>Massive Attack Versus Mad Professor, Pt. 2
>
>Bristol trip-hop trio Massive Attack, whose ace third album,
>Mezzanine, was released in the US last Monday and which debuted
>at number one in the UK album charts upon its release six weeks
>ago, already have another entire album's worth of material set
>aside. Talking with Robert "3-D" Del Naja, muzic.com learned that
>London-based dub producer/engineer Neil 'Mad Professor' Fraser has
>been working on various remixes of every song featured on Mezzanine
>for the past year, as the band were busy completing finished album
>versions. "We would send him a copy of the song and he'd send us
>back loads of different mixes," said Del Naja. "He's always taken
>our stuff to interesting places, and growing up in Bristol, with
>its West Indian influence, reggae has always been a large part of
>our sound."
>
>The first fruits of these side-sessions can be heard on the CD single
>"Teardrop," and is entitled "The Mad Professor Mazaruni Instrumental."
>As of now, there are no solid plans for an entire album to emerge in
>the way it did for the last collaboration between the parties, when the
>Mad Professor remixed most of the Protection album under the title No
>Protection, although the quantity of available material is certainly
>no problem.
>
>"We really don't know what we're going to do with them yet," says
>Del Naja of the remixed dub material. "But we haven't thought about
>anything album-wise for the immediate future. There's so many
>versions to choose from, we've certainly got enough for a few albums,
>but I think we'll start off with some B-sides." -Steffan Chirazi
