Mesopotamia is an EP by American new wave band the B-52's, released in 1982. It was produced by David Byrne of Talking Heads and was originally planned to be the band's 3rd studio album. Due to conflicts with Byrne and record label pressure, recording sessions were aborted prematurely and only 6 of 10 songs to be completed were released. The record was distributed as a 12-inch EP by Warner Bros. in the U.S. Mesopotamia is considered a departure in style for the B-52's, with Byrne and the band adding additional instruments, vocal overdubs, horns, synthesizers and layered percussion.
