About
Protection is the second studio album by English electronic music group Massive Attack, released on September 26, 1994 by Wild Bunch Records and Circa. Like most of Massive Attack's albums, the music often defies categorisation, ranging from R&B to hip hop/rap to reggae-tinged synth-pop to classical-influenced electronica instrumentals. The album follows Blue Lines structurally, to the point that the font used on the cover of the album is the same, Helvetica Heavy Italic. The album cover also nods to Blue Lines, revealing a futuristic, impenetrable wall behind a mostly-burned version of this previous album's artwork—implying that the depicted "flammable gas" had been ignited.
