Lovely music for all ages
Massive Attack is great techno, Teardrop is a lovely song, that will be stuck in You head forever. . then the Mad Proffesor remix brings out the lyrics a little clearer, and makes it that much more meaningful.
"Grows on you" would be an understatement!
Darker than previous singles and not quite as obviously "sexy", it's a challenging first listen. Like all of MA's releases, I was uncertain of what to make of "Teardrop" when I first heard it. But Liz Fraser's hypnotic vocals and the subtle musical storm that rolls in the distance behind her insinuate themselves into your subconscious until you have no choice but to surrender to the chilling beauty of the track.
Of the two remixes here, the Scream Team (Primal Scream's production posse) version is the real standout. Also included are a Mad Professor remix and a haunting alternate version of "Eurochild" from MA's previous CD, "Protection".
