Massive Attack

I gotta tell you guys something for the, uh, for the GLO folks that you're gonna love.

Um, we had hacked up a, a early version of Magic Leap Graffiti with a member of the band Massive Attack.

I don't know if you guys are Massive Attack fans.

Oh, yeah.

But-

Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, Tan Kiat Hau, told Parliament that several performances touching on the Israel-Gaza conflict have been approved.

He was responding to questions after two members of British band Massive Attack were warned and banned from re-entering Singapore for displaying a Palestinian flag during a concert here in July.

In world news, Iran-aligned Houthi forces have seized the Yemeni port city of Mocha and moved closer to a major shipping route in the Red Sea.

Mocha's capture gives the group more influence over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key route for global trade and oil shipments.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Massive Attack-

Yeah

... have been a hugely formative, uh, band for myself.

It's influenced and it's so broad.

You know, like you said before, like Massive Attack and like the darker elements of dance music have kind of been at the bedrock of this...

Only because I was being so euphoric and Ibiza heavy in the last project.

So I wanted to also service my emo side.

Speaking in Parliament, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat Hau says Singapore cannot be used by foreigners to further political causes.

His comments come after British band Massive Attack displayed a Palestinian flag at their concert in July and were later banned from re-entering Singapore.

He says there have been performances with a social cause that were allowed to take place and that regulations are also in place to protect young people.

Travellers flying between Singapore and Sydney will have another airline option from early next year.

Um, but then you had Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana.

There was also electronic stuff like Massive Attack, DJ Shadow.

Then, of course, the vocal thing from the Beach Boys, and also I was hugely into the Smile stuff where they did really interesting arrangements.

You know, they were fusing together different sections.

I could listen to this song forever.

Massive Attack Protection.

Definitely a song that I've taken a lot of influence on my new music.

Trip Hop.

Just sounds so English and dark.

The piano is beautiful as well.

Another song that I've taken a lot of influence from, we're taking a bit of a left turn now, but when I started creating this album that I've written, not released yet, I was really intrigued as to what the worlds of Pink Floyd and The Alchemist and Massive Attack would create as if they were sort of to collide.

I'm not sure whether I achieved that by any stretch.
