Corr blimey! Imagining quite who wouldn't want to listen to the sonic perfection of Massive Attack is possibly beyond me.

Massive Attack have always been a part of my life, although an indirect one, as my mother was a very big fan of all their releases, but it was not until litrally a couple of weeks ago it truly dawned on me the beauty of their work.

I was sat in a hot sweaty exam room with 13 other students taking my AS level Music Technology exam, when I turned the page and the next track on the prompt CD began playing Teardrop to my humble ears.

For a few minutes, I actually had to stop answeting questions, to simply sit and take this track in properly. I was blown away with a feeling of self worth and accomplishment, when all I had done was listen to my exam piece?

Surely no band (especially one frm Bristol, home of Little Britain's Vicky Pollard!!) could be capable of such inescapable viral emotion? WRONG

I very quickkly went out to buy my own copy of Collected, as my mother did not have it, and I only really wanted the best tracks form all her albums, and I was not dissapointed.

It should say enough to any potential buyer that massive attack are considered such pioneers of production and purveyors of excellent musical ability to appear on an official Music Technology A level examination, to say that listening to this CD has got to be something of a once in a lifetime experience.

Other than 'Teardrop', other particularly memorable tracks include (but are not liited to.. after all.. this is a best of collection!) 'Unfinished Sympathy' and new single 'Live With Me'

I could write on and on about this CD, but truly, the only way forward now, is to buy. Onward and upward my friends, expand your horizons and LISTEN TO MASSIVE ATTACK
