Massive Attack beat Portishead to the punch, news of upcoming albums; 3D also revealed to lack netiquette

Link.

christ. all those capitals are a pain to look at. if someone wants to un-caps lock it and tell me what it means and if i'll be remotely interested, give me a shout. not too loud tho.

Of course, I'll be forced to buy it just for the Liz Fraser track.

'massive attack collected' aka the sell out best of will be released in march 07.
is there ever a good time for a best of?
after a plane crash or between diffucult 4th nd 5th albums?
neil and i have thoughtfully written new material for the project [it's kinder description] including a 2 sided single with a bluesy emotive track co -written with terry callier called 'live with me' and a piece called 'clueless blues' or 'false flags'…can't make our minds up-that one featuring myself taking myself way too seriously again.
we are also going to include a second dvd/audio disc with an hour of new/unreleased/rare material-including an unheard track we did with elizabeth back in the mezzanine days.
the dvd will have all the videos to date-including the 'live with me' piece to be directed and shot by jonathan glazer in january and live footage from france from the 100th window tour from 2003 all the new artwork is underway me and tom hingston going heavy metal-shot by nick knight sort of thing.
writing for lp5. currently titled 'weather underground' is going strong with 12-15 tracks in a cool space and rough vocals on about 8/9.
planning to finish it by august next year.

well. that clears it up.

and Portishead? the thought of another MA album does nothing for me but i'd be intrigued to hear about new Portishead material.

The next full length MA will include contributions from Dot Allison, Mos Def, Liz Fraser and Horace Andy...and back from his extended hiatus, Grant Marshall. Del Naja has previously written that it will focus more on funk.
