MASSIVE ATTACK – Masterpiece Debut ‘BLUE LINES’ Came Out 35 Years Ago Today

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

8 April 2026

British trip-hop heroes MASSIVE ATTACK released their masterpiece
debut LP BLUE LINES, on 8 April 1991, today 35 years ago today.

It peaked at #13 in the UK.

NME said: “The sleekest, deadliest, most urbane, most confounding LP 1991 has
yet seen. Massive Attack put current changes on the dancefloor in perspective and
map out blueprints for what must surely come next. Soul, funk, reggae, house,
hip-hop and space-rock will be blurred forever.”

Turn Up The Volume: A ground-and-sound breaking
record. Trip-soul-hop-pop at its captivting best.

8 April 1977 & 8 April 1991 – Two Groundbreaking Debut LPs Released

8 April 2025

The politically outspoken London punk icons THE CLASH released their
staggering Self-titled Debut LP on 8 April 1977, today 48 years ago.

A historic LP and probably one of the most important punk albums of that time.
A new generation raised its voice. Loud, clear, fast, innovative and straight in the
face of the narcissistic, right-wing establishment.
