After a long hiatus, Massive Attack returned in 1998 with Mezzanine, a record announcing not only that the group was back, but that they can create a masterpiece as good as their debut.

Here Massive Attack recruit a live band, while maintaining their trademark downtempo sound.

Tracks like Angel, feature stark production accompanied by Horace Andy's beautiful vocal. Teardrop featuring Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, brings a new life and emotion to their trip hop sound.
