Product Description

Immerse yourself in the atmospheric soundscape of "Protection," the second studio album by the pioneering trip hop collective, Massive Attack. Released on September 26, 1994, under the Circa label, this album is a masterful blend of downtempo beats and haunting melodies that define the genre. With a runtime of 49 minutes, "Protection" features nine tracks, including the iconic "Karmacoma" and the live rendition of "Light My Fire" recorded in the United Kingdom in 1994. The album's title track, "Protection," sets the tone with its hypnotic rhythm and ethereal vocals, while tracks like "Better Things" and "Spying Glass" showcase the band's knack for creating moody, introspective soundscapes. "Protection" is a testament to Massive Attack's innovative approach to music, making it a timeless piece in the world of electronic and alternative music.

This 2016 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Bass Heavy Track

    5 out of 5 stars
    PipujWooqllzaj4 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    The bass on this track is absolutely crazy, even with just a pair of first-gen Sonos Play 1s in stereo.

  • MA's Latest Disappoints

    2 out of 5 stars
    howwu425 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm a big fan of MA, but my latest copy is really disappointing. Frankly, it's like AI-generated music. There's no substance, no feeling. Sadly, it's not up to par. Though, my Mezzanine CD is still top-notch.

  • Chill, Quality Pressing

    4 out of 5 stars
    Wtiyjdiws30 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    There's not a single issue with this record pressing. Folks these days just love to find something to complain about. If the plastic wrapping on the cover isn't up to par, they instantly assume the pressing is faulty. Seriously, take a chill pill. Maybe consider getting a decent turntable that doesn't have a plastic stylus or the name "Crosley" slapped on it before whining about the pressing not meeting your high standards for sound quality in your bedroom : /

  • Vinyl Cleaner Works Wonders

    5 out of 5 stars
    ElaKwaatXeaLpmein16 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    Man, my vinyl was filthy, like really REALLY bad, even had some weird white stuff, glue maybe, on it, all wrapped up. But after giving it a good clean, it sounds amazing, no hissing or skips at all.

  • Great Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    ntahiphfa16 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    While it might not be a widely shared view, I believe this album surpasses their first one. It feels like a natural progression, an evolution of that initial sound, but with added depth. "Karmacoma" was *richer*, "Sly" was *more profound*. By the time they recorded this, the band had grown, and it's evident in the music. The tracks seem to be drenched in darker, more intense colors. The album as a whole doesn't quite have the cohesion of the debut, but as a set of songs, it's stronger. It's more adventurous, more self-assured and mature.
