Tricky fell off a bit, I think. Maxinquaye, Nearly God and (parts of) Pre Millennium Tension were all great, but I think his later stuff misses something. It's good he tries to do new things, though.
As for Massive Attack, I've been listening a lot to Heligoland lately, and I think it's pretty strong. At first, I thought it was ok, but now I find it pretty enjoyable. "Flat of the Blade" amazes me.
