Falling under the umbrella of these technological updates the excursion will net with time-honored Mezzanine sound is a book audiovisual production in Adam Curtis. Known for his past documentarian perform, Curtis explains the visual element as a representation “of the journey ” that Curtis and the members of Massive Attack undergone in the time following Mezzanine’s release. “The show tells the story of we enclosed have moved into a peculiar universe and forecast our every move, haunted by ghosts from the past,” Curtis said of his contribution.

The part of the Mezzanine tour turns out to be a throwback that is elegant to individual record cuts and some musical collaborations. Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins notably appeared alongside Massive Attack throughout their Glasgow show to do “Black Milk,” “Teardrop,” along with “Group Four. ” With the mindset of “the more the merrier,” Massive Attack also encouraged reggae vocalist Horace Andy to combine the Bristol outfit on stage for “Man Next Door” along with “Angel,” as well as one of Andy’s originals, “See a Man’s Face. ” Andy and Massive Attack’s live rendition of “See a Man’so Face” indicated the very first performance of the song since 1998. Massive Attack pleased crowd members together with “Exchange” and “Dissolved,” just two of the team ’s less common group inclusions. Massive Attack lent their own magic to other musicians’ function since they delivered addresses of The Velvet Underground’s “I Found a Reason,” Pete Seeger’s “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” along with The Cure’s “10:15 Saturday Night. ”
