gamer 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 New album is boss. If you like dark, mid tempo, moody electronica, that is. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 From Bristol you know, the Massives. 50/50 they are. Link to post Share on other sites
AET 0 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 From Bristol? I didn't know that. Link to post Share on other sites
mwahahahaha 0 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I love their new album. The g/f calls it "menacing" and "devilish" (!) (she's Japanese), which is often a good sign for me (she's into boyband ballad type things, bless here). Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 For those who don't already know, Massive Attack will be in Japan this March. I'm going mainly 'cause DJ Shadow is opening: MASSIVE ATTACK special guest DJ SHADOW at NK Hall, Tokyo, 2003.3.25 (Tue) Open: 18:00 Start: 19:00 Ticket: 6,500 Massive Attack w/DJ Shadow Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'm going to the concert, too. The new album makes me sleepy, though. Is the DJ Shadow nice? Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I find DJ Shadow to be way nice-nice; he has a quiet confidence on the decks that makes hims seem personable and real. His stuff may be more interesting to knob-twiddlers and trainspotters though. Link to post Share on other sites
lorne 0 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Slow, will you still get sleepy at 18:30? I hope not.... it would be hard to as... you prob wont be able to have a beer anywhere near the main dance floor - or smoke a Ciggy(disgusting though it is! - (cigs make me gouchy and tired)) so you should be OK! 18:30... Really! I guess putting a concert on at that time really does seperate the REAL fans from the stragglers...Have a good time all that go.. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Yeah, I can sleep anytime & everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I've heard the new album and it's never really picks up a pace. That's probably the point, but.. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Not exactly a party album, this one folks. Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 For those that went to the Tokyo concert last night: what did you think? Personally, I would have preferred more DJ Shadow. Wasn't too impressed with Massive Attack. I also think it's a crime that you can't bring your beer with you onto the dancefloor at NK Hall. That place is a real Mickey Mouse operation.

akibun 0 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 What was Massive Attack like? How many people on the stage doing ? Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Akibun: They had a number of people revolving on and off the stage. I guess it's difficult to re-create their sound live. To my recollection, it was like this: Always on Stage: Drummer, Bassist, Keyboardist, Guitarist On and Off: Violinist, Female Singers (total of 3 different?), Male Singers/rappers (total of 3) Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I wouldn't have thought they were that good live - difficult to reproduce their sound well. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Were you there, Goemon?? It was like anti-war concert or something. I didn't like the hall, either. It's too far from the station. The sound quality was very bad first songs and I was very unconfortable with that sound. But it was OK at the end, getting better. Yeah, DJ Shadow was very interestiiiiiiing!

Goemon 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Yeah, I was there, Slow. Agree with your assessment of the sound; it did pick up a bit at the end there, but I still couldn't make out the vocals enough beyond a whiney drone. Don't even get me started on the lack of properly staffed beer distribution facilities at that place... I liked that video-sampling of the drum instruction that DJ Shadow did at the end.
