No Protection is the name of a dub remix of Massive Attack's Protection album, done by the English reggae producer Mad Professor.
[edit] Sound
Mad Professor heavily edits the original material (Massive Attack's Protection album) to form a slow, pulsating mix in which the beat is emphasized, reverb is extensively used and the occasional vocals (many of the tracks are almost entirely instrumental) fade in-and-out in typical dub fashion, making a hypnotic (if slightly repetitive) mix. The result is arguably more textured than the original, in which many of the tracks were rather sparse for a typical Massive Attack production. No Protection loses any sense of the jazzy feel of Protection, although that is to be expected on a dub remix album.
[edit] Miscellanea
In the film High Fidelity, John Cusack's character Rob puts "Radiation Ruling the Nation" on his list of 'Top 5 Track Ones Side Ones,' to which Jack Black's character Barry responds "A song with new classic status snuck into a list of old safe ones - very PUSSY!"
