Album Notes Massive Attack: Mushroom, 3-D, Daddy G.Additional personnel: Horace Andy, Elizabeth Fraser, Sara Jay (vocals); Angelo Bruschini (guitar); Neil Davidge (keyboards, samples); Dave Jenkins, Michael Timothy (keyboards); John Harris, Bob Locke, Winston Blissett (bass); Andy Gangadeen (drums).Recorded at Massive Attack and Christchurch Studios, Bristol, England.What do you do when you've already changed the face of music once in a decade? If you're Bristol, UK sonic architects Massive Attack, you refine the model for the times. MEZZANINE, the third album from the producer/DJ crew who, for all intents and purposes, created the genre of trip-hop, is thicker, less spacious and far more guitar-heavy than their previous efforts. Then again, the blue-print remains: hip-hop beats, behemoth bass underpinnings and spare melodic overtones still control Massive Attack's drive. After all, one doesn't expect the inventors to abandon their discoveries just because every pop new jack is onto their gold mine.

Reviews  Mezzanine.Review created: 09/05/08 by:  If you can imagine the worst day you have ever had at work? times that by two. If you put this album on and play it (not ear-bleedingly loud) you will feel the stress just lift. This must be some of the finest work that massive Attack has ever written and recorded. The track teardrops has been used for its versatility in so mant different t.v ads that the younger generation are also being drawn to this album. My verdict is 11/10. Buy this album and you will play it until it will play no more. Review ID: 10000000007097588 Was this review helpful? Report this review oh what a great cdReview created: 03/03/08 by: On the 2007 follow-up to his overlooked full-length '03 debut, HERE COMES THE FUZZ, London-born/New York City-based DJ/producer Mark Ronson presents an appealing and inventive set of cover tunes in collaboration with an eclectic array of artists Review ID: 10000000005911055 Was this review helpful? Report this review Their best album yet!Bristol based Massive Attack have always provided us with a few timeless classics, (Unfinished Sympathy being their most recognisable)but their third album, Mezzanine is their most consistent in terms of production values and styles. 'Teardrop' is probably their most haunting track of this album and still leaves the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. Another track, 'Inertia creeps' uses a clever mix of traditional arabic drums and horns - please forgive the fact that I do not know the names and terms used for foreign instruments. The great thing about 'Mezzanine' is that they have this uncanny knack of blending all these musical styles and genres with such effortless ease, that they never sound out of place, whether they are samples or 'live music'. If this review doesn't recommend the album enough, I don't know what will. Review ID: 10000000005288695 Was this review helpful? Report this review One of my fav all time albums!!Review created: 14/08/06 by: 0 of 2 people found this review helpful. I have all the Massive Attack albums and I love each one, but I think Mezzaine has something for you no matter what mood you are in. Not as chilled as 'Protection' but has some chilled tunes in there. Can't really say I have a favourite track as I love them all, but standout tracks would be 'Angel', 'Dissolved Girl', 'Teardrop' and 'Inertia Creeps'. Its dark, moody, and atmospheric. It has something to sing along to, it has something to nod your head along to, good for driving to, good for sitting and chilling to. I was one of the lucky ones this summer having seen them live and I must say they are up there with Faithless as the best live act I have ever seen! They were absolutley awesome! If you ever get the chance see them live gooooo!! Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins is outstanding on the album and was just as amazing live. If you like Leftfield, Portishead, Faithless & Primal Scream you may just love these Bristol Delights! Review ID: 10000000001617682 Was this review helpful? Report this review GeniusReview created: 24/10/05 by: 0 of 2 people found this review helpful. Their are a lot of fantastic tracks here - some highlights include 'Teardrop' with vocal by Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. 'Risingson' sees Daddy G and 3D in great form on a bass heavy track - but my favourte is 'Dissolved Girl.' Review ID: 10000000000037914 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
