Massive Attack «Heligoland» [2010]

The 2 genres that acquired a full maturity in the 1990s were grunge and trip-hop. Luckily no one at Massive Attack suffered from suicidal tendencies and we can all enjoy Heligoland, their 5th studio album release.

Ok there are no epochal anthems like in Protection or Mezzanine, but the elements that made Del Naja & co. famous and appreciated worldwide are all there: refined sounds, whispering hypnotic vocals and heavy bass lines.

Continuity and experimentation go hand in hand in Massive Attack's - - - > Heligoland.

The Modern Lovers «The Modern Lovers» [1976]

Tagged at the same time as proto-punk, punk, and post-punk, The Modern Lovers are fundamentally a typical US rock 'n' roll band of the 1970s. Catchy guitar riffs, a rhythm session that never misses a beat, and minimalist lyrics about love and life in the land of opportunities: this is the essential content of the band's first and only real album, released when they had already split up.

Some of its members were later to be part of seminal names such as The Cars and Talking Heads, while the founder and guitarist would end up further exploring his concept of new American folk music with different line-ups known as Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.
