LIVE WITH ME - MASSIVE ATTACK - WITH TERRY CALLIER
Label: VIRGIN RECORDS
Release Date: 13 March 2006
Massive Attack - Live With Me (Virgin EMI)
Bristol's best-loved trip hoppers seem to have taken time our from their constant internal wranglings to pen this single featuring the velvety vocal of Terry Callier. Pretty much standard Massive Attack fare really, soulful, immaculately produced and very moody.
The latest Hardkandy single features the popular vocal skills of Terry Callier who must have fitted this recording in between his latest Massive Attack effort. An even slower tempo ballad type number than 'Three Days' this single has the added bonus (if you look at it that way) of no less than 7 remixes of the same track. The basic radio edit is a pretty solid acoustic guitar/vocal version but a couple of the remixes are pretty good too - the 'Hardkandy Rerub' version somehow manages to inject a bit of a Madchester swagger into what would seem to be a completely inappropriate song for that treatment. It's not going to set the world on fire but for a single, over 36 minutes of music is pretty good value at least.
