 "A Great Guide" July 23, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This cd is very different although it seems like its just a combination of alot of his other albums rolled onto one album i think it gets tricky's best. Working with people like Bjork,Allison Goldfrapp, etc. he brings a "different" taste to the trip hop scene. At times I think the way the album was put together it the tracks could of been placed in a different order but thats just my picky side. The song "Poems" which takes you on almost a depressing but enlightening road gets u ready for what the album ride is like. "Broken Homes" which features the punk/alternative artist PJ Harvey is a song which seems like the drum pattern is from a drummer boy goin to war and a choir chanting lyrics about how people just cant seem to keep things together these days."Pumpkin" which features Allison Goldfrapp is a Smashing Pumpkins sampled song which is a very mellow and almost seems like it is halloween when your listening to it. The album overall is a great album and is just a poetic and very settle rollercoaster..

Sjajna kompilacija koja pravi presek onog sto smo slusali sa uzivanjem tokom devedesetih i cemu smo se divili, a sto je pocetkom dvadesetprvog veka polako pocelo da nestaje.
Za svaku preporuku, i ako nemate sve Tricky albume ova kompilacija je pod obavezno.
Uzivajte u melankolicnim tonovima.
How to buy Tricky November 22, 2005

How to buy Tricky? I consider Maxinquaye and Pre-Millenium Tension as the first stops, but as a sampler for the critical years between 1993 and 1999 this Ruff Guide makes a useful overview that will point you to your own preferences. The tricky kid did pretty well as a non-singer non-musician from the Knowle estates of Bristol, first with Massive Attack and then on his own (Overcome was a reworking of Massive Attack's Karmacoma), creating some of the most innovative and atmospheric music of the nineties.
Of course, in Martina he was fortunate to have discovered an incredibly gifted interpreter and singer whose contribution to his records cannot be overestimated. He also featured a pre-Goldfrapp Alison Goldfrapp, who made her name on the oddly titled 1995 hit single Pumpkin (it sampled the Smashing Pumpkins' Suffer). His knack of finding fruitful collaborators extended to better known names such as PJ Harvey (on Broken Homes), Terry Hall (on I Be The Prophet and Bubbles, both from the Nearly God project) and DJ Muggs (Wash My Soul and Scrappy Love, from 1999's Juxtapose).
With the exception of Singing The Blues (a cover of Mary McCreary's 1974 song, not Guy Mitchell or Tommy Steele, though I'd like to hear Tricky's version of that!) from Angels With Dirty Faces, and those already mentioned, all the track selections were singles, and, unfortunately, are generally presented in their shortened single edit formats, though Aftermath is the full five minutes of Version One (track 4 on the Aftermath UK CD single) and I Be The Prophet is the version with drums (track 3 on the Starving Souls UK CD single).

This album has a couple of tracks from each of Tricky's albums. It has a couple of songs that don't seem to meet the feel of the rest of the album, but overall, it is fantastic. This album has led me to buy several other Tricky albums.
