Massive Attack's Mezzanine (1998) is the Bristol trip-hop collective's defining masterpiece and their best-selling album worldwide. Darker and more atmospheric than its predecessors, Mezzanine marked a bold pivot toward post-punk and industrial textures without losing the genre-defining dub and hip-hop roots that made Blue Lines and Protection essential. The result topped charts in the UK, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand and spawned four landmark singles: "Risingson," "Teardrop," "Angel," and "Inertia Creeps." The album introduced the longtime creative partnership between 3D and producer Neil Davidge and features guest vocals from Horace Andy and Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins. This limited double 180gm LP pressing delivers the album's cavernous sonics exactly as intended.
For collectors, an encapsulated copy of Mezzanine means owning a piece of one of the most influential records of the 1990s exactly as it left the pressing plant, sealed against the environment and protected from the handling that inevitably changes a record's story over time.
