Tricky - Knowle West Boy (2008) | 20 / 06 / 2008 | 0
Knowle West Boy is the album that sums up everything that Tricky has accomplished since his 1995 Maxinquaye debut. From the sardonic bar-room blues of Puppy Toy to the haunting quasi-classicism of Joseph from the twisted Specials-worshipping punk of Council Estate to the bereft torchery of Past Mistake, from the Roxy Music’s The Bogus Man-at-the-dancehall […]

Harmonic 33 - Extraordinary People (2002) | 14 / 06 / 2008 | 0
“I know it’s important to keep up with evolution of sound, music, and genres, but why can’t I stop listening to Harmonic 33’s 2002 release, Extraordinary People?

Martina Topley Bird - Quixotic (2003) | 20 / 05 / 2008 | 0
It’s been eight years since Martina Topley-Bird was pushed into the murky spotlight of Bristol’s trip hop scene by former Massive Attack vocalist Tricky on his landmark solo album Maxinquaye.
