i was quite into 100th window at the time, i must have said that already. it was so oppressive. i remember listening to it on earplugs walking in the dark in the fields in the winter of 2003. for me it really captured the gloomy atmosphere when bush was just about to invade iraq.

He came onstage with them last week and sang it pretty much perfectly.

Live With Me is very good as well. The videos for Live with Me and Paradise Circus show how utterly dour they can be though. It's like, how high are the stakes in your 5 minute weird-pop song that you had so make a video so gratuitously depressing?

Yeah, this song isn't as good as either Live With Me or Paradise Circus on top of that. They put another new one with Topley-Bird on their vivo today sans video which is better.

This one sounds like Bows and classic MA so it's great.

Oh I thought it was Martina on Spoils!

I might be alone in here but listening to the EP today again and the new songs and I think this might actually be the best they've sounded since Mezzanine. It has the same sort of creepy yet sexy vibe.

I wasn't 100% on board with 100th window or heligoland tho but I like the I dont know how to descibe it 'tar pitch' sounds they're doing nowadays.

A late-night drunken playing of "Spoils" has prompted a replaying of "recent" Massive Attack (by which I mean post-"Mezzanine"). Have enjoyed both "100th Window" and "Heligoland" more than I did at the time.
Has anyone really been paying circa £20 for the current singles?

people just stream and download stuff now, right?

time will vindicate my instant love/appreciation of post-Mezzanine Massive Attack

Heligoland didn't strike me at first but turned out to be their best after Mezzanine

Do we know when an album will be released, yet?
Almost tempted to spend £0.99 on The Spoils.
