Tricky - Tricky Kid


So, eventually, I'm back. Sorry for the delay. Also moved over to Zippyshare, which seems like good timing considering Mediafire have sent me my first 'Strike' today (which also includes a big thanks for using their service. Sweet.)

Tricky's from Bristol, as am I. Admittedly he's from an estate that no-one wants to go to, and they periodically cut bus services because they get attacked, while I'm from a quiet, white, middle-class neighbourhood. But it's the same town. We Bristolians stick together.

This track's off the second Tricky album, 'Pre-Millenium Tension', which is, I think, as good as the first LP. It's quite different, and not as commercial as 'Maxinquaye', but really very, very good. This is, to be honest, a mental choice for a single. Great, but really nuts.

First b-side is good, really chilled in comparison to the single. Possibly a little repetetive. The second b-side is great, really reverb-y live sound. This could have been an album track, easy.

The live version of 'Suffocated Love' (off Joolz Holland's show) is brilliant. Really, really good. This is a find. Properly A Find. Completely different to the LP version. I won't tell you why. Listen.

1. Tricky Kid
2. Devil's Helper
3. Smoking Beagles
4. Suffocated Love (live)

Here you go.
