 Trip hop pioneers Massive Attack were today honoured with the Q Innovation In Sound title at the 2008 Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka.
The duo - Robert Del Naja (3D) and Grant Marshall (Daddy G) – were rewarded for their groundbreaking approach to music-making by Q magazine.
 Founded in the late 1980s, Massive Attack released their first album Blue Lines – an acknowledged classic in 1991 and have constantly reinvented their sound and approach, working with collaborators such as Shara Nelson, Tricky, Sinead O’Connor and even Madonna along the way.
Collecting the award, Del Naja said: "For a couple of guys that can’t play any instruments and can’t make music, we’ve been innovating for fucking years and getting away with it. Thanks very much.”
Last year’s winner of the innovation in sound title was composer David Arnold. |
