That’s the sound of Protection.
It was sparse.
It was minimal.
It was mesmerising.
It was unlike anything you’d ever heard before. It was so unique that it stood out from everything else released at the time.
It is a miracle that Massive Attack managed to repeat the trick on Mezzanine with Teardrop. Often it is foolish to try to recreate something so unique. I’m not really sure how Teardrop manages this trick, but it takes the template of Protection and manages to twist it just far enough to be both familiar and yet new. Mezzanine as a whole manages to create a mood of edginess and paranoia. Teardrop fits in seamlessly.
