And I gotta say.......what a waste of space *that* track was on the
album. Only Massive Attack track I *dislike* ('cept maybe
'Protection'), and I dislike it immensly.

Off to buy 'Mezzanine' tomorrow :)

And re: wierd covers. One of my absolute favourite ever tracks is
'High Noon' by Kruder and Dorfmeister. Not exatley a cover, but
certainly recognisable. You find yourself humming 'Blue Moon' all
day.
