Future-proof

I'm going to make one of those bold over-reaching statements i often make and can never usually justify. The only difference this time is the fact that i actually cant imagine too many of you disagreeing with me here and i can completely justify this dcision.

The best album of 2010 is without a doubt going to be Massive Attack's 'Heligoland'. Now, to justify this statemnt here are a few simple facts.

Firstly, Damon Albarn is providing vocals, considering the sounds he created with both 'Think Tank' and 'The Good, The Bad and The Queen' this can only lead to amazin things.

Secondly, Martina Topley-Bird is also providing vocals and she has also already worked with Damon Albarn in Gorillaz and her far-away lullaby voice will suit Massive Attack perfectly.

And finally, remember the best Radio Live Lounge track ever? when Elbow covered 'Teardrop'? Well Guy Garvey is also going to be dropping in on the Album.

Plus Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja were nominated for an Oscar for their soundtrack for the mostly unknown 'Trouble The Water' in 2008.

Until February your going to have to make do with this, Joy Orbison absolutely smashing the beat.
