TRICKY
MAXINQUAYE
20th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED NUMBERED EDITION 180g RED COLOURED vinyl
NEW/SEALED
IN STOCK AND READY FOR IMMEDIATE DISPATCH!!!!
Around the time Tricky emerged as a solo artist, independent of the Massive Attack collective, he was asked to describe his music.
"If you want to dance to it, go ahead. If you want to sit in a darkened room and let it fill your head with strange thoughts, that's fine too".
'Trip Hop', a term Tricky soon grew to despise, has become so omnipresent over the years, that it's easy to forget how outside the mainstream it once was. Tricky's 1995 debut Maxinquaye is one of those albums that brought the music to the forefront, entering the UK charts at #2 on its release despite a shocking lack of airplay, and ending up topping many, many year-end lists.
But despite its being a harbinger of one of the most prevalent music styles of the nineties, it exists outside of trends and time and still stands as a powerhouse of musical innovation almost twenty years on.
Vocalists Martina Topley-Bird and Goldfrapp work as modern day female Pied Pipers, luring you into Tricky's dark, menacing, haunting and overall disturbing world: a ghostly Hades painted in vivid imagery by Tricky's lisping and lilting flow on top of tantalizing beats.
An essential album for any collection if ever there was one...
