Been enjoying seeing everyone's picks!  I had a question about this 
one, though.



>Maxinquaye - Tricky (to say tricky took hip - hop to another place 
>is a massive understatement)




Be forwarned...i absolutely love this record.  But if your statement 
is true...why do you reference his first record, where he's still 
wandering about in Massive Attack territory? i mean he's even got 
lyrics that he used on 'protection' reworked for 'maxinquaye'. (maybe 
even some from 'blue lines' too?)

Seems to me that Tricky started to move in a whole new direction a 
bit later...Maxinquaye fits pretty neatly in the 'trip hop' genre, 
for me.  Is your statement general about his body of work, or 
'maxinquaye' in particular?

His later stuff i don't particularly like, to be honest with you. 
He's touted as some enigmatic genius, or something, which i don't buy 
at all...i just think he smokes too much pot.
