Tricky Appreciation Thread

[Icesickle]

He fell off after his first two solo albums, but for a while he was killing it. Blue Lines, Maxinquaye, Pre-Millenium Tension...Give some props to hip-hop's version of Trent Reznor; a grimey, melancholy genius. While I'm at it, props to Martina Topley-Bird as well, who possesses one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices I've ever heard.

Tricky (feat. Martina Topley-Bird) - "Makes Me Wanna Die" (Best emo break up song ever.)

Tricky (feat. Martina Topley-Bird) - "Christiansands" (Any song that references Helsinki gets instant props, and this video is heat.)

Tricky (feat. PJ Harvey) - "Broken Homes" (Best song he's made post Pre-Millenium Tension. He needs to make a whole album with Harvey and Topley-Bird.)

BOOOOO!

Angels With Dirty Faces belongs on the list of great Tricky albums.

Martina's solo joint was pretty dope too... Sandpaper Kisses is the shit.

[drizzle]

this takes me back some

saw him at lalapalalalaza in 97, good times. oddest stage presence ever, he doesn't do anything really except shake his head but it was strangely compelling

[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

God, i hate that cover of "Black Steel.." (my 2nd favorite P.E song) so much.

"Maxinquaye" is overrated as fuck but he has a few songs i like, mainly "Hell Is Around The Corner", "Christiansands" and "Brand Nu, You're Retro".

I liked Portishead the most out of all those trip-hop groups because, unlike the others, they didn't have some stoned foreign dude rapping badly on their songs and didn't get new-agey like Massive Attack and Tricky-solo often did.

[The Iron Sheik]

"Christiansands"

this is on pre-millennium tension

tricky is my favorite shit and probably my biggest influence

'tricky kid' is a nasty hip hop track y'all should check

i have all of his albums, even the really shitty ones

maxinquaye
pre-millennium tension
nearly god

and

vulnerable (it's pretty cheesy but i like it)

are all dope

[Masked Terror #1]

First two albums are dope.

Dig the Black Steel and Lyrics of Fury covers, even though the originals are two of my favorites ever.

Go figure.

[blastmaster]

I dont remember if I liked Tricky or Goldie...

[blessingindisguise]

Good choice I always liked Tricky.

[GM Dizzy Skillespie]

I've never checked out Tricky
but someone upped "she makes me wanna die" in a thread a while back and i checked it out based on the title.
that shit is sooooooooooooooo good
but never made me wanna go any further

[AWAE]

tricky is my hero..

i don't really care for maxinquaye but pmt, nearly god & angels with dirty faces are all classic material...

a true original

also he wrote broken homes the day he heard biggie died..

[erksortega]

nobody liked Juxtapose?

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

lets get a tricky flood going here...truly one of the most original musicians of all time
