    Thanks for that @markv .  Not something I would otherwise have tried, but will definitely give it another listen.

    As for "when am I ready?"  You'll never be ready.  It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it.  - pmbomb

    So there are Massive Attack fans of old on here tonight as well as some new ears who I think have appreciated the experience.
    For both, I'd like to share this track, 'Live With Me', which is from their 'Collected' best of album. It's hauntingly brilliant. There are two videos for it, this is the unused version but the simplicity slays me.
    Terry Callier was 60 when he recorded this.




    I've just streamed that off Tidal. That's a bit good. Orchestral strings accompanying blues with a dub beat. Nice.

    Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

    Its a stunner but isn't on any 'proper' album, just a bonus new track on the Collected compilation so would have passed many people by.

    I thought I'd commented on this thread but I can't find it, perhaps it's because the album made me feel stoned, maybe I just thought it without typing.

    Isn't 3D/Robert Del Naja widely believed to be Banksy?

    Anyway, brilliant album that I haven't heard for years, 2nd hand CD for less than £3 should be delivered from the bay any day now, ideal long journey listening for me.

    You're all welcome!

    Who would like to do next week's listening party? @DiscoStu fancy it?
    Fuck! Where would I start?? 
    Anywhere, as long as it's not Disco. 
    Right, challenge accepted.
    I've thought of 5 candidates today so I need to get whittling.
    Everyone up for a bit of Rolf Harris?
