In London on a dark winters night and it needed a sound track. Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack perfectly captures the London night vibe of the early 1990's, when I first move here..
The track is Bristol Trip Hop and the video was from LA. It remains a masterpiece and extremely evocative of a time and a place that anyone living in London (or the UK) at the time will look fondly on...
This is a fabulously complex and innovative piece of music that forever had me thinking "how the hell did they even write this?". But the wonders of the Youtube rabbit hole provides answers...
Obviously, deconstructing a track is not the same as the incredible talent, vision and innovation that was required to create it and forever change music... but nevertheless, it is eye opening as to the complexity of creativity that went into it. Enjoy a perfect Sunday track...
