Mezzanine is like no other album that has come before, or since. It's timeless and genre-defying, yet it's also the best example of late 90's trip-hop any British music act could have produced. Massive Attack's use of samples and the sheer mix of musical genres they spanned was visionary, peerless and inspirational.
The Bristol-based trip-hop pioneers had, potentially, a huge task on their hands to follow up the hugely influential 1991 debut album ‘Blue Lines.’ But they managed it with apparent ease, delivering a record that would end up in a Rolling Stone list of the ten coolest albums of all time.
Co-producing with Nellee Hooper, the Massive Attack collective delivered another masterstroke by utilising guest musicians and vocalists throughout the album, as they had on ‘Blue Lines.’ This time, without Shara Nelson, they included Nigerian singer-songwriter Nicolette, Jamaican reggae veteran Horace Andy and, perhaps most memorably, Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl on the title track, which became a UK top 15 single.

“A curiously tender, black-hearted modern soul classic; the last great record of the millennium, if we’re being pretentious,” was how NME described Death in Vegas’ second album (1999), which took its name from the Contino Rooms in London (where it was recorded) and was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize

Surfacing just as alternative rock went mainstream, Beck’s 1994 official album debut, Mellow Gold, quickly confounded expectations when “Loser” metamorphosed from a rejected demo to a ubiquitous smash. “Loser” showcased Beck’s unconventional approach to songwriting and solidified his status and an innovative voice in alternative music. The song contains a sample from “I Walk on Guilded Splinters” by Dr. John. This edition is pressed on 180 Gram, Black Vinyl.
