Watch: five classics from Meltdown curators Massive Attack
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver June 13th, 2008

As the Massive Attack-curated Meltdown Festival hits its stride properly over the coming days, with sets from the Bristolians, Elbow, Fleet Foxes and Fuck Buttons, a Silent Disco featuring Daddy G and many other attractions, DiS celebrates the three-decade-spanning career of the influencial dub/hip-hop/pop/reggae… whatever veterans, whose work since the late ‘80s has rarely dipped in quality. Five videos from five albums. Enjoy.

‘Unfinished Sympathy’ (1991; Blue Lines LP)

‘Karmacoma’ (1994; Protection LP)

‘Inertia Creeps’ (1998; Mezzanine LP)

‘Butterfly Caught’ (2003; 100th Window LP)

‘Live With Me’ (2006; Collected LP, ‘best of’)
