It features guest vocals by Horace Andy and keyboards by Damon Albarn and was premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 25 August 2009.
There were two different promo videos made for Splitting The Atom. The first video (i.e. the bull fight video) directed by Baillie Walsh was released online on the 25th September 2009, just a few weeks before the release of the Splitting the Atom E.P. Baillie Walsh was the acclaimed music video director who had directed all of Massive Attack’s Blue Lines era videos. This marked his first time working with Massive Attack again since 1992.
The second promo video for Splitting The Atom was directed and animated by Edouard Salier, and debuted online on the 3rd February 2010. Even though it came first, it is intended to be seen as a sequel to the the director’s future Massive Attack collaboration on the Atlas Air video.
