Here is a perfect example of Massive Attack genius with Five Man Army :

  1. the first part of the file is from Al Green (I’m Glad You’re Mine)
  2. the second one from Lewin Bones Lock (Five Man Army Dub)
  3. mix the drums of Al Green with the bass line of Lewin Bones Lock
  4. add the deep voice of DaddyG
  5. invite Tricky to sing, and Horace Andy to play with his legendary voice
  6. here we are, you get Five Man Army (the third part), a great hit of Massive’s Blue Lines album :)

The result of this Massive Attack sampling work is really amazing, the atmosphere is radically different. To learn more on Massive Attack inspirations, listen to the “Protected: Massive Samples” compilation.
