Comments

While it progresses on its fifth studio album, influential British rock act Massive Attack has set an April 4 release for the retrospective "Collected." The Virgin set features one regular audio CD and a second DualDisc with audio content on one side and a DVD on the other.

Disc one rounds up tracks selected by members of the group, including such favorites as "Teardrop," "Angel," "Safe From Harm," "Unfinished Sympathy" and "Butterfly Caught." Also featured is a new single, "Live With Me," which boasts vocals by Terry Callier. A video was recently shot by Jonathan Glazer (Radiohead, Richard Ashcroft).

The audio content on the second disc features a host of rarities. Among them is an alternate version of the "100th Window" track "Incantations," an "unfinished/unstarted" track featuring the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, the Damon Albarn collaboration "Small Time Shoot Em Up" and a cover of Bad Brains' "I Against I" with Mos Def. The accompanying DVD gathers 16 music videos, including two for "Live With Me."
