Posted August 11, 200816 yr cHITX5H9RNo Isaac Hayes - Ike's Rap II/Help Me Love woRtoRiVMcA Tricky - Hell is Around the Corner yF-GvT8Clnk Portishead - glory box So which one Tricky or Portishead, put that Isaac Hayes sample to the best use?
August 12, 200816 yr As much as I love Portishead's "Glory Box", I think the edginess of Tricky's "Hell Is Round The Corner" slightly wins out.... But, if we were to talk about albums.... I'd say "Dummy" overall is the better album than "Maxinquaye"....
August 13, 200816 yr I always preferred Tricky at the time but I can appreciate 'Glory Box' as a better piece of music overall...but lyrically Tricky triumphs. The question is, how much of the words did he write and how much did Massive Attack as their the same as 'Eurochild'? Funnily enough, I'd also say 'Maxinquaye' is a much better album than 'Dummy' though!

The question is, how much of the words did he write and how much did Massive Attack as their the same as 'Eurochild'? Isn't Tricky credited as the co-writer of "Eurochild" anyway....? Seems a safe bet the words would actually be his, while the music was Massive's.....
August 14, 200816 yr Oops - not often I get a their and they're wrong.. Anyway, yeah I wasn't sure. I suppose it depends on whether Massive Attack have a credit on 'Hell is Round the Corner'. It's the same story with 'Overcome' and 'Karmacoma'.
August 14, 200816 yr I have loved both for many years, and I would have to go for the order I first heard them - Portishead and then Tricky. Both are clearly excellent pieces of music, and HIATC got me into Tricky first, so I cannot underestimate its influence on my taste in music.
