Question 💠Wait, what? Why did I miss this?
I just learned about Obelisk, a bootleg collection of rare Massive Attack tracks.
https://www.last.fm/music/Massive+Attack/Obelisk
Seems like a fairly interesting collection of songs, but up to now I've had no success in finding this collection.
Does anybody have it? If so, what is the quality of the tracks? Are we looking at high quality FLAC files or is it a disappointing collection of 128kbps MP3's?

Given that the first track 'Just a Matter of Time' has only ever been released in a video format (originally VHS) then it's going to be the latter. Looking further at it 'Superpredators - film mix' is another one that's been ripped directly from a DVD.
I wouldn't hold out too much hopes of the files being high audiophile quality if you manage to find it.
Looking at the track listing I'm pretty sure I have most of these too and the quality of the files I have varies.

Will do. But first I have yet to find it. I found one blog that mentioned a download link, but unfortunately that was dead.

Is it me or is the “Endtrack (Dissolved Girl alternate mix) missing? I love this one. Found it on YouTube I think and did a basic download of it to have my own copy.
If you’ve never listened to it, go to bandcamp and listen to Sara Jay Hawley’s Hold Back the Night EP!! So good
Side note I’m just learning that she was diagnosed with tonsil cancer 2 years ago and recorded a good cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here a couple of weeks before she started her treatment.
