I've listened to "Mezzanine" about 50 times in the last 3 weeks. It is my favourite Massive Attack album and certainly somewhere in my all time top 10 albums. I love the overall vibe of the album, kind of laidback, nasty and groovy (isn't that a Cabaret Voltaire album?). My favourite track is no 8 "Black Milk" which is one of the Liz Fraser vocal tracks. I'd also recommend the "Teardrop" CD single if you can get it cheap (it only costs $5AUS in Australia) for the Mad Professor dub version of "Teardrop" and the track "Euro Zero Zero" which is a reworking of "Eurochild" from their "Protection" album (the track is reworked to give it a dark vibe ala "Mezzanine"). On a related not can anyone tell me which vocalists are on the current tour?
