Massive Attack
From Massive Wiki
Massive Attack are a musical collective from Bristol, UK, widely considered to be progenitors of the genre known as trip hop, as well as effectively being a wider collective including other musicians that they assemble. Originally DJ's Grant Marshall (Daddy G), Andrew Vowles (Mushroom) and painter-turned-MC Robert Del Naja (3D) met as members of The Wild Bunch, one of the first sound system collectives in Britain and a dominant force in the early 1980s Bristolian club scene.
Starting out as a production trio in 1988, with their independently-released song, Any Love, sung by falsetto-voiced singer-songwriter Carlton McCarthy, they later signed to Circa Records in 1990. Circa became a subsidiary of (and was later subsumed by) Virgin Records, which in turn was acquired by EMI.
Some of their most noted songs have been without choruses and have featured dramatically atmospheric dynamics, conveyed through either epic distorted guitar crescendos, lavish orchestral arrangements (like swelling, sustained strings or flourishes of grand piano) or prominent, looped/shifting basslines, often underpinned by high and exacting production values, involving sometimes painstaking digital editing and mixing. The pace of their music has often been slower than prevalent British dance music at the time. These and other psychedelic, soundtrack-like and DJist sonic techniques, formed a much-emulated style journalists began to dub "trip hop" from the mid-nineties onwards, though in an interview in 2006, G said, "'We used to hate that terminology [trip-hop] so bad,' (laughs) 'You know, as far we were concerned, Massive Attack music was unique, so to put it in a box was to pigeonhole it and to say, "Right, we know where you guys are coming from."
Career summary
Their debut album, Blue Lines (1991), was co-produced by Jonny Dollar and Cameron McVey, who also became their first manager. Massive Attack went on to critical acclaim for their ever-changing line-up of distinctive, often 'ethereal' or whispery guest vocalists, interspersed with Del Naja and Marshall's (initially Tricky's) own,'and other eclectic references, musical and lyrical.
With the coffee-table chill-out of Protection in 1994, a rather heavier, guitar-upgraded Mezzanine in 1998, and then the denser, more clinical soundscaping of Robert Del Naja's essentially solo 100th Window in 2003, Massive's overall sound grew persistently more experimental and melancholy, having a greater degree of gothic post-punk texture and moodily cinematic electronica integrated into it. The band became known for often not being able to easily get along with one another and working increasingly separately. Andrew Vowles, aka Mushroom, reluctantly and acrimoniously left Massive Attack altogether in late 1999, at the behest of his colleagues. Daddy G had also effectively left by 2001, but returned to a studio role with greater commitment in 2005, having joined the touring line-up of 2003/4, though he did produce "Live With Me", with Terry Callier, the one new track from [Disc 1 of] 2006's Collected.
A record label, Melankolic, was started back in 1995 (as an imprint of Virgin Records), but had completely folded by 2003. Over the decades, the Bristol collective have collaborated with Neneh Cherry, Madonna, David Bowie, Mos Def and Sinéad O'Connor amongst many others. Roots reggae veteran, Horace Andy has featured on all of their studio LP's.
Throughout 2009, Massive Attack completed their fifth studio LP Heligoland with production from Neil Davidge (and mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent).
The Splitting The Atom EP, featuring vocals from Massive Attack, Horace Andy, Tunde Adebimpe, Martina Topley-Bird and Guy Garvey was released on October 5 2009 to buy as a digital download and limited edition vinyl. The new album Heligoland will be released on February 8th 2010.
1988-1989: "Any Love" era (with Smith & Mighty)
Unsigned, Mushroom (Andy Vowles), Daddy G (Grant Marshall) and 3D (Robert Del Naja) put out Any Love as a single, co-produced by Bristolian double-act Smith and Mighty. Through The Wild Bunch they met Cameron McVey and Neneh Cherry.
1990-1992: Blue Lines era (with Jonny Dollar)
3D co-wrote (the rap verses of) Neneh Cherry's Manchild, which went to number one. Cameron McVey and Neneh Cherry helped them to record their first LP, '"Blue Lines'", partly in their house, and the album was released in 1991 on Virgin Records.
