Popüler.
Protest.
Pek politik.
Aktivist.
İngiliz.
Trip hop’un şahı.
Kah melankolik, kah isyankar.
Biraz da seksi.
1988’den bu yana 5 stüdyo albümü, sayısız remix.
Böyle özetleyiveririm ben Massive Attack’ı.
Yanılmıyorsam İstanbul’a 5. gelişleri.
Benim ise 3. izleyişim olacak: 2003 Parkorman, 2010 Kuruçeşme Arena, 2014 Küçükçiftlik Park.
Konser performansları o kadar iyi ve yaşattıkları o kadar acaip bir deneyim ki, eminim benim gibi daha önce izlemiş olan herkes bu cumartesi gününü içi kıpır kıpır bekliyordur. Bakalım bu sefer dev ekrandan nasıl politik mesajlar akacak?
Safe From Harm (Blue Lines – 1991)
But if you hurt what’s mine
I’ll sure as hell retaliate
You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby’s safe from harm tonight
Daydreaming (Blue Lines – 1991)
Dance to the drummer’s beats we need new sticks
Bounce around the vibes like acoustics
Unfinished Sympathy (Blue Lines – 1991)
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more
Protection (Protection – 1995)
You’re a boy and i’m a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don’t have no fear
I’ll take on any man here
Who says that’s not the way it should be
Karmacoma (Protection – 1995)
You sure you want to be with me
I’ve nothing to give
Won’t lie and say this love is best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest
Teardrop (Mezzanine – 1998)
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Angel (Mezzanine – 1998)
You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love
Inertia Creeps (Mezzanine – 1998)
Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I’m a sliding scale
Can’t endure then you can’t inhale
Special Cases (100th Window – 2003)
Don’t tell your man what he don’t do right
Nor tell him all the things that make you cry
But check yourself for your own shit
And don’t be making out like it’s all his
Butterfly Caught (100th Window – 2003)
Keep smiling for me
Darkened skin
Afraid to see
Radiate
Open lips
Keep smiling for me
Live With Me (Collected – 2006)
Either way, win or lose
When you’re born into trouble
You live the blues
I’ve been thinkin’ about you, baby
See it almost makes me crazy
Atlas Air (Heligoland – 2010)
Nothing to lose but my chains
Internet beats on my brains
Head in the sand, feet in the clay
A place to piece, a place to pray
Paradise Circus (Heligoland – 2010)
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
Girl I Love You (Heligoland – 2010)
Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever
