Though they are still readying their long-awaited fifth album, sensual trip-hoppers Massive Attack have just announced the release of another record—a greatest hits collection—due out on Virgin April 4. The two-disc retrospective, appropriately titled Collected, features an assortment of the group's singles on one CD, and a dual disc with rarities on one side and a DVD of 16 of their videos on the other. Rarities include a collaboration with Damon Albarn and a cover of Bad Brains' "I Against I" with Mos Def. For those who can't wait for new Massive Attack output, the anthology also includes a new single, "Live With Me," and its video, directed by Sexy Beast helmer Jonathan Glazer. Speaking of new Massive Attack output, the band has completed work on seven songs for their new album, titled Weather Underground and they've traveled to New York to collaborate with TV On The Radio on some of the tracks. The band plans to tour this summer, so keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of festival and headlining dates, which are still forthcoming. Tracklist for Collected: Disc 1: 01.
