Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

there has probably been a few threads about this track but it deserves a few more, it is simply one of the best songs ever written. Shara Nelson delivers a vocalperformance that is heartstopping, mixed with a great stringarrangement it's just magic. great video aswell


not that it has a single patch on the original but worth checking out is nellee hooper remix which adds a different arrangement, a groovy beat and some extra backupvocal, presumably from some of the female members of hooper's soul II soul collective.

A timeless classic and amazing tune.
The strings alone are incredible. The voice, the drum loop in the background (gold star for anyone who can name the sample).
Video was shot in one take too...

ps... possibly one of the most valuable and collectable acetates I own...




Sorry about the photo..flash got a bit carried away. Its a minor shame its a 7" acetate instead of a 12", but I am certainly not complaining..

I don't think there's any need to make a thread about this track. Anyone who doesn't know it's a classic obviously has their head buried too deeply into the sand to use a computer in the first place.

In a league of it's own. And the 'one-take' video suits it perfectly.

It's okay, but I'd put many other Massive Attack tracks above it.
