Massive Attack - Heligoland



The pioneering force behind the rise of trip-hop, Massive Attack were among the most innovative and influential groups of their generation; their hypnotic sound — a darkly sensual and cinematic fusion of hip-hop rhythms, soulful melodies, dub grooves, and choice samples — set the pace for much of the dance music to emerge throughout the 1990s, paving the way for such acclaimed artists as Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, UNKLE and Tricky, himself a Massive Attack alumnus.

Heligoland is the fifth regular studio album, entitled after the German archipelago of the same name. It had been officially released in February 2010 – seven years after the release of their previous non-soundtrack, standalone studio album, 100th Window.
