The Baby Namboos was a loosely-defined Trip-hop group founded by Trick's cousin Mark Porter, with vocalists Aurora Borealis (Zoe Bedeaux), Leo Coleing, Claude Williams (of The Wild Bunch), with bassist Julian Brooke & drummer Mad-Dog.
They only released three shorts & one full-length. Although they sound much like Tricky's earliest two, even with the Martina sounding doppleganger of Zoe Cedeaux & the guest help from Tricky himself, I can never get enough of the initial Tricky (or Massive Attack) sound so I listen to this often, right in the Tricky mix but a great slab of music unto itself. Plus the two bonus remixes make it more than worth the listen.

Thanks for the Baby Namboos, Nate. Anything even remotely Tricky-related gets my vote. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThink you'll like this one.
DeleteA longtime friend challenged me to name my Top Ten All-Time LPs. (I'm 62 and worked for decades in music retail, so there's a lot to choose from.)
ReplyDeleteAncoats2Zambia was #11. Missed the cut by such a thin hair, I hedged and sent him *25* titles. Because who is he to tell me who to love?
I could never pick a Top Ten, probably not even a Top Twenty-five. I would be constantly annoyed with the ones I left off & constantly thinking of ones I had overlooked. Maybe I could do a Top Thousand. I know this album is definitely in my Top Thousand. Thanks, PW.
DeleteNice one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tonegent.
