Top tunes, chat and Massive Attack鈥檚 Mezzanine at 25

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat, and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Massive Attack鈥檚 seminal third album Mezzanine.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they celebrate the 25th anniversary of Massive Attack鈥檚 seminal third album 鈥楳ezzanine鈥�, which was originally released on 20th April 1998. The album was a turning point for the Bristol trio, showcasing a darker, more sullen sound to that of previous albums 鈥楤lue Lines鈥� and 鈥楶rotection鈥�. The album includes the band's biggest hit, 鈥楾eardrop鈥�, which features vocals from Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser. Mark and Stuart discuss the album's significance, and play some of their favourites from it.

With a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs - and 鈥楾ea Time Theme Time鈥�, where we ask listeners to guess the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music to set you up for a Sunday, including tracks from The Smiths, KAe Tempest, Burial, PJ Harvey, Wire, The Go-Go's, Little Simz and Commodores.
