences in it).

I'm a huge Jet Li fan and I'm glad to say that the soundtrack definitely doesn't disappoint...now I hope the movie doesn't either.
