NSFW

Massive Attack's album is a highly anticipated one for me. Mezzanine took my musical interests in all kinds of new and dark directions and with patchy output since that has sometimes matched and often disappointed, this was a make or break album for me.

After watching an alienating and awkward performance at Brixton back in November, I was more than dubious. Though Massive Attack's trip-hop is always broody, I still find mysef able to connect with them, revel in their darkness as opposed to feeling withdrawn from it. They had many special effects on stage, an amazing light show, displaying quotes about the world that was really quite breathtaking.

However, this video has appeared for new track Paradise Circus and it's thought-provoking and a little disturbing at the same time. Never have I seen someone talk so frankly about pornography and it's a revealing and unsettling video.

It is definately not suitable for work, uni or any of that jazz so watch your back first.