The album was critically acclaimed across the board. It encompassed a range of different vocalists, normal practice for an eclectic soundsystem but quite unusual for a high-profile album at that time. The singers included Horace Andy, as well as Shara Nelson, a former Wild Bunch cohort. MC's Tricky and Willie Wee, also once part of The Wild Bunch, featured, as well as Daddy G's voice on Five Man Army. Neneh Cherry sang backing vocals on environmentalist anthem, Hymn of the Big Wheel.
That year they released Unfinished Sympathy as a single [an obvious pun on Unfinished Symphony], a grandiosely string-arranged track at Abbey Road Studios, scored by Will Malone, that would go on to be voted the 10th greatest of all time, with a one-take video that also became iconic and much-imitated (by The Verve amongst others). The group shortened their name, on the advice of McVey to avoid controversy relating to the Gulf War.
They went back to being Massive Attack for their next single, Safe From Harm.
They undertook a relatively brief tour, including the United States, as a DJ / MC, hip hop-type setup, with only turntables and microphones. The tour was not particularly well received, spurring the decision to make Massive Attack into a more traditional live entity for the following tour. The impetus for dropping the soundsystem ethos which had been all the band had known from the days in The Wild Bunch was partly to simply try something new and also because some of the scathing reviews Massive Attack had received, particularly in their soundsystem tour of North America the preceding year, where the whole soundsystem concept involving a rotating roster of MC-ing, toasting and DJ-ing, wasn't understood at all by the audience. 3D said of the North American soundsystem- "Didn't go down too well at all. The worst show was Minneapolis. Prince's Club. What was it called? Glam Slam? In the end they had to put the curtain down on us, we were so bad. Bloody terrible". [Details Magazine - February 1995]
1993-1997: Protection era (with Nellee Hooper) and the Melankolic label
After falling out with Shara Nelson over wages and her decision to make a solo record, the band brought in Tracey Thorn as a new vocalist. Cameron McVey abandoned his role as Massive Attack's manager and Daddy G asked Marc Picken, who worked for Levi's at the time and had some form of organizing role for the Protection tour, to represent the band. Picken left Levi's to manage Massive Attack full-time and also setup their Melankolic record label with them. He also found Nicolette to be the other female vocalist on the album that would become their second studio release, Protection.
With McVey out of the picture, Massive, returning to their roots in some respects, enlisted the production talents of Wild Bunch alumnus, Nellee Hooper to co-produce the record, or rather co-produce some songs on it, with Mushroom. Other tracks were co-produced by The Insects and 3D.
The album was successful. A dub version, No Protection, was released the following year by Mad Professor. Protection won a Brit award for Best Dance Act and Robert Del Naja joked, on receiving it, that none of them could dance. It was more chilled out and overtly electronic than Blue Lines and ends with a lighthearted cover of the Doors classic, Light My Fire, sung by Horace Andy, often thought of now as an ill-chosen reference to their live soundsystem past. The other collaborators on Protection were Marius de Vries, Craig Armstrong, a virtuoso Scottish classical pianist and Tricky. Tricky's solo career was taking off at this time and he decided not to collaborate with Massive anymore after this, having never been very happy with Massive Attack's creative direction or in his relationships with Del Naja and Daddy G.
1994-5 was also the period of Portishead's 'Dummy' and Tricky's 'Maxinquaye' albums and the term, "trip hop" was coined. Massive Attack bitterly opposed its use, wanting to not be pigeonholed. The media started to refer to the "Bristol scene",although this would be spurious to some extent as Tricky based himself in London [and later in the States] and there was not a great deal of camaraderie between the three entities (although they could be related in that the protagonists were all connected to Blue Lines studio sessions and their wages being initially paid by Neneh Cherry and Cameron McVey's "Cherry Bear Organisation").
In 1995, Massive Attack started a label under EMI, Melankolic, an obvious reference to their interest in elegiac music, and signed Craig Armstrong, as well as a number of other artists: Horace Andy, Alpha, Sunna and Day One. The trio espoused a non-interference philosophy that allowed the artists to make their albums in the way they wanted.
