i saw him in the afternoon at alpine valley (an outdoor venue) in 
wisconsin and he was amazing, it was very intimate, powerful and 
disturbing.  exactly how does he move his head like that?  it's as if 
his neck is not connected to anything.  the light bulb was a great 
addition.  ah yes,  the first time i heard "she makes me wanna die" 
the earth stopped and i frantically ran out to find this cd.  ms. 
topley bird's contribution cannot be overstated here - what an angel. 
it was spiritual, so i immediately bought Maxinquaye also after that 
purchase i almost stopped playing music and buying cd's.  then 
"nearly god" came out......

i liked the tricky produced "baby namboos" cd also just for the last 
three songs on it - i believe it's tricky's cousin or something.
