I found out a few days ago that massive attack will be playing in Romania on 2nd of august. I've been waiting for this moment since i was 13 or 14 years old. Back then i thought i was able to make music and i was part of a band. I was the main vocal. HAHAHA. Picture that. Obviously, my singing sucks and eventually i had to leave that band. But during that experience the guy that i use to work with was a huge massive attack fan. He was the first man to show me this band. The first single I’ve listened from massive attack was angel. I still remember the album cover, a very simple and black one, with a huge and weird bug on it. Even if i was pretty much intro electronic music back then, i wasn't so familiar with down tempo, trip hop or dub, just because the only music i had access to was very hard techno, trance, goa and lots of junk music. All of my friends were listening to very depressing rock and they used to laugh at my musical “likenesses”. I needed just a second from angel to realize that it will be the track that will change my musical style and my hole perception of music. This song leaded the way intro music. Once you listen to angel and you do understand it and you do like it, then it's no turning back. After angel i discovered mezzanine. I was madly in love with dissolved girl, teardrop and especially inertia creeps. I don't really know why i love this song so much, i still don't know, and i'm happy not knowing.Massive attack actually changed my life, change me as a human being. My hole childhood is based on these aggressive guitars and rhythms sinths and especially those deep and powerful voices. Not to mention the lyrics. I haven't listened to massive attack in more than 3 years and yet i remember every single lyric from mezzanine album.After massive attack followed portishead, the chemical brothers, daft punk, fatboy slim, in that particular order, but nothing can ever compare to these British geniuses.I can't say that i have too many friends in this life. If i think well, i have none, except my boyfriends' friends. I still wonder how i managed to have a boyfriend since I’m the nr. One sociopath in the world and yes, I am way over the emo-age. the only man that reminds me of my massive attack times, of my techno and rave times is now a brilliant photographer which i see once every 6 months and yet, all i have to do is look at him and he knows what i'm thinking. All i have to say is angel, and he knows. I guess that music, but only good music, really brings people together.
