█▀░░ PsyCZ group was formed in spring 2001 by its first three members ... ░░▀█
█▀░ But as every group grows and gets new members, new people joined PsyCZ ░▀█
█▀░ to help us in our mission. Our main common loved genere was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ ... of course, but everone of us likes several more genres. This caused, ░▀█
█▀░ that several members began to demand releasing other music styles such ░▀█
█▀░ as ambient, drum&bass and few more ... So we realized, that our original ░▀█
█▀░ name PsyCZ is a little uncomfortable, because it highlights our psy - ░▀█
█▀░ sight. After few days of debates we decided to found new sub-group ... ░▀█
█▀░ and here we are ... PsyCZ_NP will bring you plenty of non psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ music ... especially ambient, but some other genres are planned too. ░▀█
█▀░ Why did we decide for non-psy? Changing of the group name isn't possible ░▀█
█▀░ so possibilities we had was only adding a suffix to current group name ░▀█
█▀░░ ... so have chosen non-psy, because it's clearest and most fluent ... ░░▀█

█▀║ : : ║▀█
█▀║ By the time Massive Attack release their new killer album "100th ║▀█
█▀║ Window", we suggest it will bring them many of new fans, who would be ║▀█
█▀║ eventually looking also for the older albums. We take this oportunity ║▀█
█▀║ to bring you the previous album, Mezzanine, which sounds quite similar ║▀█
█▀║ to the new one, and in fact started this new Massive Attack's style. ║▀█
█▀║ Enjoy! ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Artist Info: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ The pioneering force behind the rise of trip-hop, Massive Attack was ║▀█
█▀║ among the most innovative and influential groups of their generation; ║▀█
█▀║ their hypnotic sound - a darkly sensual and cinematic fusion of ║▀█
█▀║ hip-hop rhythms, soulful melodies, dub grooves, and choice samples - ║▀█
█▀║ set the pace for much of the dance music to emerge throughout the ║▀█
█▀║ 1990s, paving the way for such acclaimed artists as Portishead, ║▀█
█▀║ Sneaker Pimps, Beth Orton, and Tricky, himself a Massive Attack ║▀█
█▀║ alumnus. Their history dates back to 1983 and the formation of the ║▀█
█▀║ Wild Bunch, one of the earliest and most successful sound system/DJ ║▀█
█▀║ collectives to arrive on the U.K. music scene; renowned for their ║▀█
█▀║ seamless integration of a wide range of musical styles from punk to ║▀█
█▀║ reggae to R&B, the group's parties quickly became can't-miss events ║▀█
█▀║ for the Bristol club crowd, and at the peak of their popularity they ║▀█
█▀║ drew crowds so enormous that the local live music scene essentially ║▀█
█▀║ ground to a halt. ║▀█
█▀║ When the Wild Bunch folded during the mid-1980s, two of its members - ║▀█
█▀║ Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles and "Daddy G" Marshall - teamed with local ║▀█
█▀║ grafitti artist 3D (born Robert Del Naja) to form Massive Attack in ║▀█
█▀║ 1987; another Wild Bunch alum, Nellee Hooper, split his time between ║▀█
█▀║ the new group and his other project, Soul II Soul. The group's first ║▀█
█▀║ single, "Daydreaming," appeared in 1990; it featured the sultry vocals ║▀█
█▀║ of singer Shara Nelson and raps by Tricky, another onetime Wild Bunch ║▀█
█▀║ collaborator. The classic "Unfinished Sympathy" followed, as did ║▀█
█▀║ another compelling effort, "Safe From Harm." Finally, in 1991 Massive ║▀█
█▀║ Attack issued their debut LP, Blue Lines; while by no means a huge ║▀█
█▀║ commercial success, the record was met with major critical praise, and ║▀█
█▀║ was dubbed an instant classic in many quarters. Nelson, featured on ║▀█
█▀║ many of the album's most memorable tracks, exited for a solo career ║▀█
█▀║ soon after, and the group then confusingly changed their name to ║▀█
█▀║ simply "Massive" to avoid any implication of approval for the U.N.'s ║▀█
█▀║ policy towards Iraq; in the wake of the disastrous U.S. tour that ║▀█
