Along the way we find a mindboggling cover of Nirvana's 'Something in the Way', mindboggling because it's awful but also because it becomes apparent that Tricky in his mind was toying with a "masterplan" to crack the American market…of the year 1992. Only towards the end with 'A Song for Yukiko' does some of his old grace and brilliance shine through, a forlorn jazzy piano-sample flows under the talk of a Japanese woman, but it is all just too little, too late. All dub, all beauty, all futurism sacrificed for mental sanity, a trade-off that had to be made for Tricky to survive, but for us to curse forever. Man, you used to be a beautiful mess, now you're just a mess. (door Omar Muñoz in www.kindamuzik.net, 2001) | |
