Danny the Dog - Massive Attack

The original soundtrack for the film Unleashed (previously called Danny the Dog) starring Jet Li and Bob Hoskins directed by Louis Leterrier. Also stars Morgan Freeman.

The film follows Danny (Jet Li) who's been treated like a dog since he was taken from his mother when he was child by Uncle Bart (Bob Hoskins), a ruthless Loan Shark. He's thrown into a Fight-club style inviroment and forced to kill at his masters command. Danny escapes and is pursued by his master who tries to reclaim him.

Massive Attack produced the entire music for the film and is not just a compilation of songs. The album takes you on a journey throughout the film and typical of Massive Attack, they can pack a real punch when they need to.

The tracks are quite short but beautifully produced. They have a real Massive Attack feel to them but without sounding like any of their other albums. Some are quite haunting, some are quite punk-filled and some are just plain tremendous.

The Dog Obeys (track 18) is an awesome track with some pounding bass. I am Home (track 20) is also good with a rocking beat reminiscent of the Blue Lines album.

It's a shame the film didn't do so well at the cinema, maybe this soundtrack would be better known. It's a really good soundtrack compared to most and I'd definately reccomend it. However, I'd advise that you watch the film first.

Negatives - It's not the best release by Massive Attack to be honest, there's no vocals on the sound track and it mostly is background music trying to tell a story.

17.: Everything About You Is New
18.: Dog Obeys
19.: Danny The Dog
20.: I Am Home

On the whole an interesting and pleasent album, but if you want Teardrop or Unfinished Sympathy then this may not be for you.

It's very different from their other albums (although some it sounds like a natural follow-on from 100th Window) and I guess that's because it's a soundtrack. Still a great album though. Good review. David
