Product details

A bright and clean(ish) first half containing fab riffs on Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" and the theme from Wonder Woman, gradually twists into the kind of shadowy raving Tricky is best known for. To wrap things up, the final listed track, "Song For Yukiko" throws a swerve. It's a strange, beautiful piano-based song that's unlike anything he's done before. There are two additional tracks on the CD, including an "Evolution" remix, but that's where it should end.
Great contributions from most of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cyndi Lauper and Alanis Morissette help shape an album that, as always, sounds like nothing else on the planet.
Anyway, repeated listening on a long train journey to and from Sheffield has confirmed my initial suspicion. Tricky has made a fine album with some exceptional support from a range of vocalists. Hawkman offers a deep, scary growl while Ambersunshower gives her beautiful tones to a couple of tracks lifting them higher than you can hope. Even Cyndi Lauper manages to finally burn her netting skirts and hairbands and prove what she has been begging people to believe for 15 years - she is no novelty act. The only disappointments are the Chilli Peppers style Girls (pointless) and surprisingly the Tricky/Cobain collaboration "Something in the way" which just doesn't quite work.
An interesting, deep yet easily accesible album and one which I am sure towards the end of the year will feature in many best of lists.
