Album Review: Massive Attack – Heligoland - Beats Per Minute
Heligoland is the fifth studio album by English electronic pioneers Massive Attack , released on February 8, 2010, through Virgin Records
The closer. A thumping, martial beat, layers of distorted bass, and Del Naja’s processed vocals chanting “Atlas Air” like a mantra. It’s the album’s most aggressive track, evoking drone warfare and corporate omnipotence. Powerful, but it arrives too late – a final surge of energy after an hour of subdued dread.
Of Mazzy Star fame, she delivers the ethereal and darkly romantic "Paradise Circus," arguably the album's standout track.
