In the seventh chapter of our British Masters series, John Doran meets Tricky, to discuss missing out on working with Kurt Cobain, and how he came to be onstage with Beyonce.
In Johns words "During the culturally conservative mid 90s of Brit Pop, Tricky represented what it was actually like to be British and living in a city. As his music, fashion, entire aesthetic and philosophy was the product of embracing culture clash - we needed him then to kick against the pricks, as much as we need him back now"

@smoog 3 года назад

I read a great interview with Tricky years ago when the British hip hop artist Goldie had a really beef with Tricky for some reason (iirc Tricky had shagged Goldie's gf). One evening Tricky went into a club and Goldie was there. Goldie demanded Tricky to go outside so they could sort it out man-to-man. Tricky refused to go out, telling the interviewer that he's lover, not a fighter and, anyway, he didn't want to ruin the wedding dress he was wearing! Tricky got his revenge on Goldie with his song "Tricky Kid", from his phenomenal (and fantastically titled) album "Premillennium Tension", that have the lyrics: Knock out ya gold fronts That one fronts Braggin' on your stunts Coke in ya nose Knock out ya gold fronts Which were directed at Goldie. Lesson: don't annoy Tricky cause he will ridicule the best way he knows how; in song.

Tricky's an incredible ARTIST. Beautiful, Ugly, Violent, Tender, Prophetic...these are a few words that spring to mind when I think about his ART. I've seen him on many occasions starting way back in Bath, and then in the mid 90's at Glastonbury. He had this huge Bass Drum, it hypnotised us; the slow rhythmic beat that was so loud, hypnotic OMINOUS.There were so many people; never thought I'd seen so many people entranced..and this drum...it mesmerised us like sirens to the shipwrecked.

@calderarecords 8 лет назад

This guy is so real man. He is the only person other than Wilson from Porcupine that calls out Pop Idol, the X-factor. "One of the Worst Times For Music" - So true. You can spend 5 years perfecting your sound, release it, & get NO views, & fade away. Back in the 90's, anyone who showed potential was given a chance to project enough confidence to get on the stage. But now? None of those Mics worked on the Stage with Beyonce. They do things differently. They all Mime because all the crystal clear vocal lines are heavily processed over days of manipulation in the mixing process. Tricky doesn't need that shit. He is what he is. No Bullshit. UK - Real. USA - Fake. Simple.

@zenekciechocinek2541 6 лет назад

Maxinquaye and Pre-Millenium Tension, are one of the best trip-hop albums. I haven't got out that much off his later work. Wasn't as gritty, and dark (IMO), but False Idols, was like a comeback to early days of Bristol sound, and was the only "post-Pre-Millenium" album I liked. Although, his music is polarizing (for me, some albums I love, and some albums i can't stand) , as a person, he's great, calm guy. Would be fun chatting with him.
