Sound of Vinyl

For Tricky’s fifth album Juxtapose he teamed with DJ Muggs (the architect of Cypress Hill’s sound, a clear precedent for Tricky’s) and DMX’s producer, Grease. This album is quite obviously a Tricky album: a highly eccentric artist, an unusual mix of collaborators, an entirely new expression and message. Tricky continues to evolve at his own irascible pace, a riddle always about to reveal itself. His journey remains equally fascinating and frustrating. Two tracks with DJ Muggs find their way to the only single “For Real” (“Pop Muzik”, a cover of the song by M) and the Japanese release (“Who”).
