Over the past decade Massive Attack have established
themselves as one of the most innovative and influential
bands. Full stop. Not only has their music been embraced
by critics and the public alike so have their videos,
which means that the prospect of a Massive Attack DVD
featuring all their promos is some treat. The band have
worked with some of the most talented and insightful
directors in their field:Baillie Walsh, Stefan Sedanoui,
Michel Gondry, Johnathan Glazer, Walter Stern and Wiz;
who have created some of the most visually and
conceptually stunning videos ever produced.
The DVD contains eleven videos, all are full length,
director's cuts. Some have rarely been seen, and in fact
'Angel' has never been seen by the viewing public.
Robert Del Naja explains: 'I wanted to undesign it
rather than design it, the reason being that this is a
retrospective work, it's a collection of videos from the
last three albums and I felt that no one piece of
artwork could summarise the work that we've done. So I
decided to minimise it and take away all the packaging
so that it almost looks like data. This is in keeping
with the feel of the DVD generally. I didn't want to do
loads of extras; I just wanted to keep it simple on
every level. But if anyone is really inclined, they can
go to the website and download their own artwork.'
