Definitely a classic track. And to think they sampled some of the strings from Henryk Gorecki's 'Symphony No.3'.
Unfinished Sympathy will no doubt stand the test of time. It still brings a chills up my spine when I hear it.

'Unfinished Sympathy' remain one of the nicest track ever on the heads of the specialists. The original version mixtures downtempo beats, warm chords and lovely soulful vocals of Shara Nelson with wild grooves, hip hop and dub sounds. The best version, though, is the timeless remix of Paul Oakenfold, who had been into the english hip hop scene, with evident influences of the genre and a more organic bass, surely representing the highest moment of his career. The Soul element and the strings of the tune make it more intense, unique.

Even the video to this song was legendary. A single long shot of Shara Nelson walking through a street and up some apartment stairs.
It was promptly ripped-off by shoe-gazing miseries The Verve some years later for their video for 'Bittersweet Symphony'

An absolute masterpiece, one of THE records of, not only the massive dance scene in the early 90's, but the whole decade. Shara Nelsons superb vocals coupled with the Bristol Massive's talent at producing ground breaking music and virtually inventing the 'trip hop' sound means this record is a winner, in a MASSIVE way.

Hey. Not only this track is great but think about it. Break + piano + strings..It's the recipe Moby is using since 1998 and he never never reached the first little nail of Massive Attack... 1991! Wow!
