  • @mattcotsell2762

    There was confusion on the day as to who would headline. Originally it was Bjork then she said was gonna play early so she could watch Goldies set (they were dating) we all be came to watch her and were told she had decided to stay as headliner (no doubt contractual wrangling meant she couldn't change) so Massive Attack came on and to be honest there was a feeling if minor disappointment but the sun was setting, they had this beautiful golden light on them and they not only won the crowd over with their set, they outperformed Bjork. This track was the obvious highlight. A real shiver down the spine moment.

      It is undoubtedly a true masterpiece for various reasons. Maybe it’s just my own personal feelings but despite it being a completely different style and theme it has numerous only subtle but still respectful nods to another absolute masterpiece that wowed me in exactly the same way as this track did when I first heard it as young boy…West End Girls. Another one of those relatively rare songs that no matter what taste of music people were into, genuine music lovers found it very hard to dislike or criticise it.
