Tricky
Standsouts:
If you can't deal with boundries being pushed, styles twisted, genres mashed,
or your auditory senses challenged, you'll HATE this album. Fortunately I love
being challenged, especially in this age of souless, prefab pop. Only a small
handful of artists of any note have enough integrity and true creativity to
break new ground and smash convention. Along with Radiohead, Ryuichi
Sakamoto, David Sylivian, Audio Active and a few others, Tricky is solidly in
this category. His soul is in each track. From dark mumbling to funky rhyming,
Tricky is speaking HIS language "It means we'll manage." Each of his works
offers something completely different from the others. While I enjoy all of
them, "Angels" is my favorite; dark when dark, funky when funky, strange
when strange and neurotic throughout. One might listen to this cd regularly
for years and still be discovering subtlties tomorrow.
