About this deal

Bristol's original trip-hop pioneers had, on previous albums 'Blue Lines' and 'Protection', fused turntable wizardry to the warmest of soul. Teardrop featuring Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins brings a new life and emotion to their trip-hop sound. Originally released in 1998 and now widely hailed as Massive Attack‘s masterpiece – and voted 15th in Q Magazine’s 100 Greatest British Albums Ever (2000) – Mezzanine saw the band move away from the trip-hop sound they had helped define to embrace rock and electronica.

Mezzanine is the third studio album by English electronic music group Massive Attack, released in April 1998.

After numerous bootlegs over the years, Virgin have done the right thing and presented this official reissue of Mezzanine to appease fans of Massive Attack and it's clear the LP has lost none of it's bewitching power. Review: Two decades have passed since Massive Attack signaled a new stage in their career with the dark, paranoid and claustrophobic brilliance of "Mezzanine", their third studio album. The Mad Professor remixes were originally intended to be released on a Mad Professor Mezzanine remix album – as the band had done with previous album Protection (No Protection) – yet in the end only a number of his remixes were issued as single B-sides. The cds are black plastic, which initially worried me, but fortunately my old Technics CD player plays both fine.

Can’t make my mind up if CD sounds better than the vinyl so it must be close, sounds great on either. Sound-wise the remaster is subtle but allows some elements to show through with extra clarity - thankfully no brick-walling (which would have made this material totally unplayable!

Is there anyone else here that would love it if they released some sort of proper 24bit-96kHz+ digital format? Songs from "Mezzanine" have also been used on numerous occasions to soundtrack adverts, TV shows, films, etc, past and present. While the resultant set, released in 1994, does quite hit the same dizzying heights, it remains a thoroughly great album.The original featured a band photo, which is noticeably absent on this reissue, and overall the basic matt card used, with some template card points still visible/feel-able on the edges) has left me a little underwhelmed.

We are available to book for live shows and events, as well as bespoke licensed music for videos, commercials, TV, film and more. Awesome track; very much Mezzanine vibes, and I know I'm not the only one clamoring for a truly quality version, mastered just like the rest of the album.The inter band friction created some gems; "Inertia Creeps" is drenched in menace, and "Teardrop" features the ethereal vocals of Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins - both of these a benchmark not just for the band, but for the trip-hop genre.
