Massive Attack is a collaborative British music production group hailing from Bristol, England. The band, currently consisting of Robert Del Naja, Tricky, and Daddy G, was originally formed with the inclusion of Andrew Vowles. Their name was inspired by a slogan spray-painted by New York graffiti artist Brim in 1985. Initially adopted as a record label name, it later became the band's official moniker. During the Gulf War in 1991, their releases were labeled as 'Massive' to ensure continued airplay amidst pressure from the British Government.

The group emerged alongside fellow graffiti artists Balogun and Bio from TATS CRU in NYC. They collectively created pieces at the Malcolm X Centre in St. Paul's, Bristol. Renowned graffiti artist [a151718], known then as 3-D, played a significant role in adopting and popularizing the Massive Attack slogan.

With an influential presence in the music industry since their formation, Massive Attack continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their unique sound and innovative approach to music production.

No Protection is the result of Massive Attack reaching out to UK dub legend, Mad Professor for a remix of a single track. Liking what they heard, the trio asked Mad Professor to remix the entire album. The outcome is No Protection, a track by track dub remix that removed most of the vocals, and heavily edited the original material to form a slow, pulsating mix. Here the emphasis is solely on the beat and reverb, making for a hypnotic take on the legendary album. Pressed on 180G vinyl.