█▀║ followed, many were quick to write the band off right then and there. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ After a three-year layoff, Massive Attack - their full name now ║▀█
█▀║ properly reinstated - resurfaced with Protection; again working with ║▀█
█▀║ Hooper and Tricky, they also brought into the fold vocalist Nicolette, ║▀█
█▀║ as well as Everything But the Girl's Tracey Thorn. Three singles - ║▀█
█▀║ "Karmacoma," "Sly," and the title track - were released from the LP, ║▀█
█▀║ which was also remixed in its entirety by the Mad Professor and issued ║▀█
█▀║ as No Protection. A lengthy tour followed, and over the next several ║▀█
█▀║ years, Massive Attack's solo work was primarily confined to remixes ║▀█
█▀║ for artists including Garbage; they also worked with Madonna on a ║▀█
█▀║ track for a Marvin Gaye tribute album. Finally, to promote their ║▀█
█▀║ appearance at the annual Glastonbury music festival, the group issued ║▀█
█▀║ a new EP, Risingson, during the summer of 1997. The third full-length ║▀█
█▀║ Massive Attack effort, Mezzanine, appeared in mid-1998; in addition to ║▀█
█▀║ reggae singer Horace Andy, making his third consecutive LP appearance ║▀█
█▀║ with the group, vocal chores were handled by the Cocteau Twins' ║▀█
█▀║ Elizabeth Fraser and newcomer Sara Jay. Mezzanine became a cult hit ║▀█
█▀║ among critics, clubs and the college crowds, spinning successful ║▀█
█▀║ singles such as "Teardrop" and "Inertia Creeps." A tour of America and ║▀█
█▀║ Europe followed, but Vowles left the band after disagreeing with the ║▀█
█▀║ artistic direction of Mezzanine. Del Naja and Marshall continued as a ║▀█
█▀║ duo, later working with the likes of David Bowie and the Dandy ║▀█
█▀║ Warhols, but Marshall later took a leave of absence to raise his ║▀█
█▀║ family; producer Neil Davidge took up the slcak. In February 2003, ║▀█
█▀║ after a five-year wait, Massive Attack released their fourth album, ║▀█
█▀║ 100th Window, including collaborations with mainstay Horace Andy as ║▀█
█▀║ well as Sinéad O'Connor. ║▀█

█▀║ Album Info: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Increasingly ignored amidst the exploding trip-hop scene, Massive ║▀█
█▀║ Attack finally returned in 1998 with Mezzanine, a record immediately ║▀█
█▀║ announcing not only that the group was back, but that they'd recorded ║▀█
█▀║ a set of songs just as singular and revelatory as on their debut, ║▀█
█▀║ almost a decade back. It all begins with a stunning one-two-three-four ║▀█
█▀║ punch: "Angel," "Risingson," "Teardrop," and "Inertia Creeps." ║▀█
█▀║ Augmenting their samples and keyboards with a studio band, Massive ║▀█
█▀║ Attack open with "Angel," a stark production featuring pointed beats ║▀█
█▀║ and a distorted bass line that frames the vocal (by group regular ║▀█
█▀║ Horace Andy) and a two-minute flame-out with raging guitars. ║▀█
█▀║ "Risingson" is a dense, dark feature for Massive Attack themselves (on ║▀█
█▀║ production as well as vocals), with a kitchen sink's worth of dubby ║▀█
█▀║ effects and reverb. "Teardrop" introduces another genius collaboration ║▀█
█▀║ - with Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins - from a production unit ║▀█
█▀║ with a knack for recruiting gifted performers. The blend of earthy ║▀█
█▀║ with ethereal shouldn't work at all, but Massive Attack pull it off in ║▀█
█▀║ fine fashion. "Inertia Creeps" could well be the highlight, another ║▀█
█▀║ feature for just the core threesome. With eerie atmospherics, ║▀█
█▀║ fuzz-tone guitars, and a wealth of effects, the song could well be the ║▀█
█▀║ best production from the best team of producers the electronic world ║▀█
█▀║ had ever seen. Obviously, the rest of the album can't compete, but ║▀█
█▀║ there's certainly no sign of the side-two slump heard on Protection, ║▀█
█▀║ as both Andy and Fraser return for excellent, mid-tempo tracks ("Man ║▀█
█▀║ Next Door" and "Black Milk," respectively). ║▀█
