Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Bristol shaman Tricky (Adrian Thawes) is one of today's odder and more inspired artists. His 1995 debut, Maxinquaye, revealed an eccentric sensibility at play, creating nightmarishly gorgeous tracks such as "Overcome", contrasted by a raucous Smashing Pumpkins sample on the chorus to the brooding "Pumpkin". A little guy with a wicked grin, Tricky is the trip-hop equivalent of Stanley Kubrick, at once original and clever, yet as dark and gloomy as his spliff-produced smoke rings. With DJ Muggs (from Cypress Hill) and rapper Grease, Juxtapose is streetwise, yet largely missing Tricky's hallucinogenic imagery. On "For Real" Tricky mutters "Some families have to live for real / I don't have to, I've got my record deal" over an itchy blues thump. A classical guitar melody begins "Contradictive", as Tricky grouses about "Mickey Mouse" and spouts "You a hardcore loving machine." "She Said" sounds conspicuously like an Underworld track, especially its lyrics. "I Like the Girls" features Muggs in a hilarious rap about lesbians, whip cream, and group sex. The raps grow more wicked on "Hot Like a Sauna" with the mumbled lines "Wanna be like Jeffrey Dahmer" and "Every day like Hanukkah". "Call Me" and "Wash Away" recall Tricky of old, with groggy vocals and Caribbean-tinged grooves creating wonderfully queasy tableaux. Tricky continues to evolve at his own irascible pace, a riddle always about to reveal itself. His journey remains equally fascinating and frustrating. --Ken Micallef
CD Description
"For Real", JUXTAPOSE's opening cut, might lead one to think that the eternally ominous Tricky had lightened up. Its lush, blissful blend of Seal-like R&B/pop and P.M. Dawn bliss-hop seems miles away from Tricky's usual apocalyptic visions. It's soon business as usual though, as urgently muttered rapping and snaky, angular electric guitar underline the foreboding element of "Boom Boom Diggy", and percolating breakbeats frame "She Said"'s moody keyboards and sinister-soundingvocals.
Tricky is undoubtedly utilising an expanded sonic palette here, as evidenced by the nylon-string guitar on "Contradictive" and "Wash My Soul", and the heavy metal powerchords of "Hot Like A Sauna (Metal Mix)". His aesthetic is as penetrating and uncompromising as ever. With assistance from American hip-hop producers DJ Muggs and Grease, JUXTAPOSE is less intimidating than Tricky's previous efforts, but no less heartfelt or satisfying.
