Tricky co-wrote and rapped on three tracks: "Daydreaming", "Five Man Army" and "Blue Lines". >
... Tricky
rapped on and co-authored a trio of tracks on Massive's alluring 'Blue
Lines' LP. And it was said that 'Aftermath' might have formed part of
that
LP, and also the upcoming solo LP of former Massive man and Soul II
Soul
legend Nellee Hooper. <
>
He gave
them a song he'd written called 'Daydreaming' and asked if Shara Nelson
could sing. They thought it was another of Tricky's funny little plans
but when they heard the result... well, it was amazing.<

Tricky co-wrote and rapped on 'Karmacoma' (same lyrics as 'Overcome') and 'Eurochild' (some lyrics from 'Hell is round the corner'). >
Tricky:
"I see things very differently to them and it's quite frustrating. All
I did was write lyrics and a beat was given to me to rap over. My way
of
thinking was always alternative to them. One day I'll probably work
with
them again but there's animosity between us... I've got animosity
towards
them for saying they co-wrote 'Karmacoma' when I did all the music and
most of the words, and they've got animosity towards me for doing my
own
thing. It's something you can't put your finger on." <

In fairness,
May's "Post" was not a trip hop album by any stretch of the
imagination,
but it shared with the premier trip hoppers a taste for the re-knotting
of idioms that must have greatly appealed to them. That Björk
herself
greatly appealed to Tricky was to be revealed later in the year, via a
musically royal romance. <
