Massive Attack - Mezzanine Vinyl 2LP

Massive Attack’s 1998 album Mezzanine stands as a landmark of late-’90s electronic music, pushing trip-hop into darker, more experimental territory. Built on brooding atmospheres, jagged guitar textures, and heavy use of sampling, the record departs from the smoother tones of the group’s earlier work to embrace a moodier, industrial edge. Vocal contributions from longtime collaborator Horace Andy, as well as Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser on the haunting single “Teardrop,” give the album its emotional weight, while tracks like “Angel” and “Inertia Creeps” highlight its menacing intensity. Critically acclaimed and commercially successful, Mezzanine not only redefined Massive Attack’s sound but also cemented the group’s influence on the evolution of electronic, rock, and alternative music.
