  • Massive Attack are preparing a 20th anniversary edition of their classic 1998 album Mezzanine. The Mezzanine re-release will feature the original album, newly remastered, along with previously unheard Mad Professor remixes dating back to 1998. (Mad Professor also remixed their 1994 album, Protection, as No Protection.) It'll come out in November as a double-CD set, with a deluxe triple-vinyl box set—with a heat-sensitive cover and new imagery from Robert Del Naja and Nick Knight—due out later in December. Mezzanine was the UK group's most successful album, featuring hit singles like "Angel," "Risingson" and "Teardrop," the latter being used as the theme song for the TV series House. Guests on the LP included Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, Horace Andy and Sara Jay. The reissue follows the announcement this past spring that the group were encoding the album into DNA with the help of a Swiss firm. Listen to "Teardrop."
