My 9-month old daughter seems to be liking Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. Probably I won’t learn soon, whether I should be happy or sad about it. My father played Mozart all through my childhood and baby-hood, the result - I could tell “Linzer” from “Prager”, without hearing, just by comparing the bile levels. I hope Massive Attack won’t traumatize her like that.

My working theory is, that it’s probably the low bass sounds that she reacts to. When I buy some CD-shelf and unpack the CDs, I will be able to do more extensive testing, subjecting her to some low-frequency explorations, like Axiom Dub or Biosphere Shenzou. And when I finish the unpacking altogether, I’ll possibly dig a little deeper into the topic.
