I love D, he’s like a brother, but he’s an argumentative bastard, and he’ll run rings around people if they’re not switched on. And Mushroom, he’s a very smart guy, very intelligent, but he doesn’t have the dexterity that D has, so would get increasingly frustrated by D. Mushroom was very much a methodical person – he liked to plan things so he’d know what he was going to do when he got in the studio. He hated going into the studio and not knowing what he was going to do. Whereas D was very much “Let’s get in the studio and make some noise and see what happens…It was a creative mindset that used to frustrate the hell out of Mushroom.” Matrix / Runout (Side B, etched Variant 10 [No Pre-/Suffixes, 1st press]): BD26581-01 B1 3754225 i...i

Management [Tour Representation] – David Levy (5), Deluxe (23), ITB, Jeremy Joseph (2), Jonathan Levine (3), MPA (2), Metropolis Music (2), Raye Cosbert John Bush of AllMusic had positive words for the album's song "Inertia Creeps", saying it "could well be the highlight, another feature for just the core threesome. With eerie atmospherics, fuzz-tone guitars, and a wealth of effects, the song could well be the best production from the best team of producers the electronic world had ever seen." [16] Years after the album was released, it was placed on several best-of lists in the UK and the United States. In 2000, Q magazine placed Mezzanine at number 15 on its list of "The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2013, it was placed at 215 on NME 's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". [1] In 2003, the album was ranked number 412 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of " The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [31] and while it was not included in the 2012 update of the list, it reentered the 2020 update ranked at number 383.

I will not bother you with more details about the edition, but please pay attention to the third vinyl where you can find the remixes.

Paradise Circus" is the obvious jewel in the crown: a catchy downtempo beat paired with the bottom of Hope Sandoval's vocal range. It's easy and cool like any Massive classic, an anthem to mellow euphoria, with a transcendent swelling of synthy melody at the end. People, this is how your music should treat you. On the 20th anniversary of Mezzanine 's release, the record was encoded into synthetic DNA—a first for an album. The project was in collaboration with TurboBeads Labs in Switzerland; the digital audio of the album was stored in the form of genetic information. The audio was then compressed using Opus, coded in DNA molecules—with 920,000 short DNA strands containing all the data—and then poured into 5,000 tiny glass beads. [35] 20th anniversary reissue [ edit ] Like any other edition from the Vinyl Factory this is a collectors edition, as it takes the music of the artist to high level of presentation detail. Before listen to the music I was really impressed by the quality and detail of this cover, need to be seen in the flesh. The pressing of the vinyls is top... fantastic deep and fat sound, I can feel a lot of differences from the CD. Year in Focus – European Top 100 Albums 1998" (PDF). Music & Media.

Heligoland is a world of sensations, something that takes your mind to different trips. If sometimes you can sing along with Robert, Martina, Horace or Hope, other times you just surf between Heaven and Hell, like with Guy, but always moving... always loosing your mind in timeless memories of a lost future.

The album was remastered and reissued for its 20th anniversary. The two-CD anniversary edition was released on 23 August 2019, and comes with a bonus disc of previously unreleased dub mixes by the Mad Professor, which were originally intended to be released on a Mezzanine remix album. A triple-LP vinyl version was also slated to be released; initially delayed from its proposed release date, the triple-LP version was eventually canceled altogether. [36] Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. By April 2000, the album had sold 2.5 million copies worldwide. [33] As of February 2010, it had sold 560,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. [34] Mezzanine DNA [ edit ]

Mezzanine

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!!! Is there anyone else here that would love it if they released some sort of proper 24bit-96kHz+ digital format? By 'proper' I mean with its full dynamic range (not like their 2012 mix/master of Blue lines, where the dynamics are squashed into a limiter, conversely). I wish there was a DVD-audio version. Or it could be an SACD...hell even the 20bit HDCD, with peak extension, might fair better than the vinyl pressings, at least in some regard, seeing how this album seems to be a "challenge" for the vinyl format, as one commenter noted. The female vocals suffer from sibilance...which are one of the most indispensable qualities of this album—Liz Frazer and Sara Jay—but that's not to discredit the other vocalists...every part of this album is indispensable; absolute masterpiece, and the pinnacle of the trip-hop genre, imo. Or if you don't like the term trip-hop—as nearly none of the associated artists seem to lol—it's at least a quintessential of 90s music in the general realm of hip-hop/electronic music.
