Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much..."
Blue Lines is the debut studio album by the English music group Massive Attack, released on 8 April 1991.
It featured breakbeats, sampling, and rapping on a number of tracks, but the design of the album differed from traditional hip hop. Massive Attack approached the American-born hip hop movement from an underground British perspective and also incorporated live instruments into the mixes.
Blue Lines is generally considered the first trip hop album, although the term was not widely used before 1994. A fusion of electronic music, hip hop, dub, 1970's soul and reggae, it established Massive Attack as one of the most innovative British bands of the 1990s and the founder of trip hop's Bristol Sound. Music critic Simon Reynolds stated that the album also marked a change in electronic/dance music, "a shift toward a more interior, meditational sound. The songs on Blue Lines run at 'spliff' tempos – from a mellow, moonwalking 90 beats per minute ... down to a positively torpid 67 bpm. (From Wikipedia)

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Clean Lines. Looks like it's a work in progress! HMMM!
''The station is an open-vault metro station, the largest without any support pillars on the network. To facilitate construction, impressive efforts had to be done: the soil was frozen for 90 days, and the technology used to make it was also one of the few technologies imported from other countries to construct the metro.
The works lasted 4 years, in December 1981 the station was inaugurated.
It should also be added that, since its commissioning, the station has never been renovated or consolidated.''
