Massive Attack is a collaborative British music production group from Bristol, England. They are best known for their debut single and the one-camera-shot-video for "Unfinished Sympathy", which featured Shara Nelson on vocals. At the time of release, they shortened their name to "Massive" tio avoid controversy relating to the Gulf War. They returned to being "Massive Attack" for their next single, "Safe from Harm". They also scored a UK Dance #1 with "Risingson" in 1997. Other top 20 hits include "Protection" and Teardrop".
