Q: Would you say it was a more complex album to make then?
RDN: "Much more, although we did it a lot quicker in the end. We spent a long time messing around with other ideas we weren’t happy with. The making of this particular incarnation of 100th Window took about six or seven months, which is obviously not a long time for us. There was a lot of complexity in the arrangements but we had a sort of thing going where we were focused and it was happening quite quickly." 17th February 2003/BBC Collective [The photo taken by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones.]
"Arturo [from Katherine Dunn's Geek Love], he's a fish boy who lives in a tank, who's got no limbs. People come for miles to listen to him enraptured. To be part of him they start to cut off bits of their limbs. This surgeon sets up in the square so people can have their limbs removed. You get this level of disciples, the most minimal are the people who've just done a finger, who sit at the back. The most extreme, who've had all their limbs cut off, are swaddled in bandages and sit at the front, rocking around and listening to every word he says. To me it's a perfect analogy for celebrity and religion. The cult of celebrity, people want to be stared at by the pop star like oxygen, like blood."
Robert "3D" Del Naja on Antistar, from X-Rayed Magazine, May 2003.

MASSIVE ATTACK // SPEED OF DARK @ 100TH WINDOW TOUR, 2004
‘Speed of Dark’ was produced during 2001/02 with intention to be included on The Matrix: Reloaded soundtrack. However, the music supervisor for the soundtrack, Jason Bentley, changed his mind and opted for the soundtrack to have a more ‘nu-metal’ vibe to it—thus leaving Massive Attack out of it completely. It eventually debuted live on their 2003/04 tour, but never received an official release thereafter.