The same year, The Insects became unavailable for co-production and having parted ways with Nellee Hooper, the band were introduced to Neil Davidge, a relatively unknown producer whose main claim to fame thus far had been an association with anonymous dance/pop outfit, DNA. The first track they worked on was The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game, a cover version sung by Tracey Thorn for the 'Batman Forever' soundtrack, foretelling ever greater forays into film music. Initially, Davidge was brought in as engineer, but soon became de facto producer.
The trio increasingly fractured in the lead up to the third album, Davidge having to co-produce the three producers ideas separately. Mushroom was reported to be unhappy with the degree of the post-punk direction Del Naja, increasingly filling the production vacuum, was taking the band in.
In 1997, the group contributed to the movie soundtrack of 'The Jackal', recording Superpredators (Metal Postcard) and Dissolved Girl, a new song with vocals by Sarah Jay (which would later be remixed in a longer, darker form for the next album).
Later that year they delivered a comeback single, Risingson (from what would be their third album, Mezzanine) released to sate the fans' appetite for new material.
1998-2001: Mezzanine era (with Neil Davidge) and the split from Mushroom
Mezzanine was darker, heavier sounding and more guitar-driven, the album came out initially to rather mixed reviews and a perception that it was not a commercial record, although it went on to be their most commercial. The record marked Massive Attack becoming a live band and incorporated more fresh, recorded live music as well as samples. Angelo Bruschini would become their permanent lead guitarist both in recording and live.
The lead single, after Risingson was Teardrop, perhaps the most accessible track on the album, sung by Cocteau Twin, Elizabeth Fraser. It was accompanied by what would become a very memorable video directed by Walter Stern, of an animatronic singing foetus. Mushroom and Del Naja met Fraser in a Safeway supermarket and her collaboration on three songs came about as the relationship with Tracey Thorn fell by the wayside. Horace Andy was invited back to sing on three songs, including the epic, Angel.
Mezzanine went on to be critically acclaimed, winning a Q Award for Best Album (Q magazine initially only having given it 3/5 stars) as well as being nominated for a Mercury. The record eschewed hip-hop to some extent in favour of more experimental, gothic and post-punk-like music, resulting from Del Naja's influence. The artwork for the album is a beetle, made out of parts of a Volkswagen beetle car.
Touring extensively, friction between Mushroom and the others came to a head. Mushroom was unhappy with the direction of the group, Del Naja's dominating role and having to appear on tour. He is thought to have leaked Massive Attack material to Madonna in an effort to have her involved on an album and to have been refusing to allow anyone else in the band to modify his material (seen to be against the collaborative spirit of the group). Finding his behaviour intolerable to deal with, the other two suggested he would need to leave or the band would have to end. Mushroom acrimoniously split from Massive Attack officially in the autumn of 1999. It is rumoured that he privately blamed his subsequent severe health problems on the strain of the acrimony. It was widely reported in subsequent years that he would produce a solo album, but no such material has ever appeared in the ten years since.
In 2000, Del Naja and Daddy G released a highly publicized webcast on the state of the band and future plans, which was perceived by some to be a show of unity following divorce from Mushroom.
Around this time, Del Naja and Davidge decanted to Ridge Farm studio with friends and band members of Lupine Howl (itself made up of sacked members of the band Spiritualized, including Damon Reece who would go on to be Massive Attack's permanent drummer and one of two live drummers) towards a fourth Massive Attack LP, taking things even further into an experimental, psychedelic rock direction.
Daddy G became increasingly disillusioned with this approach, despite having supported the direction up until the point of Mezzanine, and stayed away from the studio from around 2001, effectively leaving Massive Attack as a producer.
Robert Del Naja and Davidge eventually conceded that the separate elements of the Lupine Howl sessions did not make for great music and this material is almost entirely discarded in favour of a more cinematic and busily electronic sound.
It was around this point that their label, Melankolic started to dwindle. There were no releases from after 2002 and the company dissolved in 2003. Del Naja later suggested in interviews that it was in part due to the artists "taking the piss" in spending too much money and Daddy G cited Virgin Records' lack of infrastructural support as a reason for the downfall.
