Nature Of Threat

Overview

Nature Of Threat --- 2000-11-08

Nature Of Threat was the only fully finished song from the Ridge Farm/Lupine Howl sessions, that was recorded earlier in 2000, that was ever made public. While it is debatable rather or not, any of this seemingly abandoned material ever crept into later Massive Attack work (such as they two soundtrack projects, Danny The Dog and Bullet Boy respectively), this song certainly gives us an indication of the direction they were going in, in their immediate post-Mezzanine period. The version of Nature Of Threat that was released, was at one point a possible contender for Massive Attack's fouth album (either that or a possible film project that never happened), before 3D realised in early 2001, that the Ridge Farm/Lupine Howl sessions as a whole would not work as the foundation for the fourth album and had to be largely scrapped. Even if Nature Of Threat, had somehow made it's way onto the fourth album, it would have sounded different to this version, as 3D stated that this version was still only a sketch that needed further mixing and refinement.
