Vulnerable

CD-Charts > Music > International Rap
by: Tricky

Release Date June 17, 2003
Many know Tricky through Massive Attack and while i have much love for Massive Attack I am a huge fan of Tricky and his music.

This CD is easily the best effort yet, Costanza flows perfectly with her deeply intoxicating lyrics that mesh with the dark background 'rap' of Tricky.

Best songs:
Car Crash, dark ballad of a woman in a car crash.
The Love Cats, perfectly meshed slow and sensual.

Very moody and deep, this album is another chapter in a very interesting career.

I'm compelled to write a review because I realized that since this came out I've had it on a casette and it has never been out rotation in my car stereo. This is a real band with a beautiful style.

Amazon's tracklisting seems wrong here. There is nothing complex or deep about this album....but I listen to frequently....it's totally rowdy and fun. My favorites are Ruffneck and Hold Up Your Hands.

Angels with Dirty Faces

CD-Charts > Music > International Rap
by: Tricky

Release Date June 02, 1998
a powerful, driving and spirited album that takes the listener into a million interesting, pleasurable and challenging dimensions. This artist has prided himself on breaking new ground with every release. What he achieves - whether he was conscious of this at the time of creation, or not - is music that is lasting. You can dive into this auditory blissful realm years after the fact and still be perfectly blown away.

Vision, craftsmanship and great effort have sustained this miraculous artist in moving beyond, and remaining away, from any semblance of competition.

This is a classic.

Release Date May 19, 2003
Nightmares on Wax outdoes himself (itself?) on his entry to the Late Night Tales series. This entire series is well done, but this album is the best of the best. Check it out, check it out now, this is some of the best laid back beats period.

Release Date August 26, 1997
Para todos aquellos que no son fácilmente ofendidos por las palabrotas y las parodias, entonces esos deben escuchar este cd AHORA MISMO!!!
Agresivo, cortante, pero bien tocado y conciso, el primer cd de Molotov es una experiencia que uno no se quita fácilmente de encima. Lástima que a mis oídos Molotov no superó este primer trabajo.

Release Date June 25, 2002
This cd is very different although it seems like its just a combination of alot of his other albums rolled onto one album i think it gets tricky's best. Working with people like Bjork,Allison Goldfrapp, etc. he brings a "different" taste to the trip hop scene. At times I think the way the album was put together it the tracks could of been placed in a different order but thats just my picky side. The song "Poems" which takes you on almost a depressing but enlightening road gets u ready for what the album ride is like. "Broken Homes" which features the punk/alternative artist PJ Harvey is a song which seems like the drum pattern is from a drummer boy goin to war and a choir chanting lyrics about how people just cant seem to keep things together these days."Pumpkin" which ...

Run Come Save Me

Release Date September 18, 2001
I cant say enough about how wicked this album is. I'm a caribbean new yorker and visited England in 99 when his debut was released, "Brand New Second Hand". I had heard of him before from Ninja Tune cuts, but his album was over my expectations. I have to big up my brothers in Brixton and other parts of London who showed me much love when I came. I didnt know anyone and they made my trip worth it, unlike the anglo saxon people who walk around London with their nose so high I have to wonder if their head hurts from looking down at everyone so much. Otherwise England was great, Roots Manuva is a great representative of the Black musical scene in London. His contributions to the international stage of hip hop will hopefully rival England's best contribution to hip hop, ... Read More:
