fantastic collection of rare tracks
Actually, super predators appeared in 1997 on the jackal movie soundtrack. ''Super Predators'' is just superb with this sample of ''metal poscard'' of Siouxsie and the Banshees. I just simply love it, it's toxic.

The remixes will give you minutes of heady pleasure, especially the ones from 'mezzanine'.


A must for any massive attack fan
If you are a hardcore fan -- you must buy this. This box set contains all of the remixes of massive attacks singles. My favorite single is the Unfinished Sympathy single.


Complete & Enthralling!
All 11 Massive Attack singles from "Blue Lines", "Protection" and "Mezzanine" are collected here, complete with B-sides and a host of remixes. This box set is, for lack of a better word, massive. A quick breakdown of why this is a worthy addition to any MA fan's record collection.

Outstanding Remixes
1. Daydreaming (Luv It Mix)
2. Daydreaming (Brixton Bass Mix)
3. Safe From Harm (Perfecto Mix)
4. Protection (Underdog's Angel Dust Mix)
5. Karmacoma (Portishead Experience)
6. Karmacoma (Napoli Trip)
7. Risingson (Underworld Mix)
8. Teardrop (Scream Team Remix)
9. Inertia Creeps (Manic Street Preachers Version)
10. Back/She Comes (Mad Professor)

Premium B-Sides
1. Any Love
2. Home of the Whale
3. Superpredators

Excellent Overall Singles
1. Daydreaming
2. Safe From Harm
3. Hymn of the Big Wheel
4. Teardrop
5. Inertia Creeps

Hidden Treasures
1. Any Love (Larry Heard Remix)
2. Be Thankful For What You've Got (Perfecto Mix)

The heat-sensitive packaging is excellent, and the only misfire I can think of is the Blur remix of Angel. An excellent representation of the evolution of MA, this collection is a treat for diehards and casual fans alike.


You aren't a fan of MA unless you own this...
I just want more and I won't consider money or anything and I'd buy any product (cds, posters or whatever) related to MA. I own the 3 albums of Massive Attack but I can't get enough from them 'cause I love their music too much. . . . . and this Singles Boxset is like the ID for a real MA fan. You may not love all the remixes but it definitely worths the price 'cause you own the singles, you own the boxset, you own MA, you are a real MA fan!.


love Massive Attack
Well, the b-sides from Mezzanine (SuperPredators, Reflection, and Euro Zero Zero) are great? Reflection is my favorite, a little faster than the songs on Mezzanine, SuperPredators is very eerrie, I love it! It's an instrumental track that is great for night driving while having a cigarette through the cemetery or something. I picked this boxed set up a few days ago and let me tell you, as a fairly new massive Attack fan this singles collection is just too good for words. Euro Zero Zero is the weakest of the three b-sides, but it's still good, I think it's actually a rendition of Euro-Child from 'Protection'. If you're only buying this boxed set for the Mezzanine singles, you're in for a surprise, the GORGEOUS remixes to safe from harm and Unfinished Sympathy make this boxed set worth the cost. Safe From Harm's 7" remix is so much more dramatic, darker than the album version. Unfinished Sympathy's remixes are some of the loveliest songs Massive Attack has ever done. I love Tracey Thorn's vocals on Protection, but the remixes don't do anything for me. Cocteau Twin's Elizabeth Fraser does a breathtaking job on Teardrop and the Mad Professor's remix is awesome.