2001 also saw the release of Eleven Promos, a DVD of all Massive Attack's 11 music videos thus far (including Angel, a £100,000+ promo that they initially withdrew from fear of inflaming unhelpful speculation about the relationships in the band at the time, even though it was Daddy G, and not Mushroom who is depicted running away.)
2002-2005: 100th Window era (with 3D solo) and Danny the Dog
With Daddy G no longer involved in the studio, Davidge and Del Naja steered "LP4" on their own. Enlisting the vocals of a flu-ridden Sinéad O'Connor and perennial favourite Horace Andy, 100th Window was mastered in August 2002 and released in February 2003. More sonically conceptual than the other records and featuring no samples of other artists or cover versions, 100th Window, a reference to a book about internet security used as a metaphor apropos 'no man is an island'. It was not as critically well received in Britain as the other records, although the album received a warmer reception internationally; scoring a 75 outof 100 on review aggregation site Metacritic.
Also in 2003, Del Naja was arrested on child porn allegations, which were reported very widely in all media outlets, thanks to the UK police and The Sun newspaper. The allegations resulted from his having entered his credit card details into a website in 1999 that was connected to other material which he did not view. Del Naja was soon eliminated as a suspect (although he was charged with Ecstasy possession and unable to get a US visa for a while) and Daddy G and fans offered support. The arrest affected the beginning of the 100th Window tour schedule. The tour did not include the United States and was very elaborate in terms of its light show, collaborating again with UVA (United Visual Artists).
Despite the difficulties of 2003, 100th Window sold over a million copies and was toured extensively (including Queen Square, Bristol - a one-off free concert set up in the city centre park, which was seen as a homecoming). Daddy G was fully involved as a member of the tour. It was rumoured that the tour of 2003 was so expensive, it sent Massive Attack into the red, with the group unable to fully pay the roadies at the time. A less ambitious tour took place in 2004.
Afterwards, Del Naja and Davidge agreed to an offer from director Louis Leterrier, to score the entire soundtrack for Danny The Dog (aka Unleashed), starring Jet Li. It was off the back of this lucrative job that they would have the funding to buy their own '100 Suns' studio. Dot Allison, who had sung with the band on the 100th Window tour, sang the end titles track, Aftersun. Davidge also scored the soundtrack for the more critically well-received Bullet Boy film, with Del Naja on the end titles.
In 2005, Daddy G started coming into the studio, although little came of the material. He decided to instead work with a production duo, Robot Club, in another studio, feeling that he would be more free to develop tracks in the way he wanted. Meanwhile, Del Naja and Davidge recorded with a number of different singers as well as creating a track named Twilight, for UNKLE's War Stories album. Later that year, Massive Attack decided to release their contractually-obliged, Best Of, Collected in 2006. To make things more interesting they released it with a second disc, made up of previously released non-album songs and unreleased sketches.
2006-present: Collected, the Meltdown festival, LP5's slow progress and the Splitting The Atom EP
Massive Attack toured their greatest hits record, including North America for the first time in nearly eight years. It sold well and was critically well-received for the most part. The artwork is an echo of the concept of Mezzanine, depicting four wreath-looking flowers as if they were made out of weapons. The justification given for the "Best Of" was that the record buys the band more time with the record company to develop "LP5" in the way that they want, i.e. to hold off on releasing it for six years.
In 2007, Del Naja and Davidge scored three soundtracks, In Prison My Whole Life (which featured a track called Calling Mumia with vocals by American rapper Snoop Dogg), Battle In Seattle and Trouble the Water (which received an Oscar nomination for the music). All of this soundtrack work was either credited as Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja or under the guise of 100 Suns, in an effort to differentiate the soundtrack/film scoring work from the brand name of Massive Attack.
It became apparent in 2007, through the band's MySpace, that they were working with Stephanie Dosen and she later became part of the touring line-up, Elizabeth Fraser having returned to the live repertoire initially.
In February 2007, Massive Attack hosted a charity benefit for the Hoping Foundation, a charity for Palestinian children, cementing their reputation as one of Britain's most obviously political bands. A year afterwards, in 2008, it was announced that Massive Attack were to curate the UK's Southbank Meltdown, a week long event encompassing numerous bands Massive Attack like and relate to. It was suggested in interviews that this event would inspire Massive back into action, having spent several years drifting towards the completion of their fifth studio album. Later on the same year, the band picked up a Q award for Innovation.
