Free Music Notes for Juxtapose
Free Music Review: Underrated Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Tricky with his fourth major album was back to his blistering best form. After the disappointing "Angels with Dirty Faces", Tricky teams up with DJ Muggs (from Cypress Hill) and Grease (amongst others) for a match (or matches) made in heaven with "Juxtapose".
The album kicks off with "For Real" - an ever-so-smooth dig at Gangster rappers and their "fake" lifestyles. The album then does a u-turn with "Bom Bom Diggy" - where Tricky is rapping some incredibly drugged fudged but memorable lines ("Drop the Bombz/Who Killed the Fonz/Henry Winkler/How does he thinker/How does he sinker" - total class peoples! To complete his epic little trilogy of songs - Contradictive is another smooth but dark song with what sounds like Iggy Pop being sampled for the chorus.
Juxtapose is short but hella sweet. Tricky even delves into some "gangster rap" of his own with cautionary tales like "She Said" and "Hot Like a Sanua".
After breaking up with Martina after his last album, Tricky continues to bring fantastic female vocalists into his dark fold - including "Wash My Soul" and "Call Me".
Overall - this is one of Tricky's best albums. Up there with, if not surpassing, Maxinquaye and Post Millennium Stress. Of course - a Tricky album isn't easy - but this is probably one of his more accessible releases. An underrated, overlooked but bonafide Tricky classic.

Bristol shaman Tricky (Adrian Thawes) is one of today's odder and more inspired artists. His 1995 debut, Maxinquaye, revealed an eccentric sensibility at play, creating nightmarishly gorgeous tracks such as "Overcome," contrasted by a raucous Smashing Pumpkins sample on the chorus to the brooding "Pumpkin." A little guy with a wicked grin, Tricky is the trip-hop equivalent of Stanley Kubrick, at once original and clever, yet as dark and gloomy as his spliff-produced smoke rings. With rappers DJ Muggs (from Cypress Hill) and Grease, Juxtapose is streetwise, yet largely missing Tricky's hallucinogenic imagery. On "For Real" Tricky mutters "Some families have to live for real / I don't have to, I've got my record deal" over an itchy blues thump. A classical guitar melody begins "Contradictive," as Tricky grouses about "Mickey Mouse" and spouts "You a hardcore loving machine." "She Said" sounds conspicuously like an Underworld track, especially its lyrics. "I Like the Girls" features Muggs in a hilarious rap about lesbians, whip cream, and group sex. The raps grow more wicked on "Hot Like a Sauna" with the mumbled lines "Wanna be like Jeffrey Dahmer" and "Every day like Hanukkah." "Call Me" and "Wash Away" recall Tricky of old, with groggy vocals and Caribbean-tinged grooves creating wonderfully queasy tableaus. Tricky continues to evolve at his own irascible pace, a riddle always about to reveal itself. His journey remains equally fascinating and frustrating. --Ken Micallef
