The Greatest Music
Protection
The 1147th greatest album of all time
Protection (1994) is Massive Attack's second album, extending their trip hop approach with slow, dub-influenced grooves, lush electronic textures, and an emphasis on mood and atmosphere over upfront beats. Guest vocalists including Tracey Thorn and longtime collaborator Horace Andy add warm, melancholic tones, while layered production blends elements of dub, downtempo, and electronic music to produce cinematic, immersive arrangements associated with 1990s trip hop.
