Massive Attack are the masters of the incessant, programmed synth drum beat and moody, grinding bass line - a combination which has been so widely and excruciatingly mis-used by so many, but which in the hands of the Massives is generally spellbinding. Theyve churned out a conveyor belt of classics, including Karmacoma and their remix of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khans Mustt Mustt, but theyre all eclipsed by the beauty of Teardrop featuring the impossibly so-fragile-yet-so-powerful voice of Elizabeth Fraser. The first tour I did with Dead Can Dance was around Holland supporting Cocteau Twins in 1983 and I never missed the opportunity to get out in the audience after we came off stage and catch their entire set - Liz was always captivating. The combination of her singing with Massive Attack providing the backdrop is a real dream team moment, and I think this would probably be my all-time number one single.