Later that year, Del Naja and Daddy G headed to Damon Albarn's studios for some writing and jamming. Around this time, Davidge scored the soundtrack for a Paul McGuigan movie, 'Push' and in December, Del Naja completed the score for '44 Inch Chest' with The Insects and Angelo Badalamenti.
Davidge and Del Naja then got back together in 2009 with Daddy G to concertedly finish the fifth album, incorporating bits of the Albarn material. It had been widely suggested that "LP5" (formerly known as Weather Underground) would be released in September 2009 (even as specifically as 22 September 2009 on the official forum). Massive Attack have claimed the album will be released in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 and now 2009, but recent indications have been given for early 2010.
Later it was announced that the band are to headline the 2009 Bestival festival and soon after that they are to tour the UK which has led to speculation that "LP5" is imminent, along with two strange and typically caps-locked blog entries by 3D on the official site, one being entitled SUMMER OF SUBMISSION. In May, Robert Del Naja's instrumental Herculaneum, featured in the movie 'Gomorra', won the Italian version of the Oscar for Best Song.
Later that month, Del Naja and Marshall picked up a special Ivor Novello award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.
In June of 2009, it was announced that, on May 29, Jonny Dollar, aged 45, lost his battle against cancer, survived by his wife and 4 children. Dollar was the programmer and hands-on producer behind Blue Lines, writing the melody that was the basis for the band's enduring classic Unfinished Sympathy.
On 5th October 2009. their new EP, Splitting the Atom, was released. The other new tracks off of the EP were revealed to be, Tunde Adebimpe's Pray For Rain, Martina Topley-Bird's Psyche and Guy Garvey's Bulletproof Love. The latter two tracks appear as remixes of the intended album versions and none of "LP5"'s tracks are expected to resemble the versions that were played on tour, with some songs, such as Dobro, dropped altogether. The Track Splitting The Atom was accompanied by a film directed by Baillie Walsh.
"Heligoland" speculation
Speculation surrounding the next album was addressed by D in a recent interview (at the Ivor Novello awards), where he mooted a release date of October 2009 for "LP5". However, it turned out that only a previewing EP will be released then and "LP5"'s release date is to be put back yet again, for a fourth year of delay, now to Spring 2010, to the frustration of some fans.
Backing tracks were sent to Alice Russell, Patti Smith and David Bowie respectively that did not develop further and past discussions also had with Tom Waits and Tricky respectively, in terms of being guest vocalists, have not, to date, worked out.
Some websites refer to Sia having worked with Massive in the past. Also, Mark Stewart announced in April 2009 that he would be collaborating with Massive Attack, but it is not thought that he has contributed vocally to "LP5".
Finally, in November, it was announced that LP5 will be titled 'Heligoland' and released on February 8th 2010.

- Collected (2006) (A best-of compilation: 2xCD and DVD)
- ± Credited as a Massive Attack album due to insistence from the film's director, but regarded as a Del Naja/Davidge soundtrack and not a proper Massive Attack studio LP, hence "LP5" as a referencing title for the next album, rather than "LP6"

Brothers and sisters spoke. Children spoke. Small grandchildren spoke. Friends spoke. The preacher spoke. Then the long-married patriarch said a few words. And last, but not least, the matriarch spoke.
Friday Morning Raggae
Start your weekend with this blast from the past. (Video begins about 28 seconds into the audio)
Jimmy Cliff...
Gone Fishing
With all the rancor, finger-pointing, name-calling, pontificating and just plain bad-vibes permeating Wisconsin's atmosphere lately sometimes the best medicine is seeking refuge in a turkey blind or the garden. Better yet - a boat. My pal Sid and I hit the bay yesterday seeking walleye.
Like this one.
Snaky Panky
Warning - The following post includes adult content. Out in the open. During daylight hours. If you are offended by such matters read no further. And please don't pester The Mothership with complaints.
