Another great song from massive attack and collaborator

"Massive Attack has created yet another unforgettable song,"Live With Me", this time with the truly great Terry Callier. The last survivors of this ulta cool triphop/dark soul outfit have forged yet another incredible collaboration with this gorgeous track. I simply can't get it out of my head! It's reminiscent of "Unfinished Sympathy" with its beautiful swelling strings, but the heart-breaking vocals by Callier evoke such powerful and mature emotions that it sets a new standard of excellence for an already brilliant musical catalogue. The videos for the song are also quite good, especially the one directed by Jonathan Glazer with the drinkingist girl ever. I cannot wait for the new album they are currently working on, I hear Mike Patton will be doing some vocals on the next release!! Clearly these children are continuing to evolve as artists, and I for one am very glad of it."
A strong return to form . . .

"Honestly, it was with a great deal of hesitation that I bought this single. Three years ago I rushed out to buy MA's last album - 100th Window - gave it a single listen, and got rid of it immediately. It was a huge huge disappointment, especially coming from a band whose prior works (Blue Lines/Protection/Mezzanine) were so inventive, so superlative, and so groundbreaking.



Nevertheless, when I heard about the new single I figured I'd take a risk and buy it. Honestly, I'm glad I did. This material is great on all counts. The lyrics are as deep and meaningful as they ever were. Live With Me is a ballad made all the more haunting by Terry Callier's vocals, and in False Flags, 3D points out how today's wars and protests are so much like those of the not-so-distant past. Musically, it's a return to the lush strings and languid beats that characterized their earlier, better work. This material is a step in a better direction. Hopefully the tracks on the next album will be as good as this single.



If you have all their albums, skip Collected and just get this single. The additional material on Collected: Special Edition is good (- very good, even), but most of it is outtakes from previous albums, or available elsewhere (soundtracks, etc.), so I can't really think of it as an essential purchase."
Give it another listen!

"That is my recommendation if you don't like this track the first time that you hear it. Once I did that I absolutely fell in love with it, and I can say that it's now included amongst my favourite MA songs. I love the way they combine the violins with Terry Collier's gruff but hauntingly sweet vocals. This song is another A+ collaboration from one of the best bands around, hands down."
