2008 - KNOWLE WEST BOY RELEASED!
Tricky's new
album "Knowle West Boy" was released on Friday in Germany and will be released
tomorrow in the UK (and probably the rest of Europe?). After listening
to it a couple of times I must say I like it, although it's not as great
as my favorite albums (PMT, AWDF). I really like some of the songs, especially
the slower ones like "Past mistake", "Cross to bear" and "School Gates",
but also "Coalition" which reminds me musically and lyrically of "Money
Greedy" or "Tear out my eyes". The booklet is a big letdown, it doesn't
even have proper credits (who wrote the songs, who sang, who played which
instruments etc.). Also the lyrics are not in the booklet, so I tried to
write down the lyrics, if you want to help, send
me an email!!!
There's an
interesting little video at the Domino
website, where Tricky explains who the people on the back of the CD
cover are (it's an old family photo), I also wrote it down with the scans
of the CD artwork, check it out here.
There are
two cover songs on the album: Veronika is a cover song of "Livido Amniotico
" of the Italian band Subsonica. The singer of that band, Veronika, obviously
translated the lyrics into English (or wrote new lyrics?) and recorded
the song with Tricky. You can see a live version of the original song here.
And "Slow" is a cover of the Kylie Minogue hit, written by Emiliana Torrini.
Check out cover me for details.
1. JULY
2008 - RELEASES
There's some
confusion on my end about the release of "Council Estate". It should have
been released yesterday, but all I can find to buy is a double 7 inch vinyl.
A release on CD is announced on Amazon.com
for August 5 in the US.
About the
album "Knowle West Boy": Amazon.de
lists a release date of July 4 (for Germany), while other sellers say July
7 (for the UK). The album will be released on CD and vinyl.
5. JUNE
2008 - WIN AN iPOD!

- I'm talking to a guy called Nick Egan..."
15. MAY
2003 - TWO NEW ALBUMS & ANTIMATTER VIDEO(S)
According
to Burn It Blue
Tricky has already finished another two albums that will be released this
year: an electronia album with 14 female guest singer (including Kelis,
PJ Harvey and others) called "Nearly Goddess". Then a collaboration with
Rodigan (Radagon?) from Jamaica, with the name "Rodigan & Tricka".
The video
for 'Antimatter' is now online at Anti,
it is directed by Stephane Sednaoui. The Vulnerable DVD also contains a
video for Antimatter (Jimmy & T Remix), which is totally different.
Check out the videography for details. The 'You
Don't Wanna' (live in Rome) video is the same as the regular video that
you see at Anti.

here to show his photographies, and his new album during all the exhibition!
but unfortunately, he didn't play songs, "only" speak with everybody. I
was surprise to see him laughing so often, and he was very nice with all
that
"special"
parisian public!'

Anti
has a different cover for 'Vulnerable' now on their web site

Joe Frank used Tricky's Ponderosa' in his show "Justine", also Massive
Attack's "Protection" and "Weather Storm" in the show "Lost Soul". You
can listen to the last one online on his web
site, to the first unfortunately not.
2) 'Where
I'm From' from 'Vulnerable' has the same music as the live track "Ace Of
Spades" that Tricky was playing for a while. But the lyrics are different,
the female singer is even rapping in Italian!
3) Two Tricky
songs have been used in the TV series "24": Christiansands in the first
episode (as you can read here),
Bury The Evidence in the third episode! |

which also has the cover artwork. Tricky did the three photos himself,
as you can read besides the photos. The web site also has new
biography with interesting news: Tricky now lives in L.A., where the
album was recorded. He decided to work with Constanze Francavilla after
she sent him a demo of her own songs last year. She will also release a
solo album later on Tricky's label, which is now called Urban Poison /
Dark Brown. Tricky himself calls Vulnerable "the best record I've done",
also he says: "Vulnerable is me breaking free and being myself again". |

25. MARCH
2003- EVEN OLDER SOUNDS!
Tricky recorded
a song with the Irish Hip Hop group ScaryEire in 1993 called "R U A Friend"
(listen to it here).
The song features a lot of lyrics from Maxinquaye songs (mostly Ponderosa).
Unfortunately the song was never released officially, because ScaryEire
had problems with their record label Island.

2003 - NEW PICS AND OLD SOUNDS
The official
Tricky
web site at Anti now lists the album 'Vulnerable', too, with the release

My discography
was missing three releases that are now added: Paul Oakenfold's single
"The Harder They Come" was released in February and surprisingly it is
a different version than on the album 'Bunkka'. The female vocalist is
Keisha White instead of Nelly Furtado, the Tricky vocals are still the
same. Check out details and sounds in the discography.
Tricky also
collaborated with Kool Keith and others last year, the result is a song
from the album 'Game', called "Run Dem Red". Read more about the album
in the discography.
And last but
not least Tricky's remix of 'Le Grand Secret' by Indochine was released
in January (see discography). It seems
there also an instrumental
version of this remix exising, but I don't know where it is released...

2002 - CONFUSIONS OF ILLUSIONS
Some more
confusions about the release of Paul Oakenfold's album "Bunkka": Obviously
it was released in the US already on June 18, in the UK on June 24, but
in Germany it is not released yet. According to Amazon
it will be out on July 8. I've updated the remix
discography...
And the 'You
Don't Wanna' single which should - according to Anti - be released on June
24, didn't show up in any shop or internet mailorder.
18. JUNE
2002 - BUNKKA DELAYED TOO, DVD IN THE UK?
According
to Amazon
also the UK release of Paul Oakenfold's album "Bunkka" (with the Tricky
/ Nelly Furtado collaboration "The Harder They Come") is delayed until
June 24 (release date for the US is July 2, and for Germany either July
1 or 8).
Amazon
UK lists the release date of the "Ruff Guide" DVD still as June 17,
so maybe it is already released in the UK? If anybody has seen it or knows
anything about it, please let me know....
17. JUNE
2002 - DVD DELAYED
The DVD version
of "A Ruff Guide" that should have been out today is obviously delayed.
At least my local record store told me the new release date is July 15.

least on an import version - released on May 28 -that you can order there
for 55.19 Euro).

