Wow you actually liked Unleashed? I thought it was crap.

I really like Paradise Circus. Right after I first heard it I started watching the tv show Luther. Used it as the opening theme. They took out the clapping though, which was disappointing.

Massive Attacks pretty damn good.

I like this one. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8yaVSLJVLA&feature=grec_index[/youtube]

Both of these are awesome, great videos too.
This first is classic massive attack and was what made me notice them for the first time, the second features in the matrix near the beginning, you hear it playing a moment before neo's introduced in the film.

Try Zero 7, the sneaker pimps, Portishead and Morcheeba for similar stuff.

You hit the nail on the head, Unfinished Sympathy and Dissolved Girl are my two favorite tracks by Massive Attack. Most everything they've ever done has been great. Personally I like Mezzanine the best, Rising Son and Inertia Creeps are monster tunes, plus Dissolved Girl is on there too.

And, yeah, Portishead (especially their album "Dummy") and Morcheeba are fantastic too. I'd also recommend Lamb - check out the tracks God Bless and Gorecki.

Portishead are superb. Lamb too, are also amazing Trip-Hop.

Also check out Tricky, who left Massive Attack to go solo. :wink:

I like. Lots of quality tunes of Robert et al., Tricky's earlier solo albums are dope as well.
