On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

The First Trick, Again...

 

I've shared & hyped Tricky's debut Maxinquaye here in the past. I still stand behind my claim that it is one of the greatest albums of all times.

Tricky's genius lies in the way he writes songs that aren't songs, lyrics that trail off at the edge of recognition, music that bypasses reason. He doesn't sing, or rap in any recognised way.

Maxinquaye was an album of its time but now, all these years later, it belongs to a category beyond that of mere genre, beyond both time & sensibility. It's one of those albums whose radicalism is matched by its brilliant immediacy, a barrage of sound whose initial revolutionary impact has been followed by an undimmed afterlife.

In 2023, Tricky released Maxinquaye (Reincarnated). The version I bought is 49 tracks. The first 12 tracks are the Abbey Road remaster of the original album. I was initially excited to hear it but less than thrilled with the results after multiple listens. It just pissed me off that where the original was so gringingly primitive, this was just so over-produced.

So I decided to do one of those Albums that Should Exist kinda things & create my own NØ Reblasted version. See what you think. Be brave. Let me know.

      Hope you enjpy this version. I'm really happy with the final project. I tacked on "Little Aftermath to 12 track set cuz I thought it was a perfect outro. Summer going good so far. Got my crops in & that's always a chore.
