    This album paints so many pictures and was the soundtrack to my burning man journey in 97... Given to me by a friend who couldn't stop talking about it- I became equally transfixed. So many textures and their vocal melodies and lyrics- so beautiful.
    Similar to the other comments here- I can't believe this album was huge as Portisshead. "Come from Heaven" - Sure sounds like it did. :-)

      One of <b>the</b> most underrated albums of the whole "trip hop" genre. But <i>Come From Heaven</i> easily transcends that rather limiting label. As, aptly, the first release on Massive Attack's Melankolic label, the best description of the songs on it would be "liquid torch songs." Undeniably gorgeous, emotionally stunning, full of pathos and strength and longing. "Sometime Later" and its sister song, "Somewhere Not Here," will break your heart ten different ways. Even the upbeat songs like "Rain" and "Delaney" have a tinge of melancholy to them. Definitely one of my favorites of all time.
