Maxinquaye is much more skewed, sonically speaking, then massive atack coul ever be. i really enjoy massive attack also but tricky's solo stuff is genius - all of it. perhaps tricky does smoke alot of pot - but what does that have to do with it? and the rest of massive attack doesn't? for that matter, the majority of trip hop artists? anyway, i do consider the man a genius - his lyrics and the way he reworks them rather it be as a massive attack song, as a song on the "city of industry" soundtrack or a solo work. that IS part of his beauty. god bless the freaks t Traig Foltz Audio Production Specialist University of Notre Dame Office of Information Technology Office: (219)631 - 3752 Fax: (219) 631 - 8777
