having waited in anticipation and bought the album on the day of it's
release, i was initially a bit disappointed with it, didn't like the
vocals on it. but...having listened to it several more times since, it's
really grown on me. it shows a sense of humour while maintaining a dark
underworldy quality [no, not the band, the gangster type :) ].
definitely more of a return to the more "maxinquaye" sound in that it's
lightened up since his progressively darker 3-4 previous albums. "for
real" is a great track [and worth getting the single to hear his version
of m's "pop musik"]. also like "she said" and "scrappy love". "i like
the girls" makes me laugh. :)
still on the tricky vibe, track down the terry hall ep "rainbows" to
hear the tricky/terry hall live remake of the specials' "ghost town". it
really is excellent, slowed right down and made sinister in a uniquely
tricky type way. :)
