1998 - 2018

2018 is near. So near!

And 1998 is already on music journalists' minds... 

1998 was a great year for Bristol, even more than the brilliant 1997, among other things because it saw the release of an amazing album: Mezzanine. 

Here is what FACT Magazine has to say about it in its list of the 22 best albums of 1998:

Massive Attack
Mezzanine
(Virgin)

The Mercury-nominated Mezzanine saw Bristol’s finest reach the peak of their cross-pollinating powers to perfect the spiky downtempo stew they had begun cultivating some seven years earlier. Featuring guest spots from Studio One legend Horace Andy and Cocteau Twins’ Liz Fraser – whose ethereal vocal is the jewel in the crown of an album that brought us one of the most memory-jogging songs of the ‘90s, ‘Teardrop’ – we named Massive Attack’s third LP one our favorite albums of the decade in 2012, and quite rightly so.
