Found this little press release which I thought some of you might find amusing..... 3-D of MASSIVE ATTACK and Liam Howlett of THE PRODIGY do soundtrack for Private! In an unprecedented move, 3-D of Massive Attack and Liam Howlett from The Prodigy are to contribute tracks to 'The Uranus Experiment: Part Two', the explicit x-rated successor to the first-ever adult movie to feature scenes filmed with sci-fi special effects. Released in June, with the option of hardcore or softcore versions, 'The Uranus Experiment: Part Two' will feature 'an astronaut/alien orgy' and confirms the status of Private Media Group Inc. as the leading adult entertainment company in the world and the only such company to achieve a stock market listing on the prestigious Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq: PRVT) in the USA. Formed in 1987, Bristol's Massive Attack have garnered a reputation as one of the most repected outfits on the club and dance scenes and their most recent album, Mezzanine, was critically acclaimed the world over for its sophisticated groove sensibility. The band are also acknowledged influences on acts such as Portishead, and remixed U2's 'Mysterious Ways' single. Massive Attack won 'Best Video' at the 1998 MTV Europe awards for 'Tear Drop'. Rapper '3D' is also a recognised graffitti artist who has had the distinction of having his work exhibited in art galleries. The Prodigy, MTV USA award winners in 1998 for 'Best Dance Video'and 'Best Breakthrough Video', possess a combination of raw power and attitude that has seen them leap to the forefront of the techno scene. Never shy of controversy, especially with videos like 'Smack My Bitch Up', The Prodigy's latest album The Fat Of The Land received ecstatic reviews and became a huge hit. Liam Howlett writes most of the band's compositions and is a major factor behind the group's distinctive style.
