				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/massive-attack-announce-mezzanine-21st-anniversary-uk-and-ireland-tour-for-2019/" target="_blank">It was reported last year that Massive Attack, the Bristol electronic pioneers had announced plans for a tour to commemorate the 21st anniversary of their seminal album &#8220;Mezzanine&#8221;</a> which will include a guest vocal appearance from Elizabeth Fraser whose vocals featured on the record. <a href="https://www.factmag.com/2019/01/25/massive-attack-adam-curtis-mezzanine/" target="_blank">Further details have now been revealed that Adam Curtis will provide a visual accompaniment to the shows which kick off this coming Monday, January 28th in Glasgow.</a></p>
<p>Says Curtis &#8220;The show tells the story of the strange journey we have all been on over the past 20 years since <i>Mezzanine</i> was released: How we have moved into a strange backward-looking world, enclosed by machines that read our data and predict our every move, haunted by ghosts from the past.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also, says Massive Attack member Robert Del Naja &#8220;The show is a deconstruction of the entire album with the original songs and samples being performed live. This isn&#8217;t a greatest hits show, don&#8217;t expect a Hollywood ending.&#8221;In addition to Frasers vocals, they will also be joined onstage by Horace Andy and additional visuals will be provided by AI artist Mario Klingemann.</p>
<p>Massive Attack were formed in 1988 in Bristol by Del Naga otherwise known as &#8220;3D&#8221;, Grant &#8220;Daddy G&#8221; Marshall and formerly featured Andy &#8220;Mushroom&#8221; Vowels. They released their debut album &#8220;Blue Lines&#8221; in 1991 which featured their chart topping single &#8220;Unfinished Sympathy&#8221; which was later voted in a poll by the NME as the 63rd greatest song off all time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mezzanine&#8221; was released in 1998 and contained the single &#8220;Teardrop&#8221;, it also went to number 1 in the album charts, as did 2003&#8217;s &#8220;100th Window&#8221;. &#8220;Bluelines&#8221; and &#8220;Mezzanine&#8221; both feature in the 500 greatest albums of all time list compiled by Rolling Stone magazine.</p>
<p>They have won several awards throughout their three decade career including Best British Dance Act at the Brit Awards as well as two MTV Europe Awards and two Q awards. Their five studio albums have sold 11 million copies worldwide.</p>
