MASSIVE ATTACK / VARIOUS ARTISTS Protected: Massive Samples (2009 UK 12-track promotional CD album which reveals some of the secrets of the Massive Attack motherlode, bringing together for the first time many of the original samples and covers that have contributed vital sonic juice to the band's sound. You'll hear rare groove favorites like Lowrell's 'Mellow Mellow', Reggae gems from John Holt and Lewin Bones Lock, familiar anthems that were given a whole new Bristol twist. We feature tracks that leant the band some spacey atmospherics with Wally Badarou's cavernous electro-dub 'Mambo' and Billy Cobham's majestic cosmic opus, 'Stratus'. And we include some classic breaks [Isaac Hayes' 'Ike's Mood', The Blackbyrds 'Rock Creek Park'] alongside the original of their hit 'Be Thankful' by William De Vaughn.
