Great stuff. That was the first Bowie album that I ever bought. I think that it's one of his best; pure stripped-down hard rock. Pity about the rather dubious album cover, though, lol.
You know more about Tricky than I do!One of the great UK albums of the 90's and dub/hiphop (what genre is that album? I have no idea!) which seemed to exist in it's own time and space before and after it was released. I read a really good new review of it in the last few months.
"The crux of Tricky’s early music is the combination of his own deep-smoked vocals and the wispy, melancholy delivery of Martina Topley-Bird, a teenager who Tricky met when she was sitting on a local wall, drunk on cider, after finishing her exams. That chance meeting alone was essential to the genesis of Maxinquaye."
This was my favourite track of his
I thought the vocals from Terry Hall add something to the Tricky ones, difficult to say what exactly though.
I remember Tricky also appeared in a Tool video.

You know more about Tricky than I do!
It's just an album that stands out for me as one I enjoyed when it came out and still enjoy it now.
Thanks for all the info, I now know more about Tricky than I did!

Portishead, now your talking, some proper tunes back then!Hello Paul,
If I'm honest I don't know much about him, but looking back it was released to 1994/1995, were great years for albums. I was a teenager and remember some of those releases just as I was getting into music and some of them blew my mind at my time, and looking back some of those albums have aged really well. Portishead and Tricky were a few releases I remember getting from the library and copying them to tape and they still have a special place in my heart many years later!