The Western fox snake - Elaphe vulpina vulpina - is characterized by large brown, or black blotches along its back along with smaller blotches along on its sides on a beige to yellow background. The head of an adult is typically a rusty or copper color. It is a singularly handsome reptile. Adults can grow to six feet in length.
Friday Morning Music
Find your groove and start the weekend with some sultry, retro music from Mayer Hawthorne...
Decoration Day
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5th, 1868 by National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic - General John Logan.
It was first observed on May 30th, 1868 with the placement of flowers upon the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Over the years this day has changed dates, names and emphases. For instance, Decoration Day is now Memorial Day. Admittedly, I'll stretch it a bit today.
Birds of a Feather
Every year the asparagus ferns on the hanging baskets come out of their winter storage in the basement and get hung on the porch. In the fall they go back to their basement hiatus.
Every fall we have to remove the delicately woven cup nest of some house finches from one of the baskets.

Tracy Reese
2010 September 14
Runway Reviews: Carlos Miele, Monique Lhuillier, Tracy Reese, Reem Acra
Getty Images View Gallery
Carlos Miele referenced everything from butterflies to Pink Floyd to the concept of freedom for his Spring collection---which was as varied as it sounds. Some of the strongest pieces were the designer's gold embroidered pieces, print standouts, and his signature well-fitting charmeuse dresses. But Miele strayed for more rough-looking coral numbers and black see-through long columns. There were simply too many concepts, textures, and ideas within a single collection that ultimately overshadowed the designer's own strong work.
If Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2011 collection was born from a dream, one would never want to wake up. Known for her signature embellished evening gowns that dominate the red carpet every awards season, next Spring exudes even more Old Hollywood glamour, channeling silver screen legends like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. Many of her pieces seemed to be interpretations of the original couture houses from the 1950s, like Balenciaga or Vionnet, from her hourglass and column silhouettes to her fuller bustled and tufted gowns. For her daywear, she used shimmery antique gold raffia to create fitted jackets with longer skirts, and her eveningwear palette ranged from jewel tones like red apple and toffee to soft mint chiffons as well as pink floral and reptile chiffons. Every piece was masterfully executed, whether it was embroidered with bugle beads or pleated and draped.
An island girl at heart, Tracy Reese's easy and breezy Spring 2011 collection is perfectly suited for a Spring brunch in Soho or strolling the marina in St. Barths. Though she's known for reinterpreting vintage, this collection was modern, fresh, and effortless, and she created a quintessential wardrobe that perfectly transitions from the weekday to the weekend. She showed cropped jackets and feminine trench coats mixed with shorts or tailored pants, topped with dolman sleeved knitwear for the urban chicette. For the weekend getaway, her cotton sundresses and maxi dresses were in colorful batik or island prints, and flirty cape sleeves balanced A-line silhouettes. Fun and flirty, Tracy Reese makes us wish that summer would never end.
Once Upon A Time, a dreamy Reem Acra traveled to a faraway land for her latest collection, teeming with ultra-romantic frocks fit for a princess. An ode to all the regal women Acra has dressed over the years, the designer created a collection that was an urban, American, updated take on the princess dress. Instead of full skirts and miles of tulle, Acra opted for a more simplistic approach—notably an utterly unfussy silk chiffon column dress. "There are a lot of fresh colors that I haven't tackled before," Acra explained. "I think it's a fresh attitude. This American princess is cool and has breakfast in an evening gown," she laughed. While minimal at points, gold sequins and delicate embroideries still offered much in the way of resplendent, crown-worthy embellishments.

App Review: Preschool Academy
Price: $2.99 | Category: Games | Released 1.09.2014
As we start the New Year, you might be considering some new fun and educational apps that you can load onto your iOS device, The Preschool Academy App is an ideal app that allows young children to engage and remain engaged a fun learning activity. We love this app for a number of reasons and think you will too. Today, it's important to create apps that are educational and entertaining. The Preschool Academy App has a focus on cognitive skills and childhood development. The idea is the help children engage in a learning activity while learning to produce and organize new information.
Children learning to discover have a natural and intuitive way to learn by touch and repetition activities.
