Nearly God

Musician

Name used by Tricky for his 1996 collaborative album 'Nearly God', a sparse, experimental trip-hop record featuring Björk, Neneh Cherry, Martina Topley-Bird, Alison Moyet and others.

Nearly God is the name used by Tricky for a 1996 album built around collaborations. The record includes guest vocalists Björk, Neneh Cherry, Martina Topley-Bird, Cath Coffey and Alison Moyet, and contains a cover of 'Tattoo' (Siouxsie And The Banshees) and a remix titled 'Keep Your Mouth Shut' related to Björk's 'You've Been Flirting Again' (as noted in the review).

Nearly God is presented as a sparse, experimental trip-hop record built around collaborations with notable vocalists. The arrangements are sketch-like and atmospheric, rewarding attentive listeners. The review highlights covers and remixes alongside original tracks; overall the reception is very positive.

For:Fans of trip-hop, experimental electronic music, and collaborative vocal-driven albums.

 Tricky's second album (although here he calls himself Nearly God!!!), features collaborations on almost all the songs with esteemed voices (Bjork, Neneh Cherry, Martina Topley Bird, Cath Coffey, Alison Moyet), creating a sparse and raw album that touches on numerous genres (hip hop, funk, jazz, ambient) without ever fully taking their form.
