Tricky’s debut album is an intoxicating listen possessed by a rare, wicked beauty.So while it’s far from the easiest of listens, even so long after its release, this set is as essential to any record collection as Pet Sounds, Purple Rain and Paul’s Boutique. Believe the critical consensus, as in this instance it’s entirely accurate. […]

Over the years Tricky’s excessive tendencies have at times made his work difficult to access. However his collaboration with co-producer Mark Saunders helps to keep Maxinquaye in checkand even today it remains his one true masterpiece. […]
