Let there be no mistake - Massive Attack are back in a big way.

Arguably their fourth album "100th Window" was a shadow of the classic Mezzanine.  Never dull, yet never quite as inspired as the dark beats of Mezzanine and the lightness of Blue Lines, notwithstanding the stand-out title track featuring Sinead O'Connor.

New single "Splitting the Atom" is as close to Mezzanine as you are likely to get from the band. With a fat beat and inspired use of technology, "Splitting the Atom" jolts your mood like travelling on an empty train through the woods of Northern Europe.    

This is Massive Attack at their most sublime.  "Splitting the Atom" takes your breath away.

10/10
