This box set is, for lack of a better word, massive. All 11 Massive Attack singles from "Blue Lines", "Protection" and "Mezzanine" are collected here, complete with B-sides and a host of remixes. A quick breakdown of why this is a worthy addition to any MA fan's record collection.

Outstanding Remixes
1. Daydreaming (Luv It Mix)
2. Daydreaming (Brixton Bass Mix)
3. Safe From Harm (Perfecto Mix)
4. Protection (Underdog's Angel Dust Mix)
5. Karmacoma (Portishead Experience)
6. Karmacoma (Napoli Trip)
7. Risingson (Underworld Mix)
8. Teardrop (Scream Team Remix)
9. Inertia Creeps (Manic Street Preachers Version)
10. Back/She Comes (Mad Professor)

Premium B-Sides
1. Any Love
2. Home of the Whale
3. Superpredators

Excellent Overall Singles
1. Daydreaming
2. Safe From Harm
3. Hymn of the Big Wheel
4. Teardrop
5. Inertia Creeps

Hidden Treasures
1. Any Love (Larry Heard Remix)
2. Be Thankful For What You've Got (Perfecto Mix)

The heat-sensitive packaging is excellent, and the only misfire I can think of is the Blur remix of Angel. An excellent representation of the evolution of MA, this collection is a treat for diehards and casual fans alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can I get a witness!, March 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Singles 90-98 (Audio CD)

I know its all singles, that you've heard; from albums, that you have; and a bit pricey, and that you're poor. I can't help it though, the truth must be told, and this is indispensibly brilliant. There is no way a fan should not have this. Sometimes you get that same thrill like the first time you heard the Massive, or when you heard the new song you'd been aching for--and this from songs you've probably heard a thousand times by now. Even the less-than-spectacular remixes are great. Just wait until you hear the awesome ones.

I just wanted to confirm for those of you on the fence: Yes. Neccessary.

And I think the Blur remix is COOL...

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Neon, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Singles 90-98 (Audio CD)

I'd say this is a good collection for the B-Sides alone, especially if you don't feel like hunting down out of print singles. Euro Zero Zero is a pretty cool remake of "Eurochild" from Protection. It's not as good as the original, at least I think it isn't, but that probably wasn't the point of remaking it anyway. But "Reflection," though, that's one of Massive Attack's coolest songs! From the Inertia Creeps single, Reflection is a little more rocking and faster than most MA songs, almost to the point where it sounds like they had Trent Reznor or some other industrial rock guy in the studio with them. The Inertia Creeps single also gives us the excellent Manic Street Preachers remix of Inertia Creeps, which in some ways outdoes the original, probably due to all of the variation the Preachers added into their mix, ie the guitars and la-la backing vocals, whereas the original version of the song is kinda the same beat and music over and over. Don't get me wrong, Inertia Creeps is one of MA's best songs, off of my favortie MA album, and I've been following them since Blue Lines came out. I mean, the guys really can't do wrong. Still miss hearing Tricky trade rhymes with 3-D, though. Oh well, buy this, you'll like it!
