Massive Attack – Mezzanine (2-LP Vinyl)
Massive Attack Vinyl Records
Product Details
Mezzanine arrived at a moment of serious internal tension within the Bristol trio, and that friction is audible in every dark, guitar-heavy corner of the record. Where their earlier work leaned into soul and hip-hop warmth, this album pushed toward something colder and more abrasive, drawing heavily on post-punk and shoegaze influences that caught many listeners off guard. It remains one of the definitive documents of late-90s British music.
After a long hiatus, Massive Attack returned in 1998 with Mezzanine, a record announcing not only that the group was back, but that they can create a masterpiece as good as their debut. Here Massive Attack recruit a live band, while maintaining their trademark downtempo sound. Tracks like Angel, feature stark production accompanied by Horace Andy's beautiful vocal. Teardrop featuring Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, brings a new life and emotion to their trip hop sound. Pressed on 180G vinyl.
