"'''Four Walls'''" is a collaboration between [[Massive Attack]] and [[Burial (musician)|Burial]], which was first released as a limited vinyl edition on 17 October 2011, with pre-orders from 10 October 2011. The single consists of Burial mixes of Massive Attack's previously unreleased track 'Four Walls' and 'Paradise Circus', featured in their 2010 album [[Heligoland (album)|Heligoland]].

==Background==
In late 2009, [[Daddy G]] appeared to suggest in an interview with ''Clash Music'' that there would be an equivalent remix album of ''Heligoland'' by Burial, yet various comments made afterwards cast major doubt on the prospect ever being more than an idle whim in reality.<ref>{{cite web

In May 2010, [[Robert Del Naja]] told Q magazine that, "It's happening, but we can't talk about it. (Burial)'s very private and paranoid about it."<ref>{{cite news
