Is there anyone else here that would love it if they released some sort of proper 24bit-96kHz+ digital format? By 'proper' I mean with its full dynamic range (not like their 2012 mix/master of Blue lines, where the dynamics are squashed into a limiter, conversely). I wish there was a DVD-audio version. Or it could be an SACD...hell even the 20bit HDCD, with peak extension, might fair better than the vinyl pressings, at least in some regard, seeing how this album seems to be a "challenge" for the vinyl format, as one commenter noted. The female vocals suffer from sibilance...which are one of the most indispensable qualities of this album—Liz Frazer and Sara Jay—but that's not to discredit the other vocalists...every part of this album is indispensable; absolute masterpiece, and the pinnacle of the trip-hop genre, imo. Or if you don't like the term trip-hop—as nearly none of the associated artists seem to lol—it's at least a quintessential of 90s music in the general realm of hip-hop/electronic music. I will not bother you with more details about the edition, but please pay attention to the third vinyl where you can find the remixes.

Like any other edition from the Vinyl Factory this is a collectors edition, as it takes the music of the artist to high level of presentation detail. Before listen to the music I was really impressed by the quality and detail of this cover, need to be seen in the flesh. The pressing of the vinyls is top... fantastic deep and fat sound, I can feel a lot of differences from the CD. By April 2000, the album had sold 2.5 million copies worldwide. [33] As of February 2010, it had sold 560,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. [34] Mezzanine DNA [ edit ] By the way... the music... !!! If you love your Smith & Mighty, Portishead, Roni Size, Tom Waits or Neil Young - you'll love it. If you already know the album and consider buying the vinyl- just go ahead!!! So, this will be a bit of an odd review. As for the music itself, I think this is a great album. This album has an odd appeal and a unique sound, perfect for the right mood.

As to the Mad Professor Mezzanine dub remixes on the second CD, they are truly awful in my opinion. While I think they could have enhanced the great part of this album if done correctly, I think there was a reason the remixes weren't released after they were done for 20 years. It's because they aren't good. Matrix / Runout (Side B, etched Variant 10 [No Pre-/Suffixes, 1st press]): BD26581-01 B1 3754225 i...i a b c "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time: 300–201".
