LOVE the track!

and glad they're releasing an EP
I feel like it's a "forgotten format" ... as in - people just release either normal, short 20 minute singles; full albums; or simple downloads

I mean... Pearls Girl = classic

and sometimes albums sound much better as a series of EP's, instead of a bloated album. Seriously, cut up an album like.... Dj Shadow's "Outsider" and its much easier to digest

seeing them in Dublin come october

Me too, Horace Andy was the coolest man on the planet last time I saw them at the Olympia, any ideas who's on the tour?

I love listening to Horace Andy, so I like that bit he's on. Plus, it's rather dark, so that's appealing (considering all the people involved in this album, I was scared they'd start sounding like a pop band).

it's not very good but a damn sight better than half of the hell-on-earth that was 100th window.

My first reaction was similar to Eikman's, but then i listened to it three more times. It's a grower for sure...

This is the full EP streaming. First song is much better sound quality. 2nd track is great, 3rd song, the remix of Psyche featuring Martina is AMAZING (remixed by Fever Ray's producers).

Oh man this sounds good!Is there not going to be an actual hard release of this? I hate the idea of digital downloads replacing cds completely... i want a cd to put in my cd player.. its better that way.. more natural...

... or even some vinyl... now that would be perfect

yes. the announcements say there's physical and vinyl.

and wonderful!

and... of course - I will still buy it
although, I will admit - the remix tracks don't have quite the same punch as the first two songs

man i don't know. they made me QUITE happy to have them back in top form after the disater that was 100 windows or whatever it's called.

10-06-2009, 08:59 AM
wait...

is this ONLY available as Amazon / iTunes download???
I went onto the MA webpage (and it just sends you to iTunes)
I searched on both Amazon.com and .co.uk

...and have had no luck

I mean, "I want to support the band" and all... but if the leaked tracks were 320kbps, I'm certainly not going to pay for mp3 downloads

I was hoping for a cd copy at least

According to MA mailing list, a version on 12" will be out at some point soon. Saw them live the other week, brilliant show.

Just back from seing them in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin... absolutely amazing show.. the new songs were fantastic! And in such a small venue like the olympia there was a seriously good vibe going on... such a huge sound - the whole place was shaking... really every time i see them live im just reminded of how good they are.. Brilliant!


Oh and i got some good shots so ill give ya'll a link when they are ready

Where can I find some releases from 2004-2009; such as United Snakes? Is that on the second CD of Collected? iTunes doesn't have all of collected. Where can I find United Snakes?
jOHN rODRIGUEZ

If I recall correctedtedly, most of the United Skanks remixes can be found on you tube or other sites like that and then you just record from your computer. I, for reasons I cannot recall correcctedtedly, cannot record anything from my computer. But, believe it or not, I do have friends, with or without benefits really just depends on how one defines such who are able to do those parts for me.

"...nothing's changed, nothing's changed..."* is usually on a loop in my head most of the time anyways so I really could go without having too many mixes of those songs in the first place.


*Trust me, you don't want to know why and even if you did and I were to explain it to you and you were able to understand what I was getting at it would probably take a while to sink in in the first place to the point that I'd have given up trying and probably ripped all the mixes by the time everything came round full circle and we would all be right where we began. NOTHING'S CHANGED. See?

um...

I'm pretty sure there weren't any remixes of "United Snakes"
the only released version is the instrumental one, and it's the b-side to "False Flags"

http://www.discogs.com/Massive-Attack-False-Flags-United-Snakes/master/32698

now - when they played it live... a few times 3D did add vocals, etc etc etc

and about "Collected"
YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD GET THE TWO DISC VERSION

it has a few new and unreleased songs
stuff that's actually legitimately rare

(edit)
here's the Amazon link to it
http://www.amazon.com/Collected-Massive-Attack/dp/B000ENBNT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1255012409&sr=8-1

sure - it is a bit pricey now (even for a used copy)
but essentially you're getting a double album and a dvd

"False Flags" isn't really "new"
(I posted about it earlier - although I mis-spoke about it being instrumental... it's just been a while since I listened to it)

(edit)
although that video definitely is new...
I wonder if this means that it'll be on the album?

or at least on a single that's easier to track down - as False Flags was vinyl-only (although, yea - there was a promo cd)

United Snakes is balls. Don't know why they bothered.

Any thoughts on the new MA EP? Splitting the Atom? It's not terrible - sounds a bit too Gorillaz for my liking, though. Though, judging from the bootlegs and live clips from their shows last year, where they debuted a bunch of new tracks, the new album (Heligoland) is set to be amazing...