The Preschool Academy app is split into 4 "worlds" that react in four different improving levels, sweets, monsters, musical instruments and robots. Each world has a different experience and every activity engages the user ins a way that easy and fun to use. As we know, early education begins with eye and hand recognition and basic visual skills. The ability to utilize logical thinking and observation along with memory and listening skills is key in this app.
Some of the best features that we like are shadow games, mazes, puzzles, and object connection situations. The objects on the screen combined with memory games set this apart from other apps that you may have tried.
Once children begin to think consistently about numbers and letters, they begin to formulate a way to start learning how to read and write utilizing numbers and the alphabet. This is an exciting time for any parent or teacher.
In one instance, kids get the opportunity to take an adventure around each world that follows a comical and entertaining character who get the chance to fly about from activity to activity who also has an opportunity to obtain a bonus and collect extra energy as well. At the conclusion of every world, children are also presented with a "Certificate of Excellence" which is something parents and educators can certainly appreciate. The Voice over is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German!

Twelfth Night; or What You Will was composed by William Shakespeare in either 1600 or 1601 as the last of his three "mature comedies" (the other two being Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It). Like his early comedies, The Comedy of Errors or The Taming of the Shrew for instance, Twelfth Night is essentially a celebration of romantic love and can be viewed as a traditional romantic comedy. The play has many of the elements common to Elizabethan romantic comedy, including the devices of mistaken identity, separated twins, and gender-crossing disguise, and its plot revolves around overcoming obstacles to "true" love. And, like other representatives of the genre, Twelfth Night also features a subplot in which a self-inflated "sour" or "blocking" character, the steward Malvolio, is brought to his knees through a trick orchestrated by a ribald if also self-inflated character in the person of Sir Toby Belch.
But unlike his early comedies, Shakespeare also strikes some discordant notes in Twelfth Night, including a conception of love and other themes that are not part of the conventional romantic comedy formula. Thus, for example, the subject of insanity surfaces as a salient theme and as a force within the plot. Indeed, while Twelfth Night concludes with tandem weddings, Shakespeare also speaks about the madness of love.

A Note About Costs
Tour costs are based upon current airfares, tariffs, currency values, and on the basis of a minimum number of participants. While we will do everything possible to maintain the listed prices, they are subject to change. Should actual enrollments fall significantly below minimum numbers, a surcharge may be added.
Due to fluctuations in oil prices, a fuel surcharge may be added to your tour fee (e.g. internal flights, cruises, etc.). Details and costs will be advised prior to departure.
Wait List
If the program(s) of your choice are fully subscribed, you will be placed on a wait list. If you choose to withdraw from the wait list, please notify us.

Please understand that there will be no exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Air Service
Individual Arrivals and Group Transfers
Over the years, Smithsonian travelers have become more independent, often making their own travel arrangements to meet the tour group. Therefore, we no longer feature a designated group flight on most tours. However, on most tours, transportation from the arrival airport to the ship/hotel is included in your tour cost if you arrive in time to meet the scheduled group transfer. Your first tour bulletin will thoroughly explain the details of the options available for your individual flights.
Air Tickets Purchased Independently of the Tour
We urge you to check airline cancellation penalties before purchasing airline tickets since international departure times and flights can change. Tours also can be cancelled due to low enrollments. Neither Smithsonian Institution nor the tour operator accepts liability for cancellation penalties related to domestic or international airline tickets purchased independently in conjunction with a tour.
Travel Insurance
For the convenience of our travelers, Smithsonian Journeys includes an on-tour Provided Insurance Plan, through Travel Guard, with the price of your tour. This travel insurance plan includes emergency evacuation insurance (up to $50,000), medical and dental expense coverage and 24-hr worldwide travel and medical assistance. You will receive details on this included insurance with your Tour Confirmation and Tour Bulletins after you book a tour.
And don�t forget to plan for the unexpected! Please visit
or call Travel Guard at 1.800.208.6142 to learn about the benefits of purchasing an additional (optional) travel insurance plan.
