Massive Attack is a band from Bristol, England. They have released eight albums - four full studio albums, two movie soundtracks, one remix album, and a greatest hits collection. Their music is electronic and combines elements of jazz, hip hop, rock, classical into music that is often named as trip-hop and other genres; lately darker, subtler forms of electronic music have been dominant influences.
Massive Attack are constant collaborators and have worked with an extremely diverse mix of artists, from Sinéad O'Connor to reggae star Horace Andy to Madonna and they were one of the first artists to record non-traditional fusion music with Qawwali master, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Their work has also been used in many feature films and television shows, including The Matrix, 24, and House. They also now own a members-only club, Nocturne, located in their hometown of Bristol.
History
Early Work
Massive Attack began as an offshoot of the Bristol art community The Wild Bunch. Although their lineup has shifted over the years, they originally had three members, Robert Del Naja ("3D"), Grant Marshall ("Daddy G") and Andrew Vowles ("Mushroom"). In 1988 they released their first single "Any Love," followed in 1991 by their first album, Blue Lines, featuring the hit singles "Unfinished Sympathy" and "Daydreaming." The album was well-received both critically and commercially, with some polls calling "Unfinished Sympathy" one of the best songs of all time. * Blue Lines subsequently became one of the most influential British records of the 1990s, ushering in a new genre of music sometimes referred to as the "Bristol sound," but more often labelled trip hop, which Massive Attack have said they dislike.

Checking out Massive Attack as potential coding music. Like @coates, I'll probably like it for its association with House. :)
