Massive Attack - Antistar

Audio is owned by Virgin Records. 100th Window is the fourth studio album from the Bristol-based trip-hop group Massive Attack. Of the band's original core trio, the album only features Robert Del Naja. Andrew Vowles departed shortly after the release of Mezzanine, and Grant Marshall refused to participate in the making of the record.
Released in February 2003, 100th Window was written and produced by Del Naja and Neil Davidge, and features vocals from Horace Andy and Sinéad O'Connor, as well as an imperceptible appearance by Damon Albarn. It is the first album by the band that made no use of samples, and contains none of the jazz or jazz fusion stylings of the band's earlier recordings.



"Antistar"

Can you lick my wounds please
Can you make it numb
And kill the pain like cortizone
And grant me intimacy
How'll we split your chromosomes

Yeah more sweet narcosis
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)

I turn a stone i'll find you there
Into reflected light i'll stare
You blind me with flash bulbs
And puzzle me with syllables

Back to sleep
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)

My heads between my knees again
Got needle set to zero
And you can shoot me hurricanes
Don't spare me the details

Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis
(i'll turn a stone i'll find you)
Yeah more sweet narcosis

More sweet
More sweet
Iconography fucks with me
You look great in bloodstains

This is mind blowing masterpiece hugely inspired by Indian raag Malahari… use of instruments and the crescendo buildup are again inspired by ancient Indian classical music! Massive attack is clearly an all time favorite with this number surely in their top three!! An unheralded genius work!!

[matthewwhite]

This has to be my all time favorite from Massive Attack the crescendo and build up is so poetic and dark, really strikes a cord in the human spirit. It's almost like the whole song is about the turmoil of the human condition.

Perfect for driving the country roads at dusk in the convertible on a summer night

4:20 The song reaches the level of genius from here to conclusion !

Most underrated album of all time I absolutely love Mezzanine, but this album is a masterpiece and a mood. Darkest album they have, but also their most beautiful to me I have listened to it so many times. The string arrangements are divine and my personal favorite is the closer Antistar. I recommend everyone watch the live version the violin is so heavenly

I Pray for a reunion 20 years later (for this album). Mezzanine was good, but this is the masterpiece.

2003 тий год, а это до сих пор наикрутейшая вещь, подобно которой я не слышал 20 лет. Мэссивы окуенные!

[doublebrain]

Beautiful Artwork. MA at its best for sure. I Love this psychedelic Symphony!

An antistar is like a normal star, but composed entirely or antimatter.

This track crept into my head yesterday in the midst of strenuous activity, having forgotten what it was other than Massive Attack. I immediately thought this is what Dervish or Sufi music would sound like even though I know basically nothing about such music.
