The Massive Attack of the Paradise Circus

It may be a Monday, but I'm starting off this week by hitting you with a classic.

Massive Attack's newest album Heligoland is a must have for any sort of techno dj with a taste in music. The biggest track on the album, Paradise Circus, is one that I have to talk about. Especially the Gui Boratto remix.

This song has the strangest feel to it. It's not something you'd expect. It's chill with a certain appeal. The beat may be slow but the minute the voice of Hope Sandoval pops in, it immediately injects a certain aroma. The aroma of a very drunk, yet appealing flavour. Again, it's nothing you'd expect. Her sensual voice takes you a journey and you have no idea where you're headed. Exactly like the line says, "But we like it when we're spinning", we are lost, confused and caught up in the haze of that extraordinary voice. The idea of being lost and having no idea where you're headed instantly captures the listener and brings them to a whirlwind of emotions and leaves them rested and soothed. As the song approaches an end, the pace of the beat begins to increase and reaches a sort of climax and again just drops to the original beat.

Give it a good listen and you'll be astonished as to what this song may do to you. Hit me up with comments as to how it makes you feel.

Happy Monday people!