Physical and Medical Considerations
Please note that these tours require that participants be in good physical condition: you must be capable, without assistance, of walking a minimum of two miles over uneven terrain and of climbing stairs that may not have handrails. Participants should have sufficient stamina to keep pace with an active group of travelers on long days of touring. If you have any questions about your ability to participate in a tour, please call us at 855-330-1542.
Some tours have additional notes regarding physical and medical considerations, which are noted on the Special Tour Information link.
Itinerary or Program Modifications
Smithsonian strives to improve tour itineraries and their features. If improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Every effort will be made to carry out the program as planned but alterations may still occur after the final itineraries are sent. Please note that weather conditions may force changes to the advertised sailing schedule on cruise programs. The ship�s captain has the authority to change the ship�s schedule.
Smithsonian chooses hotels based on a combination of their location, service, atmosphere and price. On adventure tours and programs in out-of-the-way places, best-available hotels are used. In most cases, hotels have elevators and meeting rooms for Smithsonian lectures. Program prices are based on two persons sharing a room with a bath.
Singles and Roommates
Hotel rooms are always reserved for single travelers; however, the number of single rooms available on a tour may be limited. Therefore we recommend that you register early. Please note that a single supplement will apply for a single room. If you are traveling alone and wish to share a room, we will do our best to find someone of the same gender and smoking preference to share with you. If you are matched with a non-smoking roommate, it is mutually agreed that you cannot smoke in your hotel room. When a roommate cannot be found, the single supplement will be charged.
Smithsonian Journeys offers special tours and cruises for families. In general, children should be at least 8 years old to enroll in a family program. All other tours are designed for adults, although some may be suitable for older children. Regardless of age, children must pay full price unless otherwise noted, and a parent or guardian must accompany those under 18.

Photographs may be printed in publications and posted on websites to promote Smithsonian Journeys. Travelers who prefer that their image not be used must advise the tour manager at the beginning of the tour.
Smoking Policy
For the comfort of all participants, we ask that there be no smoking during all group activities, including excursions and meals.
Read Carefully: Responsibility Statement and Liability Disclaimer
Smithsonian Journeys are managed by professional tour operators hired as independent contractors. The use of tour operators allows the Smithsonian to offer its members a wide array of educational travel opportunities. The tour operator acts only as an agent for the respective suppliers by making arrangements for transportation, accommodations, and other services. Neither the Smithsonian Institution nor the tour operator shall be held liable for personal injury, death, property damage or accident, delay or irregularity arising out of any act or omission of these suppliers. The Smithsonian Institution and the tour operator reserve the right, without penalty, to make changes in the published itinerary whenever, in their judgment, conditions warrant, or if they deem it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of tour participants.
The Smithsonian Institution and the tour operator also reserve the right, without penalty, to withdraw the tour announced, to decline to accept any person as a participant in a tour, or to require any participant to withdraw from the tour at any time, when such action is determined by tour staff to be in the best interests of the health, safety or general welfare of the tour group or the individual participant, subject only to the requirement that the recoverable portion of the total amount paid that corresponds to the cost of unused services and accommodations be refunded, if any. Participants are encouraged to purchase airline tickets no sooner than 60 days before the tour begins to avoid airline cancellation penalties if a tour is canceled or otherwise modified subsequent to the participant�s purchase of those tickets. The Smithsonian Institution and the tour operator accept no liability for the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets to the tour departure city and return. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the participant.
Dates, schedules, program details, and costs, although provided in good faith based on information available at the time of publication of the brochure or catalog, are subject to change and revision.

The undersigned further acknowledges that there are many risks and uncertainties inherent in any travel tour, including but not limited to the hazards of various modes of transportation, forces of nature, acts or omissions of foreign governments, terrorism, war or insurrection, theft, illness, and damage to person or property due to the negligent acts or omissions of tour staff or others. In consideration of, and as part payment for, the right to participate in the tour, the undersigned, on behalf of himself, his dependents, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, agrees to release the Smithsonian Institution, its Regents, officers, employees, representatives or agents, the United States, and the tour operator and its officers, employees and agents, from liability for personal injury, death, property damage or loss suffered by any person in connection with this tour, even if caused by the negligence (but not the reckless, willful, or fraudulent conduct) of tour staff or other related persons or entities.
