For much of the past year, Tricky has been in Paris exercising a little philanthropy. Sitting in the living room of his city-centre apartment on a bright October afternoon, and inhaling deeply on the kind of cigarette one doesn't find in the local newsagent, he nevertheless cuts quite a different figure to the trip-hop maverick whose 1995 album Maxinquaye is frequently hailed as one of the decade's...
I really can't tell you much about Sneaky beyond what I know listening to his debut release Feel Like A King...Pluck A String and from having dug around a little on the net. I do know he's a European based musician/composer/producer/DJ who's worked with or remixed a whole slew of artists, most notably appearing on Mr. Scruff 's big hit Get A Move On! playing bass (on which he's classically trained)....
‘m watching re-runs of Girlfriends right now and I think, “I would book Lynn and Finn to play a wedding.” Since hearing her perform with Tricky on the show I’ve been waiting for her CD. Finally White’s debut CD “Mecca” will be released on Sunday 25 October (her birthday). Her first single Wanting was released this past week with a Promise [...]

Quite a while ago I featured a trip hop track by Minuit and was sent this awesome track, Hell is Round the Glory Box, by Portishead and Tricky.. [Thanks Alvaro]
The UK town of Bristol, across the water from Wales, brought trip hop to the world. Portishead, Massive Attack, and this week's guest -- Tricky -- all sprang from that small city's vibrant music scene. Tricky's most recent album, Knowle West Boy , is a visceral take on working-class England. " Council Estate " " Past Mistake " " Girls " " Overcome "
Trip hop is a music genre also known as the Bristol sound. The trip hop description was applied to the musical trend in the mid-1990s of downtempo electronic music that grew out of England’s hip hop and house scenes. It is often rejected as a term by those artists to whom it is applied. [...] Trip hop gained notice via popular artists such as Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, [and] Thievery...
That's a line from an old tricky song, off of his 1995 debut, MAXINQUAYE, one of the "key" albums of the then-emerging genre of trip hop. Buried in the mid-1990s time capsule here in the states (awaiting retro chick excavation in 2011), it's heard on the TRANSPORTER 3 soundtrack in the love scene between Jason Statham and his package du jour , Natalya Rudikova. I'd love this film just for...
Last night I went to see Tricky, who rose to fame in the early '90s as part of Massive Attack and then with his breakthrough solo album, Maxinquaye, which did much to establish "trip-hop" as both a scene and a...
review by Philip LaRose photos of Tricky by Narisa Spaulding Last weekend, I was at the Showbox at the Market to see trip-hop pioneer Tricky, on tour with Seattle artist Anomie Belle. KEXP’s own DJ Kid Hops spun a cool mix of reggae, dub, trip-hop, and breakbeat before and between the sets. Anomie Belle is the solo project [...]
photos by Faith-Ann Young ..."Most of the songs came off as early 90s industrial dance music - big beats, big sounds, not much else. Even classics such as "Karma Coma" were roughed up by the sound and presentation. The closer,...
Tricky - "Council Estate" Tricky (Showbox at the Market) Tricky, the street name for Adrian Thaws, a Bristol-born rapper, programmer, and producer, is one of the main figures of the triphop movement that surged in the mid '90s and receded in the early '00s. Though his level of fame is now nowhere near where it used to be in 1995, Tricky never really cracked the mainstream of American popular...
