Massive Attack feat. Tracy Thorn - Protection

Easing the tempo a little, Protection is a sublime combination of Massive Attack and Tracey Thorn, she of Everything But The Girl fame. The chilled beat is perfectly suited to Tracey's voice. Even though she isn't sure as to whether she's a girl or a boy (her hair is quite short, but I was pretty sure that she was a girl when I saw her live), this track is so good that it's in Everything But The Girl's live set, and made it onto compilations from both bands.
