MASSIVE ATTACK - COLLECTED [LIMITED EDITION], released March 2006.
Encoded 192Kbps [Lame] mp3. Covers included.

From the Label:
With their critically acclaimed albums clocking up millions of sales worldwide, a clutch of awards and a new album due for release in early 2007, the time felt right for a Massive Attack "Best Of", an apt reminder of their musical legacy to date. The album is entitled Collected and features all their key tracks and the new single "Live With Me" which features Terry Callier on vocals.
This limited edition include the main disc and a bonus dual-disc featuring additional new tracks, un-released material, rarities, remixes and all of their videos to date, including the new single.

Description:
'Collected' is a compilation that highlights the finest moments of the Bristolian trip-hop pioneers, Massive Attack. Whether on their own or collaborating with artists such as Tricky and Sinead O'Connor, the band have always sought to expand on their atmospheric, dark brand of trip-hop, managing to stay one step ahead of the pack whilst many of their contemporaries have fallen by the wayside. Includes the hits 'Unfinished Sympathy', 'Teardrop' and 'Karmacoma'.

Allmusic Review:
The import version of Massive Attack's Collected comes as a double with a DualDisc. Disc one comes with the album as released in the States, and the disc has a standard CD layer with ten tracks not included on the single-disc version. It features some rarities, and some of the band's soundtrack work ? including the title track from Danny the Dog ? and some rarities with guest vocalists ? including "Silent Spring" and "Black Melt" with Elizabeth Fraser; "Incantations" with Horace Andy; "I Against I," with Mos Def; "Joy Luck Club," with Debbie Clare, and "Small Time Shoot 'Em Up," with backing vocals by Damon Albarn. In addition, Madonna's "I Want You" is here, with Massive Attack creating her sonically seductive backdrop. The flipside of the CD features 16 different videos. Many of them are tracks from Collected: "Daydreaming," "Be Thankful for What You've Got," "Special Cases," and "False Flags." In addition to the "Live with Me" video that hosts Terry Callier giving a stellar vocal performance, there is an alternate version. This is a lot of bang for the buck for the hardcore fans of the new blues Massive Attack fans.
