Paradise Circus

Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval contributes vocals to this track over handclaps and a minimalist chord progression .

Massive Attack founding member Robert "3D" del Naja discussed this track with The Independent February 12, 2010: "That was one of G's [Grant, the other half of Massive Attack] adventures actually. And they did it all by wire. None of us ever met Hope. On the whole, our most successful collaborations come from being with people in the studio. This one is actually the complete opposite. And it's only one of a few we've done like this, another being with David Bowie when we did a track for Moulin Rouge. I quite like the idea of it being that way. Musically, we were trying to get a sense of being in a room, almost as if during a seance. We wanted to make it feel slightly conspiratorial, very visual and simple and really personal and up close."

When this song was first played live it was known by its working title of "Harpsichord."
