"I must admit that I picked up this CD with some hesitation. I've been a Massive Attack fan for a number of years now. I knew this release would be different (as all MA albums are), which is the reason for my hesitation. Upon hearing the first track, I knew I would love this CD, and I do! MA slams you against the wall with "Opening Title", then one short clip after another they keep you there. Then it slows a little with "Sam". Then once again there back at it. The dark, trancelike sound they are so famous for is all here. I can't help but be reminded of the rythymic sound of "Mezzanine", the album most collectors have anyway. This release is a must-have for any Massive Attack affectionado. This album is a Soundtrack, and there are no vocals anywhere; which I think is a refreshing change. As there are 21 tracks - each track is short - some under a minute. However, this doesn't affect the continuity of the album, as each track is merged with another in some places. MA fans... Go Get It!"
