The Wild Bunch signed a record deal and evolved into Massive Attack, a core collective of 3D, Mushroom and Daddy G, with significant contributions from Tricky Kid ( soon shortened to Tricky ) and Hooper on production duties, along with a rotating cast of other vocalists.

Massive Attack released their second album entitled Protection in 1994.

The term trip hop was coined that year, but not in reference to anything on the Massive Attack albums.

More significantly, the period marked the debut of two acts who, along with Massive Attack, would define the Bristol scene for years to come.

Their background differed from Massive Attack in many ways: one of Portishead's primary influences was 1960s and ' 70s film soundtrack LPs.

Nevertheless, Portishead shared the scratchy, jazz-sample-based aesthetic of early Massive Attack ( who Barrow had briefly worked with during the recording of Blue Lines ), and the sullen, fragile vocals of Gibbons also brought them wide acclaim.

Within a year Tricky had released two more full-length albums which were considered even more challenging, without finding the same popularity as his Bristol contemporaries Massive Attack and Portishead.

After the success of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky albums in 1994 and 1995, a new generation of trip hop artists emerged with a more standardized sound.

Massive Attack released Heligoland in 2010, their first album in over half a decade.

However, there are notable exceptions ; Massive Attack has collaborated with male and female singers.

This may be partly due to the fact that several acts were inspired by post punk bands ; Tricky and Massive Attack both covered and sampled songs of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cure.

Eventually he met DJ Milo and hung out with a sound system called The Wild Bunch, which by 1987 evolved into Massive Attack.

Tricky showed " Aftermath " to Massive Attack, but they were not interested.

Tricky left Massive Attack to release his debut album, Maxinquaye.

Tricky failed to complete a number of lyrics for the Massive Attack album Protection and gave the band some of the lyrics he had written for Maxinquaye instead.

When Massive Attack were asked, in a radio interview on CFNY-FM in Toronto, about why the lyrics were the same, they jokingly said that it was because he was lazy.

The 2006 edition saw Eric Clapton, Placebo, Massive Attack, Roger Waters, Tracy Chapman and Santana play live in the Piazza Napoleone.

Some of the more famous electronic production acts include The Prodigy, Massive Attack and Orbital.

Another soundtrack appearance occurred with the song “ Watching Me Fall ” ( from the 11th The Cure ´ s album: Bloodflowers ), a remixed version by Underdog ( of Massive Attack ) for the 2000 American cult movie American Psycho.

He revealed on the BBC Radio 2 feature " Tracks of My Years " that his favourite songs are: " I Can Help " by Billy Swan, " Bleeding Love " by Leona Lewis, " Chasing Cars " by Snow Patrol, " Beautiful " by Christina Aguilera, " Unfinished Sympathy " by Massive Attack, " Tangled Up In Blue " by Bob Dylan, " Shoulda Woulda Coulda " by Beverley Knight, " This Woman's Work " by Maxwell, " He's So Fine " by The Chiffons and " Falling Slowly " by The Frames.

Massive Attack used guest vocalists, interspersed with Del Naja and Marshall's ( initially Tricky's ) own sprechgesang stylings, on top of what became regarded as an essentially British creative sampling production ; a trademark sound that fused down-tempo hip hop, soul, reggae and other eclectic references, musical and lyrical.

Massive outbreaks of mountain pine beetles in western North America after about 2005 have killed millions of acres of forest from New Mexico to British Columbia, threatening increases in mudslides, forest fires and other adverse effects.

The addition of vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen in 1994 marked an evolution in The Gathering's musical style, with the group acknowledging the growing influence of shoegaze, post rock, experimental rock and the more ethereal sounds of 4AD bands, such as Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, as well as Pink Floyd and Massive Attack ; they expanded their sound, which acquired characteristics of progressive, alternative, and trip rock and gained success and recognition beyond the European borders.

Together with the female singer Roya Arab and the young rapper Rosko John, the band released their first album " Londinium " on Island Records in 1996, a mix of dark trip hop ( in a similar vein to Massive Attack ), electronica and, naturally, their breakbeat and hardcore roots, but with the unequivocal match of string arrangements and almost baroque and classically influenced songwriting.

Other acts and styles developed from the hip hop scene, resulting in new genres to describe them-for example Massive Attack with trip hop, or Galliano US3 and Urban Species with acid jazz.

Bristol's scene ( specifically, the St. Pauls area ) produced The Wild Bunch ( later better known as Massive Attack ), and major crews like the Scratch Perverts and Smith & Mighty, and later became the home of trip hop.
