Album Review - consequence of sounds
If your first exposure
to Massive Attack dripped through Neo’s headphones in his first appearance onscreen in The Matrix, Mezzanine
might always coat the walls of a cyberpunk neo-noir for you. That’s the world it envelops for me: a world that
articulates the reflexive fear of technology’s growing dominance, the fear that the machines we owned would soon
own us. Google Glass, the iPhone, and the NSA’s surveillance network hadn’t even been invented yet, but we
were already plunging into nightmares of full-blown dystopia. We could already download kung fu.
There’s a
violence that courses through Mezzanine, a subtle menace that the UK trio pricked at with their lyrics, but never fully
traced. Through the aperture of lines like “she’s on the dark side” and “you’re lost and
you’re lethal,” Massive Attack let you imagine an enemy that was always out of sight. They sculpted the
shadows.
Darker, slicker, and more monstrous than the group’s fizzy first steps, Mezzanine relied on heavy
sampling to braid together disparate threads in music’s history. Its birth was a messy one; Robert Del Naja (AKA
3D) allegedly ripped up each track again and again before he arrived at the final mixes. You can hear it, too. While
Protection and Blue Lines sounded neatly composed, Mezzanine felt grown. The album blossoms in enormous space, bigger
and deeper than the tight channels electronic dance music tended to fill. This was computer music aimed not at clubs but
at headphones, computer music concerned less with how to engineer the future than with how to hack the past.
It’s easy to forget that the Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, and the Cure all haunt this album. You
don’t think about Robert Smith on “Man Next Door”, but he’s there, counting drips like he did
in 1979, only this time he’s surrounded by danger instead of boredom, as vocalist Horace Andy plots escape from a
violent neighbor. Meanwhile, Jon Bonham pounds from the grave, the beat from “When the Levee Breaks” slowed
down and stretched out almost beyond recognition. Unlike the mashup microgenre that looks to it, Mezzanine
doesn’t hopscotch from one source to another. Nothing’s slapped together. It doesn’t want you to
recognize its roots. Massive Attack roped together music not by time or place, but by a nerve no one had thought to
tease out.
It may have harnessed millennial dread, but Mezzanine didn’t shy from awe at its own newly
hatched textures. Since wrapped around the opening credits to House, “Teardrop” still shines as the
record’s sole bright spot in a storm of metallic shadow. Neon harpsichord levitates the elusive lyrics, sung
delicately by Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser. Here, Massive Attack access the kind of emotional register that
can’t be qualified as positive or negative, only intense, more euphoria and sadness to draw upon with each turn
of the arpeggio.
Maybe it’s that ambivalence, that refusal to be pinned down, that landed Mezzanine so
squarely inside the circle of “alt” kids that loved it a decade ago. Massive Attack was straight punk in my
world. Mezzanine would blare on car stereos that otherwise only played marathons of Buzzcocks and Against Me! It bit
just as hard in slow motion. If punk rock was a jackknife brandished in front of you, then Mezzanine was the cold steel
of a gun nuzzling the back of your neck. We loved the threat of it just like we loved brazen aggression.
Massive
Attack’s DNA is scattered everywhere ? the middle crunch of “Dissolved Girl” lies latent in Sleigh
Bells’ twitchy backbone, and How to Dress Well owes plenty to the icy beauty of “Teardrop” ? but
Burial must be their most direct descendant. Both acts cemented that lineage with a stunning collaborative 12” in
2011, though both tracks sounded distinctly Burial. You can’t tell where one artist begins and the other ends,
because Burial designed his own mechanism by looking at Massive Attack’s. By listening to either, you’re
grasping at glints in shadow.
At the end of Burial’s remix of “Paradise Circus”, Mazzy Star
vocalist Hope Sandoval’s voice (unheard in the original) murmurs over and over, almost imperceptibly: “Let
love flower.” Would she even be singing if it weren’t for Fraser’s “black flowers
blossom”? Would we even have that image, that something could be dark, and poisoned, and still unstoppably alive?
Would we still have this legion of young artists stitching together scraps on their laptops without that deep, echoed
imperative in “Risingson”: “dream on”?
Essential Tracks: “Teardrop”, “Man
Next Door”
AMG Album Review
Increasingly ignored amidst the exploding trip-hop scene, Massive
Attack finally returned in 1998 with Mezzanine, a record immediately announcing not only that the group was back, but
that they'd recorded a set of songs just as singular and revelatory as on their debut, almost a decade back. It all
begins with a stunning one-two-three-four punch: "Angel," "Risingson," "Teardrop," and
"Inertia Creeps." Augmenting their samples and keyboards with a studio band, Massive Attack open with
"Angel," a stark production featuring pointed beats and a distorted bassline that frames the vocal (by group
regular Horace Andy) and a two-minute flame-out with raging guitars. "Risingson" is a dense, dark feature for
Massive Attack themselves (on production as well as vocals), with a kitchen sink's worth of dubby effects and reverb.
"Teardrop" introduces another genius collaboration — with Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins —
from a production unit with a knack for recruiting gifted performers. The blend of earthy with ethereal shouldn't work
at all, but Massive Attack pull it off in fine fashion. "Inertia Creeps" 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. Obviously, the rest of
the album can't compete, but there's certainly no sign of the side-two slump heard on Protection, as both Andy and
Fraser return for excellent, mid-tempo tracks ("Man Next Door" and "Black Milk," respectively).
