No Protection

Amazon.co.uk This is the studio work of London's prodigious dub godfather, Mad Professor, who takes Massive Attack's Protection album as raw material to create a completely new experience. Bits are added, dropped out, accentuated, run through sonic effects, drenched in reverb, turned inside out until the songs disappear and in their place emerge reborn textural soundscapes. No Protection gives a sort of discursive aural commentary on Protection's original songs, pointing out all the obscured details--the most minute percussive rings and beeps, the most mesmerising bass loops. --Roni Sarig Product Description ...

After the single was remixed, the band asked Mad Professor to listen to more of the album to delve into the possibility of additional remixes. The project then became a track by track remix of almost the entire album dubbed; ‘No Protection Dub’. This is no mere exercise in knob-twisting, Fraser explores these tunes very intimately and yet strips them of almost all their original identity, creating something new. If you’re a fan of the Massive Attack original, you’ll be exceptionally entertained by this very original and well-crafted musical masterwork. Tracklist: 1. Radiation Ruling The Nation 2. Bumper Ball Dub 3. Trinity Dub 4. Cool Monsoon 5. Eternal Feedback 6. Moving Dub 7. I Spy 8. Backward Sucking
