Pop: Massive Attack





Mezzanine
PRODUCERS: Massive Attack, Neil Davidge
Virgin 45599
The cream of Bristol returns with an album that signals the evolution of its art‹and the trip-hop genre the group

helped define‹into a musical form too fluid to pin down. Soulful, entrancing, and gothic, "Mezzanine" is a cinematic work that draws from sources as varied as Isaac Hayes and the Cure. One cut, "Risingson," toys with dancehall-inspired raps, liturgical-sounding chants, and futuristic industrial sounds. Other highlights include the Middle Eastern "Teardrop," with vocals by Elizabeth Fraser; "Dissolved Girl," featuring Sara Jay; and the title track. An album that deserves the attention of modern rock programmers, club spinners, and other tastemakers.
