Reviews
- Very good pressing of one of the most iconic albums of the genre and era. There’s a little bit of surface noise, but nothing a good cleaning won’t fix. This thing just hammers though. Very good sound with exactly the kind of punch it deserves. Excellent choice to buy especially given you can pick this up for $30-$40.
- I've owned this record for just under two years but listening to it tonight for the first time on the latest configuration of my system motivated me to write a brief review—because this is a great cut of this trip hop classic. Great bass, good dynamic range—overall a superb sounding release.
Currently playing on my Thorens TD 160 with Nagaoka MP-110 feeding my Yamaha CA-800 which powers a pair of first generation Klipsch Heresy. - Edited 3 months agoBoyaka, another greater than great press, there seem to be quite a few represses since 2013 (amazon.de states this a 2017 release, but PLEASE never trust their info, you might receive a totally different album by a different band through all their dead links and false information... But I bought this one in late July of the year 2023 and received an amazingly good sounding set of records that aren't cut too loud but still using the space of one disc's side for two to three tunes, making them sound like a 12" 45. It has Tim Young's name on it, so it seems Virgin used his original acetates to repress them? Is it this cut anyone's raving about here? Maybe. Maybe not. But this man knew his trade, and the discs are in a different league than many others. Buy with confidence! 😌
By the way... the music... !!! If you love your Smith & Mighty, Portishead, Roni Size, Tom Waits or Neil Young - you'll love it. If you already know the album and consider buying the vinyl- just go ahead!!!
Maybe someone opens a 2017 re-release page? The 2017 is absolutely great, it was cut by Tim Young, not Sean Magee. And it is sounding 5*. - WOW! I always wanted to buy this vinyl but never took it very seriously until I read all those reviews and trust me: all of them are very trustworthy ! Super silent, amazing bass, excellent sound quality of a incredible album! A must have !
- Playing this last night I realized it's probably one of my most played records, and one of the best sounding I own.
referencing Mezzanine (CD, Album) 7243 8 45599 2 2
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!referencing Mezzanine (2×LP, Album, 180g) WBRLP4
Can anyone tell me if this original vinyl pressing was a gatefold or not?
