Mezzanine (1998)

Massive Attack

Trip-Hop

Buy from Amazon.com

Rating 9/10

Buy from Amazon.com

This is a deep and an interesting album by the ones of trip-hop originators from Britain. By the way, music represented on this album might be called "progressive trip-hop" because virtually all its compositions constitute electronic music performed upon prog/art-rock background. This is meditative, sometimes slightly tense, sometimes melancholy music, which abounds in various studio effects during the album. The sound engineering of it is of high quality, made on high level, and in spite of minimalism of the style, all the themes are extensive and interesting. On the whole, trip-hop is very particular to sound, so not every band can realize it in all its beauty. By the way, Liz Frazer (Cocteau Twins) took part in recording of this album - she's wonderful British vocalist. She didn't only perform the songs, but also took part in writing them. Massive Attack don't only realize trip-hop in all its beauty, but also introduce something new to it, and they do it the best way.
