Tricky- Knowles West Boy - Thumbs Up!

[Waylo]

I used to be a big Tricky fan back in the day... one of the reasons why I was driven to get into electronic music production. After the "Angels with Dirty Faces" album I stopped listening- i thought that album was too chaotic and unfocused.

I just picked up the "Knowles West Boy" album yesterday and am absolutley loving it. There are a few songs I could do without, but overall the album is dirty dirty beautiful and shows off some really amazing production work.

If anyone is into this sound I highly recommend checking it out. Highlights include 'Council Estate' and just about every track after it.

He does such a sick job of melting progressive technical production techniques with an overall dirty, grimy, saturated sound.

check it out.

Never been a huge fan of Tricky, that's not to say i don't like him though I do have Dummy by Portishead here in the vault somewhere. I'll give the album a listen, always up for some inspiration here and there

And speaking of inspirational albums, one which always fixes my writers block is "Treasure" by Cocteau Twins. Love it

Cool will check it. How does it compare to Burials stuff? He does the dirty but organic sound really well.

I too enjoyed Tricky as a young lad, he got me into the Bristol sound, especially Massive Attack. Council Estate has a cool feel with nice editing and tape delay sounding efx. I dig how the video matches up w/ the the audio glitches and edits

thanks for sharing the vid.

I do love me some tape delay.

You know i'm grabbing that "kaaaa..." sample at the end of the track
