{"product_id":"massiveattackvsmadprofessor-noprotection","title":"Massive Attack vs Mad Professor - No Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eProtection\u003c\/em\u003e was widely considered a disappointing follow-up to Massive Attack's groundbreaking debut, Blue Lines. Where their debut bent all of the conventional hip-hop, dub reggae, and soul rules,\u003cem\u003e Protection\u003c\/em\u003e essentially delivered more of the same. Perhaps that's the reason why Mad Professor's remix of the album, \u003cem\u003eNo Protection\u003c\/em\u003e, was welcomed with open arms by both Massive Attack fans and critics. Mad Professor has returned the group to their experimental, cut-and-paste dub reggae and hip-hop roots. He has gutted the songs - twisting and reassembling the vocal tracks, giving the songs deeper, fuller grooves and an eerily seductive atmosphere. In other words, he has made Protection into a more daring and fulfilling album with his remixes. — (via Stephen Thomas Erlewine \/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/no-protection-mw0000183371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGiven Massive Attack's background, it was almost inevitable that they'd release a dub overhaul of one of their albums at one point. That time came in 1995, when British sound system legend Mad Professor - responsible for some of the greatest UK-made dub records of all time - put his distinctive twist on Protection. 21 years on, the set still sounds sublime: a radical translation that frequently bares only a passing resemblance to the Bristol band's original. It's packed with highlights, from the spaced-out, dub-house rework of \"Spying Glass\" (\"I Spy\"), to the ricocheting percussion hits and twinkling pianos of \"Weather Storm (Cool Monsoon)\", and creepy, delay-laden string surges of \"Eternal Feedback (Sly)\".  — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/massive-attack-vs-mad-professor-no-protection-vinyl\/628745-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJuno\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/31m3CasBlRFcf8exTSkM1r\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Virgin\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, 180gram\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2016 \/Original:1995\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Reggae\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Downtempo, Dub, Trip Hop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under:  Electronic \/\/ Downtempo\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456682270878,"sku":"602557009637","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/bb340fabb2d173946752097ce018999b0fe99b70.jpg?v=1646294435","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/massiveattackvsmadprofessor-noprotection","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
