surely you must remember the fuss that surrounded maxinquaye when it was released in '95?
i'd hardly call tricky underrated in light of that. he was really hyped up at that time, along with massive attack (who had just released protection) and portishead, who had just put out their debut.
mo-wax were getting recognised too, and lavelle had actually tried to sign tricky & portishead. so, at they time, he was pretty highly rated i reckon. a lot of people knew who he was; i guess he just put them off with his darker, more idiosyncratic releases.. and then lost everyone with his last few releases.
maxinquaye is still my favourite. i liked angels with dirty faces too, but none of his later releases have fulfilled the potential of his debut.
pity.

From the look of this thread I think I am the only one here who likes his most recent stuff. I have a lot of time for Tricky

i dunno.. maybe i'm missing the point.
i haven't heard his latest album.. but when he moved to NYC he just seemed to lose that grimey, crackly, off-kilter groove that maxinquaye had. it all sounded as though it could fall apart at any moment.
last i heard of his stuff, he was trying too hard to sound like the american MCs & producers that had inspired him - and it wasn't really working.

hmm, i've listened to vulnerable the other day, and it isn't all that bad...infact there are quite some pretty great songs on it!
looks like he's changing back to good after the blowback, which was quite disappointing. this new italian singer he got for vulnerable is great (and hot).
