Black Milk

Submitted By: Big D

In 1998 Manfred Mann sued Massive Attack for unauthorized use of a sample of the song "Tribute" from Manfred Mann's Earth Band's eponymous 1972 album, used in "Black Milk". The song has subsequently appeared as "Black Melt" on later releases and at live performances, with the notable absence of the sample.

Teardrop (featuring Elizabeth Fraser of The Cocteau Twins)
|
Submitted By: Big D
|
|
A combination of non-vocal portions of "Teardrop" serve as the theme song for the American broadcasts of House, a medical television series. The song opens with a bass drum beat that is reminiscent of a heartbeat, lending itself easily to the show's medical theme.

Unfinished Sympathy

The video for "Unfinished Sympathy" was directed by Baillie Walsh, and filmed in January 1991 on West Pico Boulevard between S. New Hampshire Avenue and Dewey Avenue in Los Angeles, California. It features Shara Nelson walking along the sidewalk, unaware or uncaring of her surroundings, which includes drunks, gangs, bikers and the three members of Massive Attack (Robert Del Naja, Grant Marshall and Andrew Vowles). It was one of the earliest music videos to use one continuous shot. The video was later paid homage to in the music video for The Verve's song "Bitter Sweet Symphony".
