As an artist you can always find some appreciation in your work, you know that all the elements you're bridging together is resonating but you never know when you're actually tapping into something big, that is until you actually put it out ... thats why to them its sort of perplexing ordeal because i doubt they expected this kind of reception, it was probably just another day in the studio trying to come up with something unique ... they knew they where taking it to the next level but i doubt they could possibly imagine the success that album it would garner them.
Even tho they have never been great in interviews , the situation of the band at that moment wasn't the best either. Mushroom didn't like the direction Massive was taking. He didn't like the sound. At this point 3D was really taking over and becoming the captain of the boat... A lot of tension in general with this band and I guess it just shows in interviews. Let's not forget they originally come from a collective, have different backgrounds. It's not like the average band with friends who all agreed to make a rock band. There is a reason why they usually work on ideas separately and then, with the help of producers, try to make all of this more homogenized.
I found this album so magical cause it's portrait looks so aggressive but at the same time it's chill for some reason, just like the record. Like you can appreciate this dangerous insect but in a place when you can't feel the fear for yourself
That's easy to judge from the outside but 3D said he has been really hurt by Mushroom departure (he has been asked about Mushroom and Tricky). And I'm sure it wasn't easy. Even tho they never really worked in studio together and came with different ideas, it's still a band and I'm sure it was a lot of tension to decide which direction an album will take and see all your ideas being denied...especially for Mushroom who has been a massive contributor of the 2 first album...meaning the success of this band. Mushroom composed Teardrop with Davidge and wanted Madonna on this track...he had a vision but the other 2 members wanted Liz. From an artistic point of view I can understand his frustration and it really made me sad when he left...but yes : Mezzanine is incredible. And in a way, Mushroom has been there for the 3 best albums of the band.
@@ellalicor8510 I'm sure you didn't 🤣 summary : mushroom composed Teardrop and wanted Madonna on it. The 2 others preferred Liz even tho it was his track. mushroom vision not respected, mushroom sad.
Weird how at the time this was made, the band was falling apart between the members with Robert Del Naja (a.k.a. 3D) taking charge more with the music in M.A.
Mushroom has nothing to prove...he was on the best 3 albums of a legendary band...he's the one who produced Teardrop with Neil...which is one of the most famous songs of all time...
Yeah I wish Mushroom would open up about it, but he shows here he was more than capable of closing of , he's been MIA for 30 years!. I am pretty sure by the time this was recorded he had already left the Massive mentally. The only article I could find where he talked a bit mentions that he was very unhappy with a lot of the 'musical choices' on Mezzanine, but he was a sample based hip hop style producer and was quoted as saying during recording or at some stage something along the lines of ' are we a fuck'n rock band now' Apparently he and 3d would did most sessions separately and lay down stuff that was apposing a lot of the time, maybe that is why it fused into such a dark and almost dystopian sound in many places. Still so grateful I saw them perform this live in Sydney, Australia in the late 90's.
@@damiensimper Yes, soul and hip hop was Mushroom's thing and it shows in the first two album. You can still hear it a bit in Mezzanine though it's not as pronounced.
In 200 years, people will listen to this album in awe.
It will still sound contemporary
They could release this today, and it'd sound new.
I'm listening to the vinyl still in awe everytime.
this album is just unreal
Absolutely...
Best of the best ... !!
Miss this time in my life
Yo bandstand I love Massive Attack too
ayo whassup dude

David Holmes - Let's get Killed
Yes I smoked a lot of weed back in the days :p
one of my favourite albums, it just hits me in such an ethereal way
Tension anyone? Here it is.
And it's why Mezzanine is a masterpiece.
1:47 checking out the babe that walks by lol
Yeah I wondered what caught his eye, then I realised 😄
We all gotta eat 😆
He’s being passive aggressive.
Mushroom was looking to see if she was looking back to him to see him looking back to her.
The most perfect album
Mushroom cringing to 3D’s blabber is gold
Close to zero level of interest in an interview about one of the greatest trip-hop albums of all time. Exactly what I expected from them, actually :)

One of the greatest albums in any genre

Without doubt one of the best albums of the decade

You can tell Mush has 0 interest in any of it and has already left the band in his mind.
they created a masterpiese with the beats broght by a sonic magician. Hooray also for Sarah Jay!
Blue Lines - Five Men Army
Protection - Eurochild
Mezzanine - Mezzanine
100th Window - Butterfly Caught
Heligoland - Rush Minute
Ritual Spirit - Ritual Spirit
mushrooms not a happy bunny
this was their masterpeice.
I wonder what Mushroom is doing now?
Looks like he is currently working on a solo album, he is sharing behind the scenes images on instagram
I want to meet them all
All of their albums are so fucking beautiful
Mushroom behaving like a petulant brat. So glad 3D was steadfast in his vision. I don’t miss him, albeit mildly curious as to what he’s doing now 🧡X
That's easy to judge from the outside but 3D said he has been really hurt by Mushroom departure (he has been asked about Mushroom and Tricky). And I'm sure it wasn't easy.

The only truth about Mushroom is that today he could be better known and have more audiences to show its music to. Serious mistake.
Maybe he doesn't need to and doesn't want to show anything
Mushroom has nothing to prove...he was on the best 3 albums of a legendary band...he's the one who produced Teardrop with Neil...which is one of the most famous songs of all time...
Group 4…
mushroom abt as interesting as a mushroom
What's up with Roberts ear...
...the earrings?
Teardrop is the best song in the world. Basically.
It's quite overrated. It's ok but it's not even close to their best song.
@@bluefilmsltd I agree, it's actually my least favorite track on the album, not sure why the fuck people are so hung up on it...
Mushroom looks happy!...Interesting that they haven't made an album to top Mezzanine.

Dj Mushroom ever so quiet. Too bad, but 3d took the right direction in the end
