so you all love Portishead (also in the indie area) so what's your fave tricky tracks???

Poems (with Terry Hall and Martina Topley-Bird)



Pumpkin (with Goldfrapp)



christianSands



Broken Homes (with PJ Harvey)



Daydraming (with Massive Attack)

The best Tricky tracks are from Maxinquaye:

 

Pumpkin, Hell Is Around the Corner, Black Steel, Overcome...

 

Although I think Tricky and Portishead should be discussed in Music Culture!

So do I as they are ecclectic and 'downtempo'.

 

Portishead was in the Culture Box but it was moved to here by someone i do not know along with the Ted Chippington thread (a Comedian)!!!!

 

this causes a bit of problems as the forthcoming Issac Hayes vs Tricky vs Portishead thread will have to be listed in the indie area now but then again i suppose Stax records was a independent record company!!!

Black Steel, Aftermath etc.

 

His contribution to Blue Lines is very important too.

 

Totally lost it after Maxinquaye though.

Totally disagree, "Pre Millenium Tension" is a fantastic album, in many ways better than "Maxinquaye", certainly a lot darker and less approachable (which is probably why a lot of people cant really handle it..) and the Nearly God stuff is pretty good as well.. It's only "Angels With Dirty Faces" that I really dislike (total w***...) "Juxtapose" and "Blowback" were both solid albums too....

 

the Maxinquaye stuff remains my favourite Tricky stuff... Aftermath and Hell is Round the Corner are absolute classics.

 

I loved the Nearly God album, too... especially the Alison Moyet and Bjork collaborations.

 

Didn't like Pre-millennium tension at all, though....

 

I bought one of his more recent CDs in Fopp for £3... there's a great version of The Cure's 'Lovecats' on there ;)

 

Has anyone got his DVD featuring the documentary he made about his formative years in Bristol? He had one helluva tough upbringing in Bristol's roughest, toughest area.... and, trivia fans, did you know he was best mates with David Cameron's wife when she was a student in Bristol? Apparently, he got his kicks taking this clueless posh bird round the seediest crack houses in the city :o :D

 

The classic line he uses in his solo and Massive stuff..

"Seduce me, seduce me, dress me up in Stussy".... love it.

Sorry mate, but I love PMT... Bloody fantastic album... The perfect follow up in so many ways... I cant really blame him for doing PMT in the slightest, he didn't want to become some 'Trip Hop' artist for Middle-Class "Guardian" readers or the chattering classes, so he did a follow-up album that was as far removed as it was possible to get - a dark, paranoid, snarling work of genius IMO... He could easily have just churned out "Maxinquaye II", but he showed he had the guts and the confidence within himself to take the genre and really do something different with it.... A totally brave decision, and I admire him for doing it...

 

He's still $h!t live though.

Never actually saw Tricky live, but I do remember seeing a Channel 4 documentary about him once which had a half-hour live set attached onto it... I wasn't too impressed tbh, so that's probably the reason why I never bothered going to a live show of his...

 

Ah, I remember that. I think that was the best I'd ever seen him! Last I remember was at the time of 'Blowback' and he really wasn't up to much at all.

"MaxinQuaye" is a bloody good album, well worth having... But people who just bang on about that and nothing else are really underestimating him...

 

Oooh, my mum is good friends with Martina Topley-Bird, great artist in her own right ^_^ I've heard snippets of his work, my mum has a few of his albums but I never get round to listening to them :lol:
