Product Information

All 8 of the Mad Professor remixes included here are previously unreleased and include his dub mixes of 2 tracks not originally featured on Mezzanine but from the same period; “Metal Banshee”, a dub version of ‘Superpredators’ which was a cover of Siouxie and the Banshee’s ‘Metal Postcard’, and “Wire”, a track they recorded for the soundtrack of the film Welcome to Sarajevo.

After an incredibly long wait, with several push-backs to the 2018 release date (and complete cancellation of the 3-LP special edition due to artwork materials), it was with some relief that this 2CD set arrived yesterday! Renowned graffiti artist [a151718], known then as 3-D, played a significant role in adopting and popularizing the Massive Attack slogan. The cds are black plastic, which initially worried me, but fortunately my old Technics CD player plays both fine. These radical re-workings by Mad Professor originally created in 1998 include Teardrop, Angel and Inertia Creeps as well as rarities Wire and Superpredators.

The Mad Professor remixes were originally intended to be released on a Mad Professor Mezzanine remix album – as the band had done with previous album Protection (No Protection) – yet in the end only a number of his remixes were issued as single B-sides. 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. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. It's very apparent on "Dissolved Girl," as soon as the vocals come in with "shame, s*s*such a shame". years on, the set still sounds sublime: a radical translation that frequently bares only a passing resemblance to the Bristol band's original.

While the resultant set, released in 1994, does quite hit the same dizzying heights, it remains a thoroughly great album.

He finds himself dismayed at his inability to solve the Theory of Relativity once and for all, even with a 16 bit Windows NT supercomputer and a dial up connection to this new information superhighway that everyone keeps talking about.The friction, though, seems to have create some gems; "Inertia Creeps" is drenched in menace, and "Teardrop" features the ethereal vocals of Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins --both of these a benchmark not just for the band, but for the trip-hop genre. With Mezzanine, however, the party had ended; revisiting the murky soundscapes so favoured by former partner and fellow Bristolian Tricky, the comeback single "Rising Son" muttering edgily about "cheap beer filled with crocodile tears", over the deepest bass. Teardrop featuring Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins brings a new life and emotion to their trip-hop sound.
