Massive Attack are a Bristol-based band formed out of the Wild Bunch soundsystem in the late 1980s, credited with [[Trope Maker|creating the genre]] of trip-hop along with contemporaries [[Portishead]] (and arguably [[DJ Shadow]] too).
Line 14 ⟶ 12:
The group's original line-up consisted of Robert "3D" Del Naja, Grantley "Daddy G" Marshall and Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles. Vowles left the group after the release of 1998's ''Mezzanine'', citing creative differences. Massive Attack are well-known for featuring a large number of guest vocalists in their songs; reggae singer Horace Andy has appeared on all of their albums and Tricky performed on ''Blue Lines'' and ''Protection'' before leaving for a solo career. Other similar collaborators have included Shara Nelson (''Blue Lines''), Tracey Thorn and Nicolette (''Protection''), [[Cocteau Twins|Elisabeth Fraser]] and Sara Jay (''Mezzanine''), Sinéad O'Connor and [[Blur (band)|Damon Albarn]] (''100th Window''), and [[TV On the Radio|Tunde Adebimpe]], [[Mazzy Star|Hope Sandoval]] and [[Gorillaz|Damon]] [[Blur (band)|Albarn]] (''Heligoland'').

{{
* [[Auto-Tune]]: Used to disturbing but awesome stylistic effect on "Butterfly Caught." Del Naja's already creepy whisper is shifted to such perfect pitch that he sounds entirely inhuman.
* [[BSOD Song]]: "False Flags."
