Concert review: Massive Attack are in the Zenith in the wrong place

On Tuesday night there was in the Zenith of great Trip-Hop-Electro-art. However, with the concert by Massive Attack, not everyone came out very clearly - unfortunately. A Criticism.

Munich - Who will be looking at coughing at a classical concert, or even ruin, at least wrong. Goes out do not throw it, but it would be nice. Would have been a Massive Attack in the sold-out Zenith on Tuesday evening is also nice.

Massive Attack by Mastermind Robert Del Naja and Grantley Marshall (also a founding member in 1987) are not a Band for background music. Even if some of their compositions can be used again and again, and you push yourself on the stage in the Background. Massive Attack are to listen and Think for themselves. The falls, admittedly, not easily, the concentration of a nearly 90-minute concert. "Mezzanine XXI" is the name of your current Tour, a throwback to 20 years ago (in 1998) released the Album "Mezzanine". That was and is until today a great Trip-Hop-Electro-art. Unreal, and yet really. Sometimes, even disturbing.

concert Massive Attack in the Zenith is not an easy diet

concert Massive Attack mix the Songs of their album with cover versions of gentle protest song ("Where have all the flowers gone") to Punk ("Bela Lugosi's Dead" and "Rockwrok"). With this change from soft to hard and back of each is not clear on this night, in the Zenith. Not even with the movies and the messages that flicker on the big screen behind the stage. In English, such as "This is now your world", "You can be anything", also "We the people" and "We are more". Massive Attack, the former Trio and now a Duo from Bristol, supported on stage by five musicians, was and is not easy to digest.

But, above all, on their Album "Mezzanine" Massive Attack disturbing and hauntingly beautiful at the same time. Like the time 20 years ago, are today, a guest singer, Horace Andy and Elizabeth Fraser. The Scottish singer still sounds like an angel when she sings "Teardrops". Since you want to wegschweben preferably, for example, on the Isar river, stand on the shore and listen. Without the chatter, all alone. Maybe a tip for next Time: Massive Attack should play in the Philharmonie in the Gasteig. There is no one dares to disturb the silence. In a Standing venue like the Zenith they do not work, music and pictures are too demanding.
