The passion is there and it must be rewarded because I understand objectivity, but music, at certain moments, is emotional and transcends any possible rational description.
The review is beautiful and heartfelt. The album is splendid as well, except that (I’m not sure) but I don’t think it’s signed "Tricky"... I should check it...
I don't understand why it's categorized under Tricky, since it was released under the moniker Nearly God, as a side project. And to talk about "joyful creativity" seems delusional to me. If there's a sick record, it's this one; just look at the insert with Tricky crawling towards the red door... Speaking of delusions, giving 4 stars to this, which is one of the most important albums of the '90s, perhaps even superior in a certain way to the first one, while all the crap on this site gets 5 stars, seems completely insane.
Trell, my punisher... you know I’m paradoxical and opposed to all this nonsense of 5s, the latest 16 horsepower seems really ugly to me, if we give 5 to that, Nearly God deserves twelve, right? P.s.: I’m re-listening to "Brighten the corners," and here's another nice 5.
So my apologies, I thought the name was just thrown into the mix. But here on DeBaser, every reviewer gives personal evaluations, I think, and they are separate from what can be the "history of music" and a global view of the ratings. But come on, Secret South may not be great but it’s not really crap...
Trell, apologies no but you know that in our relationship you are the dominant one:-). I didn’t mean to attack 16 Horsepower, which I actually respect, I was just trying to bring things back to their rightful size and remind that this little disc, listened to again last night (speaking of the site's functions, what I love most is that it brings back from the dust, and the chaos, albums I might not have listened to in ages) after twelve years, is truly a little masterpiece. And giving it a 4, just can't be done.
I remember being in the military in Pisa, do you know what it was like to listen to this record in the barracks during the night shifts (yes, I admit it!)? A nightmare in the best sense of the word.. Tricky has never repeated himself since.. I really liked the duet with Terry Hall..
During this period, I’m revisiting the first three masterpieces of this once-genius outsider from Bristol. These are albums I bought at the time, and back then, this stuff really sounded alien. The beauty is, it sounds alien even today... If he had died in 1997, after the last masterpiece of "Pre-Millennium Tension," he would be venerated like a Hendrix today. Unlike many, I actually prefer this to the great debut "Maxinquaye." Darker, more underground, and sick... the rougher recording gives it that raw edge that makes it irresistible. Masterpiece.
