I haven't bought or really listened to any Tricky since Angels With Dirty Faces, which is a very bad record. However, Maxinquaye & Pre-Millennium Tension are very near to my heart... After listening a lot to PMT tonight, I'm wondering.. what are thoughts on his other, more recent, output? - wells oliver || wells@submute.net "I wouldn't know because I don't read, but I'll tell you one thing for sure: I wouldn't trust no words written down on no piece of paper especially from no Dickinson out in the town of Machine.

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
