Reviews
Tremendously rich bass/low end. While I do enjoy the reissue recently done at Optimal, personally I think the sound here is like no other version I've heard. Worth tracking down a clean original.
Concur with earlier comments. Much better than the cd, more immersive with richer soundscape. Essential.- My expectations for mid- to late-nineties vinyl pressings are admittedly low but this record has far surpassed them. The VG+ copy I picked up at a record swap recently for CAN$20 sounds awesome—loads of bass and surprisingly noise-free.
Mindblowing masterpiece. This record invited me to follow the path of dub. Since then many other dub CD's and records follow from many other label, like Dubmission, On-U Sound, Mania Dub, Alpha & Omega Records, Blood & Fire, etc. . . . My advice, give this record a try. Turn up the volume up to 12, but beware of the bass ! ! ! - It may kill your Speakers. ;-)
Poor packaging but sounds superb. Have not listened to the new remaster yet to compare.
Add this CD to your wants list and the next time you place an order with someone and see they are selling this just buy it. It's cheap as chips on cd and should be heard. Whether you like Massive Attack, Mad Professor, Dub, downtempo, the warmer sound of trip-hop, deep house, organic sounding electronic music you will benefit from giving this a listen. I put on it when I want something that is just warm and gentle in the background. I've fallen asleep to this whilst chilling on the sofa. That's not to say that it's boring, it isn't. It's just a very specific mood that floats and takes you away somewhere. It helps relax my mind and unwind me.
Mad Professor has taken the whole of MA's Protection album and remixed/re-produced it. All the elements are stretched out, the songs deconstructed and echoed out into a warm blanket of sound.
For the cost of a quid just buy it :-)
Brilliant.
Mad Professor at his best.
Remix better than the original.
Some crazy prices here (upwards of A$100) especially given that the repress is great quality and is available Mint at a fraction of the price - https://www.discogs.com/Massive-Attack-V-Mad-Professor-No-Protection/release/9442827- For everyone after this a reissue is coming out December 2016
