The Wild Bunch soundsystem became a group, and a whole city then had to live with what they made. Shara Nelson, Tricky, Horace Andy, Elizabeth Fraser, and a new argument on every album. Blue Lines invented trip-hop before the word existed, Mezzanine gave it teeth, and Protection sits between them. No filler in any of it.
