Massive Attack – Blue Lines (1991)
It’s difficult to imagine modern electronic music without Blue Lines.
Massive Attack took hip-hop beats, soul, reggae, dub and electronic music and fused them into something completely new. While many point to this as the birth of trip hop, its influence stretches far beyond any one genre.
Featuring unforgettable guest vocals from Shara Nelson and Horace Andy, Blue Lines proved that dance music could be thoughtful, cinematic and just as powerful at home as it was in the club.
A landmark British album whose influence is still heard across electronic music more than 30 years later.
Standout tracks: Unfinished Sympathy / Safe From Harm / Daydreaming
