Biography

Collaborative British music production group from Bristol, England. The band currently consists of Robert Del Naja, Tricky, and Daddy G. The original lineup also included Andrew Vowles. The group name is taken from a slogan sprayed by New York graffiti artist '[url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1894642-Brim-2]Brim[/url]', who sprayed 'Massive Attack' underneath a 'piece' in Bristol, UK in 1985. '[url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1894642-Brim-2]Brim[/url]', along with 'Balogun' and '[url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/5007984-Bio-14]Bio[/url]' were part of the TATS CRU from NYC who sprayed a 'piece' each together at the Malcolm X Centre, St. Paul's in Bristol. [a151718], who was an upcoming graffiti artist at the time, with the tag 3-D, has stated that he/they had adopted the slogan initially as a name for a record label, and then later took it on as a band name. During the 1991 Gulf War the group name was shown on some releases as 'Massive' in order to maintain airplay after pressure from the British Government on radio programmers.

LYRICS

3d
A flask I drink of sober tea
While relay cameras monitor me
And the buzz surrounds it does
Buzz surrounds
Buzz surrounds

Liz Fraser

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh
Elsewhere
Indefinitely
Far away
Magnifies and deepens
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
And listening

3d

Keeps me from my hurt

Liz Fraser

My ears know that my eyes are closed

3d

Perish thoughs like contraband
I train myself in martial arts
As advertised
I reinforce my softened parts
As advertised

Liz Fraser

See through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath

3d

Flickering I roam

Liz Fraser

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath

3d

Flickering I roam

Liz Fraser

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed

3d

I see to bolts
Put keys to locks
No boat are rocked
I'm free to roam
On dummy screens
And magazines

Liz Fraser

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh

3d

To think that I lay next to you
Wasting time when I could do
A simple job in strip lights
A flask I drink a sober tea
'Till daylight sends me home
Flickering I roam

Liz Fraser

Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
Seen through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
