In Store Now: Mezzanine by Massive Attack - brand new and sealed!

Dropped in 1998, this is the record where the Bristol pioneers fully embraced the shadows. Darker, heavier, and more guitar-driven than their earlier work, Mezzanine helped redefine what trip-hop could be, pulling in post-punk, dub, and industrial textures to create something tense, cinematic, and completely timeless.

You get standouts like “Angel,” “Teardrop,” and “Inertia Creeps,” plus deep cuts that reward a full-album listen. “Teardrop” features Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and went on to become the theme for House. The album debuted at No. 1 in the UK, became Massive Attack’s best-selling release, and has influenced everyone from Radiohead to Nine Inch Nails-era producers and beyond.

The iconic beetle cover was shot by photographer Nick Knight and has become one of the most recognizable sleeves of the late ’90s. And in true Massive Attack fashion, they even marked the album’s 20th anniversary by releasing a limited edition version encoded into synthetic DNA as an art experiment.

If you’re building a serious electronic collection - or just want something moody and immersive for a late-night spin - this one’s essential. Available in the shop now.
