Release Notes:
Recorded / Performed : September 2008 (Canal+ / France)
Originally, Tricky was a member of the Wild Bunch, a
Bristol-based rap troupe that eventually metamorphosed
into Massive Attack during the early '90s. Tricky provided
pivotal raps on Massive Attack's groundbreaking 1992
album, Blue Lines. The following year, he released his
debut single, "Aftermath." Before he recorded "Aftermath,"
he met a teenage vocalist named Martina, who would become
his full-time musical collaborator; all albums released
under Tricky's name feature her contributions.
Tricky signed a contract with 4th & Broadway in 1994. The
contract contained a clause which allowed him to release
side projects under different names, in addition to
regular Tricky releases. "Ponderosa" and "Overcome" were
released over the course of 1994; that same year, he made
a cameo on Massive Attack's second album, Protection.
Tricky's debut album, Maxinquaye, appeared in the spring
of 1995. Not only did the album receive overwhelmingly
positive reviews when it was released, but it entered the
U.K. charts at number two, despite the total lack of
daytime radio airplay. Throughout 1995, Tricky was
omnipresent in the U.K., collaborating with and remixing
for a wide variety of artists, including Bj÷rk, Luscious
Jackson, and Whale. In the fall of 1995, he released
Tricky Vs. the Gravediggaz, a collaboration with the
American hardcore rap group, as well as a single called "I
Be the Prophet," which was released under the name
Starving Souls. At the end of the year, Maxinquaye topped
many year-end polls in Britain, including Melody Maker and
NME.
In February of 1996, Nearly God -- an album featuring
Tricky's collaborations with artists as diverse as Terry
Hall, Bj÷rk, Alison Moyet, and Neneh Cherry -- was
released, again to strong reviews; the album was released
in the U.S. six months later. After completing the second
full-fledged Tricky album, he relocated to New York City
early in 1996, where he began working with underground
rappers. An EP called Grassroots was released in the U.S.
in September. Two months later, Tricky's official second
album, Pre-Millennium Tension, was released. Again, Tricky
received positive reviews, though there were a few
dissenting opinions.
In addition to his three releases of 1996, he remixed
artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Garbage, Yoko Ono,
and Bush. Tricky's next full-length solo effort, Angels
With Dirty Faces, appeared in 1998, followed a year later
by Juxtapose, a collaboration with Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs
and DMX's Grease. In 2001, Tricky returned with the
Mission Accomplished EP, which was released by the Epitaph
subsidiary label Anti. Blowback, his first for Hollywood
Records, appeared later that June and included various
collaborations with Hawkman, Live's Ed Kowalczyk, and Red
Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis and John Frusciante.
Increasingly aware of his brooding persona in the media
and annoyed that popular music magazines had started
labeling him "the Dark Prince," in 2003, he made
Vulnerable as an attempt to expose himself as a more
accessible artist. The same year, the Back to Mine label
released an album of remixes that he compiled, before he
took a five-year hiatus from recording new material.
Knowle West Boy marked a strong return by the trip-hop
pioneer in 2008.
