Massive Attack’s Blue Lines

In 1991, three producers released a record called Blue Lines under the name Massive Attack. It spliced together decades of American hip-hop and soul with the British postcolonial underground, creating, in a moment, the genre of trip-hop. As Blue Lines's iconic flame logo spun on turntables the world over, Massive Attack's spaced-out and sensual urban blues reimagined the sonic landscape of the 1990s and beyond.
