Blowback is very varied and VERY much more commercially accessible than any of his earlier output. I enjoy quite a bit of it, especially You Don't Wanna, which is certainly radio friendly. Here's what Amazon has to say : Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Since the release of his debut, Maxinquaye, Tricky fans have wondered when he would or could match the nightmarish splendor of that trip-hop masterpiece. Blowback may not entirely appease the Tricky faithful, but it is the Bristol innovator's most satisfying album in a while. With Maxinquaye's surreal sonics lurking around its edges, Blowback is wonderfully schizophrenic, cavorting through robotically muted ragga, surging funk rock, nauseous, sample- mangled ballads, and bizarre versions of songs like the 1930s standard "Your Name" and Nirvana's "Something in the Way." In fact, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morrisette, Cyndi Lauper, and Live's Ed Kowalcyzk along for the ride, Blowback is Tricky's Tommy, delivered through the mouths and muscles of the stars. Blowback blows up with the arena-rock anthem "Evolution Revolution Love," featuring Kowalcyzk's familiar croon, while Tricky sings backup in a maniacal murmur. The ragga songs, which are dank and claustrophobic, are upended by the queasy flash metal of "Bury the Evidence." Finally, the trudging programming and Japanese vocals on "A Song for Yukiko" make an enigmatic gurgle that sums up Tricky's beautiful, bewildering creation. --Ken Micallef I * --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Weird... I just put in PMT for the first time in years yesterday afternoon... I forgot how much I liked Tricky and Massive Attack back in the day. I've seen both of them a few times on some of their most recent tours... I still liked Massive Attack on their Mezzanine tour, but Tricky ate ass on his last tour. It was like he was trying to be a thug and failing miserably. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@my2way.com http://www.atomly.com/ | 877.741.3571 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

yeah, i'd go with that. BlowBack & Juxtapose just don't do anything for me (which is sad, as tricky's one of my favourite artists)...however, Angels With Dirty Faces is amazing! just whack some headphones on, turn off the lights and let the man do his thing! i swear i hear new bits to the album on every listen. --- Robert Bremec <RobertB@spin.si> wrote: > Lates records (BlowBack, Juxtapose) are compilations

Ditto. I'm a big juxtapose fan too, which made me like the Mission Accomplished EP last year. The title track has a nice hard edge, the second track probably being the best featuring maddog. The third features some nice tricky lyrical style and the EP is rounded up by a proper release of 'divine comedy' which was around in a more anrgy form as a bootleg for a while.

The blowback LP is a bit of a funny one. I liked tricky when he had issues. Now he's given up wheat, he's made an album which is a bit pony at times. The album features cyndi lauper, the red hot chilli peppers, alanis morrisette, a cover of the wonder woman theme.. hmm, sounds a little dubious. It's not all bad stuff, but it's probably my least favourite tricky release. Be sure to get the baby namboos.

yeah, it is 'inertia creeps'. very cut-up, though, just a couple looped bits. np: doof - dawn of a new error ----- Don Dresser WIUS EM Director PTLF Agent #23 AIM: Walker904 ----- "You can't fight city hall but you can for goddamn sure blow it up" -George Carlin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Not only did you say "tail end" in the context of describing a Victoria's Secret commercial you also interestingly mentioned "knock-up job". !