There are
lots of big news today: First of all Tricky cancelled all his tourdates
this summer (Werchter Festival, T In The Park, Witnness Festival, Vieilles
Charrues Festival)! Sorry for everyone who wanted to go! The reason for
this is NOT that he lost the support of his record company (as some of
these festival web sites may have announced), but that he's working on
a new album which will be released on Anti, who "fully support him for
the future to come" (according to Roger from Anti Records). His new
single "You Don't Wanna" will (finally) be released on June 24.

two articles at NME and
Intro
(in German) about Tricky's collaboration with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Also, Ferdinand
sent me a short recap from an interview with Tricky in the Dutch magazine
OOR (from 11. December):
# Mad Dog
won't be on the new album, he will record a solo album
# Tricky will
focus himself as much as he can on his own work, so less co-operations
with other artists
# on the new
album he wants to give it a lot of energy and finish the songs, not like
in the past when he just put his demos on the CDs
# the new
album will not sound like Mission Accomplished, he regards that EP as something
inbetween to fill up the gap
# the album
he did with Mad Dog (once called "Street Dog and Scrappy Love") is very
much just improvization by the two, but as both are working solo Tricky
doesn't want to release the album in the near future
(Thanks to
Ferdinand
for the infos!)

19. OCTOBER
2000 - FIRST 'MISSION' BRIEFING
Here's a short
review of the new EP from Scott:
>> Beware
all those who hate Mad dog, he's back. IMO, he's brilliant. This release
is much more hip hop orientated vocal wise, music is AWDF style live band
feel.
Mission
Accomplished:
Live sounding
track with upfront riff, sounds quite similar to "Mission
Impossible"
theme. Tricky on nearly unintelligible vocals, with a female on backing,
sounding quite Grace Jones-esque (but it isn't). Feels most similar to
AWDF. Weakest track on EP.
Crazy
Claws:
Little
jungle loop, cool bassline. Trick on vocals first, then Mad Dog takes over.
I think the next MC is Tony from the baby Namboos, He's definately a UK
MC. Those offended by faintly sexist rhymes, steer clear.
Tricky
Vs Lynx:
Mad Dog
solo style. Only 2:43 long.
Divine
Comedy:
You all
know this from the bootlegs.<<
17. OCTOBER

14. SEPTEMBER

Apocalypse

>>Now,
for true information: Tricky is currently recording an album and it is
like nothing like he's ever done...surprise, surprise. We do not have a
confirmed date, but are aiming for early 2001. In addition, his autobiography
will be released around the same time and contain a cd of unreleased and
remixed tracks from the newest album. Also, we are hoping to release a
live album in the summer of 2001. Tricky plans to tour through the spring
and summer.<<
14. SEPTEMBER
2000 - NEW ALBUM JUST A RUMOUR!
Scott sent
me the following: >> I got in touch with someone at DHR and they said
that Alec Empire has done no production work on any of tricky's music.They
did say it sounded like a good idea though.<<
So the whole
story about the new album could be just a rumour, especially since Epitaph's
web site doesn't say anyting baout a new Tricky album.(Thanks a lot
to Scott for this info!)

2. SEPTEMBER
2000 - NAKED & FAMOUS
Someone sent
me the ground breaking news that Tricky has finished his next album entitled
'Naked & Famous'! He has the info from the sound engineer Austen Lord
(See the tracklist and other details here):
>> Lord
could only say that once again Tricky has found a new sound. This is a
very guitar-heavy, "Timbaland style" drum programing, soulful, and harmonic.
His rapping is the same and lyrics range from everything from oral sex
to satin worshiping. The stand out classic tracks are "Ashes Vs. Dust",
"Illgotten" with DJ Milo of the Wild Bunch, a semi-radio-friendly R&B
atempt "Libido", and a brilliant string-filled cover of Prince &
The Revolution's "Darling Nikki". Drawbacks include the title track (horrible)and
the poor hip-hop display on "Street Dog and Scrappy Love". The one that
will cause the controversy will be "When Chistel,The Rain" (sic). The song
is a seven minute noisefest where Tricky rants about having sex with Satin
and Jewish children. >>
27. AUGUST
2000 - REGGIE KRAY
The album
of imprisoned Reggie Kray, which Tricky was rumoured to contribute one
track (as NME reported in

will be released from prison, because he has a fatal disease and only some
weeks left to live.
27. AUGUST
2000 - NO NEW TRICKY TRACK???
It seems the
Smashing Pumpkins tribute album (which should contain one cover song by
Tricky) was only a rumour. The news vanished from all Smashing Pumpkins
web sites and also Aphex Start declared:
<< All
evidence seems to deny the previously reported rumour of an Aphex Twin
Smashing Pumpkins cover track. No further information will be posted without
concrete evidence. That's why I hate posting rumours. Ah well,they're still
fun.>>
5. AUGUST
2000 - NEW TRICKY TRACK???
The imusic
mailing list reports that Tricky will contribute to a Smashing Pumpkins
tribute album which should be released next spring. His contribution is
a cover of the song "Luna" and it features Beth Gibbons from Portishead.
