(LONDON) - U.K. dance pioneers Massive Attack step up activity in the territory with the release of two albums by baby acts on their own Melankolic label. Come From Heaven, the debut by Alpha, a duo from Massive's hometown of Bristol, is due Sept. 15, while Craig Armstrong, a former Texas, the Big Dish, and Hipsway member, bows in October with The Space Between Us. Armstrong's songwriting credits include Massive Attack's "Sly." He also collaborated with Nellee Hooper on the original score for the film "Romeo + Juliet." Armstrong's orchestrally based album includes vocals by the Blue Nile's Paul Buchanan and Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.
