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. Review: worth the hype - No flowery review here, this is the best album of this type of music (trip-hop). If you don't have it... get it, it is jus that good. Review: Never gets old, MA at their best! - Massive Attack is by and far my favorite band, and I enjoy all types of music, not just of the trip-hop genre. I only came across them 2 yrs ago and have been addicted to them ever since. My favorite album is Mezzanine but I can honestly say that I love each and every song they ever produced. Personal favorites are "Angel", "Inertia Creeps," "Mezzanine", "Dissolved Girl", "Black Milk", "Heat Miser," "Safe From Harm", "Daydreaming", "Blue Lines","Live with Me," "Special Cases,", and the list just keeps going on and on from there. I've been listening to their Collected Album for the past year in my car and I'm still not sick of it. Their music is simply undescribable and incredibly original. Robert "3D" Del Naja's voice is sensational, incredibly sexy and can't be compared to anyone else. Check out the track "Inertia Creeps" on the Mezzanine album and you'll get a sense of what I'm talking about. Also their collaborations with various lead vocalists are simply awesome and smart, and there are many out there. While some of their songs may be considered "darker" than others, I have to say that all of their music puts me in a great mood, pumps me up and also helps me relax. Their most recent album Heligoland is definitely much different then their prior albums (but then again all MA albums are different; why I love them so much), and it took a little while getting used to. But after listening to it for a bit I became addicted to that album as well. The only album I don't have is Blue Lines, which I just purchased, al though I'm familiar with all the tracks on the album. Bottom-line is Massive Attack is amazing and in my opinion so highly under-rated here in the states. You will never find another band out there quite like Massive Attack. Their sound is so unique and versatile and can't be compared to other bands that share the trip-hop genre, such as Portishead, Morcheeba, Tricky, etc,. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of these groups as well but their music is no where near as powerful and intense as Massive Attack (in my opinion). I recommmend any and all of MA's albums to anyone who enjoys refreshing, original music, and music that can't be categorized as falling into one particular genre, but rather an incredible blend of trip hop, alternative hip hop, experimental rock, down-tempo hip-hop, soul, reggae, even classical music. Ok so if you're not familiar with MA's music you are seriously missing out, so I highly recommend that you expose yourself to them already; I guarantee you will not be dissapointed. I suggest you start out with their Collected Album as the compilation will give you an overall sense of their sound; if not that album you can't go wrong with Mezzanine, it's their best!

En su momento fue relevante, hoy es absolutamente imprescindible. Esta reediciรณn en doble vinilo de 180 gramos no busca deslumbrar con lujos innecesarios, sino dejar que la mรบsica hable por sรญ sola. La presentaciรณn es sobria: dos inserts personalizados alojados en una carpeta sencilla, sin florituras. Pero donde realmente brilla es en el sonido. La calidad es impecable, con una calidez y profundidad que solo el vinilo bien prensado puede ofrecer. Todo apunta a que se trata de la remasterizaciรณn de 2019.

I ordered this vinyl. I received it sealed, but it has been opened before and corner folded a bit, had fingerprints on the vinyl inner sleeves. If I had known this I do not pay in advance the price of new... This would not happen on a physical store, or price would be lower, or I would get a not flawed unit... Shame.
