Massive Attack-Unfinshed Sympathy

Massive Attack 

The band:

Their history goes back to the 1983 and the formation of the wild bunch,which are one of the most successful dj to arrive on the uk music scene. They have a range of music styles such as, punk to reggae to R&B. The groups music events suddenly came unmissable for the Bristol club crowed. They got so big that at the peak of their popularity they made crowed's so big that the local live music scene put it to a halt. when the Wild Bunch folded during the 80's two of its popular members 'mushroom' and 'Daddy G' teamed up with local graffiti artist to form Massive Attack in 1987. One of the members split his time with the group and his other project. The groups first single 'daydreaming' appeared in 1990 featuring the vocals of the singer Shara Nelson. Their debut album blue lines was released in 1991, with the single 'unfinished sympathy' reaching the charts and later being voted the 63rd greatest song of all time. 

Blue lines filtered American hip hop through the lens of British club culture. The album balances dark, diva-led club jams along the lines of soul 11 soul with some of the best British rap. 

Their history dates back to 1983 and the formation of The Wild Bunch, one of the earliest and most successful sound system/DJ collectives to arrive on the U.K music scene. Renowned for their seamless integration of a wide range of music styles, from punk to reggae to R&B, the groups parties quickly became can't-miss events for the Bristol Club crowd, and at the peak of their popularity they drew crowds so enormous that the local live music scene essentially ground to a halt. When The Wild Bunch folded during the mi-80's, two of its members Andrew Vowels (Mushroom) and Grant Marshall (Daddy G) teamed with local graffiti artist Robert del Naja (3D) to form Massive Attack in 1987. The choice of "massive" was done to avoid a radio ban as its release coincided with the Gulf War.

Post-punk (originally called new musick) is a broad type of rock music that emerged from the punk movement of the 1970s, in which artists departed from the simplicity and traditionalism of punk rock to adopt a variety of avant-gardesensibilities. Inspired by punk's energy and DIY ethic but determined to break from rock cliches, artists experimented diversely with sources including electronic music, free jazz, and black dance styles like funk, disco, and dub; novel recording and production techniques; and ideas from art and politics, including critical theory, modernist art and literature. 

The music video for the hit song 'Unfinished Sympathy' was directed by Baillie Walsh, it is a one continuous shot filmed on West Pico boulevard in Los Angeles, California. it features Shara Nelson walking along a sidewalk, indifferent and oblivious to her surroundings, which include drunks, gangs an bikers.
