If you’ve been following my other recommendations, you’ve probably notice they are predominantly trance tracks. This time around, I’m throwing a curve ball and going with a bit of downtempo/trip-hop.

Massive Attack have been a favourite of mine for quite some time now. I always seem to pop on their album and just relax listening through each track with ease. The song I have recommended here is Teardrop from the album Mezzanine. The song was released in 1998 and peaked at number 10 on the UK charts. The song might be old, but it’s timeless. It was then again made popular when it became the theme song to the popular TV show House.

Other Mixes:
Scream Team Remix
Mad Professor Mazaruni Instrumental Mix

There have also been quite a few covers of this song performed by various music groups. Most have only been performed live and finding a bootlegged copy is quite hard to find.

Covers:
Mika (BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge)
Incubus (live)
Our Lady Peace (live)
Elbow (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and recorded)
Jamie Cullum (live)
