About

A TAV Essential Listening Album.

Anyone experiencing Massive Attack’s third studio effort for the first time instantly imagines the album soundtracking their life’s most pivotal and dramatic moments. It’s certainly no wonder that Mezzanine has gone on to soundtrack some of the most memorable scenes in film and television history. Every song on this LP feels cinematic on both the conscious and subconscious levels. Conceptualised by their lead Robert Del Naja who wanted to create something darker than the Bristol crew’s previous works, Mezzanine marks a noticeable departure from the jazzy, laidback sound of Blue Lines and Protection. Anchored by classic tracks such as “Teardrop”, featuring Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins, this album’s bleak and blurry trip hop tones will embed itself in your sense-memory.
