any idea how popular he is? i always thought of him as an pop artist, but apperantly he isn't all that popular...i check his message board here and there and there are like 10 people posting there!?!?!? im sure if half of massive attack fans would be tricky's fans he would be very popular...but apperantly that isn't so any idea on this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I thought it was the Run DMC song. |

SSX Tricky is good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
do you know this tricky im talking about, at all? :) jedi: not sure what ssx stands for... but tricky was originaly from not too far from where you live, right? |
||||||||

tricky is not as popular as massive attack but he is still very popular. at least he is in spain and italy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apperantly there aren't any geeks among his fans then :) oo, and just how popular are massive attack? :) let's say, compared to afx... |
||||||||

i know the tricky you mean. think his low popularity (if an artists popularity can be gauged by the number of people that post on their website.. perhaps its just a really obnoxious website) has something to do with the fact that his material has rapidly decreased in quality over the years.. in my opinion. he made some valid contributions to massive attack's first 2 albums (before they began letting themselves down a bit).. maxinquaye was a great album, has a really smouldering feel to it.. pre millennial tension did nothing for me.. angels with dirty faces was just trying too hard to be difficult - in spite of a few inspired moments. less and less martina topley bird with each lp. then i heard a few tracks from the next lp.. which just put me off even more, and i've not really listenened ut for any releases by him since. what could have been.. *sigh* |

more than him |
||||||||
|
|

|

maxinquaye IS a sexy album though.. reminds me of hot summer days & lusting after girls.. pity that tricky turned out to be so inconsistent really. |

an unpopular artist dosnt have unoficial fansites like this one: http://www.moon-palace.de |

|
|
his first three solo albums are shit hot, then they go poo up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seemed to coincide with him moving to new york, drinking coffee in macy gray's café & not collaborating with martina topley-bird anymore. |
||||||||
|

He's pretty popular, I know quite a lot of people that know who he is but have no clue about, ahem, IDM. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its hardly 'idm'.. if you're going to include afx in that bracket - tricky & aphex twin aren;t even slightly comparable. in that case 'idm' means absolutely nothing (marginally less than it means now). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think you got right was ophecks's saying...could also be me who's not getting it right :) anyway, i'll post my opinion as soon as my head clears up a little... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tricky seems like a bit of a nutjob |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i understood was that he was surprised these people he knows are aware of tricky, despite the fact that they know nothing about 'idm'.. but tricky isn't really 'idm (whatever that is).. and if he's not saying that tricky is 'idm' then his statement doesnt really mean anything.. does it? mentionning 'idm' becomes irrelevant. |

best course of action under these circumstances i think.. |

I'll get me coat. |

i have a pretty good idea how popular idm is and so does ophecks...so since he put it like that it means a lot to me :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how popular is 'idm'?.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i got the picture of how popular apperantly idm is, in years i spent on this message board...ophecks posts here pretty regulary as well, so im sure he also knows the same stuff about popularity of idm. i also always thought that tricky is a very popular artist...unlike "idm" artists im also quite certain (and i also know ppl that know tricky but haven't got a clue of who "idm" artists are. what i get from that is, that tricky is quite a popular artist...i can't tell his sales figures from this, but it gives me at least some idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that isn't exactly that great explanation, not to mention weird structure of the post...but i really can't think straight right now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i get it. but the whole thing (not just your post) seems a remarkably convoluted way of making a rather tangental point. |
||||||||
|

Narco-Erotic music at it's finest...who else comes even close?...Massive are cool I agree, but their tunes never get near the crackedup-smackup feel of Tricky... The double tracking of Tricky and Martina on maxinquaye was simply perfect...no doubt it'll be viewed as a key 90s album in the decades to come; the guy takes chances with the expectations of his audience - the true mark of a real Artist to this mind... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what can I say, I love the guys voice... I have been meaning to buy one of his albums for years, but they're always so damn expensive here... his parts on Blue Lines are some of my favorite parts from that album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Maxinquaye is really nice but overrated (in that everyone talks about how great it is and complained to the point that they basically drove him away from the more experimental shit he was doing that was really good...) Pre-Millenium Tension is aweome so is Angels With Dirty Faces (i certainly didn't feel that way at first, but the more i listened to it, the better it got) and so is the self-titled album he released under the name "Nearly God", which was between Maxinquaye and PMT.... and features collaborations with Bjork, and other coolios... after that his output is pretty dodgy... geared to all the whiners who wanted more maxinquaye... and it's shite... they basically ruined it for the rest of us though... there's a handful of decent tracks on "juxtapose"... but that's about it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite (by far) is definitely angels with dirty faces. there isn't a bad track on this one! i liked it since the 1st time i've heard it...i got maxinquaye after angels..., and is probably my 2nd favourite. actually i love pretty much everything he released before juxtapose, couple of tunes on juxtapose are brilliant tho and i like some tunes on blowback as well. i've heard vulnerable only once rapidly, but i wasn't that impressed - but i am going to get it eventually and check it properly. i love his recent back to mine compilation tho! the man has great taste! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
tricky is very popular man, but its probably because of his fanbase... what they are like. demographics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he put out a really good track 2 summers ago that i really liked. there's some video for it too. i think the song was blowback, or maybe that's the album it's on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
had i bothered to read all of the posts, i would've seen that blowback is an album, not a song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was just using it as a reference point, I know he's not Intellectual Dork Music. Don't read too much into that statement. I could have said he was as popular as, I dunno, Placebo or something. Tolstoyed was wondering how popular he was so I just made some ''irrevelent'' off the cuff statement. Our messageboard is bustling, and the more popular Tricky's is dead. Just lots of useless comparisons. |
||||||||

|
|
someone at a particular forum mentioned something about a tricky remix album (like 26for$). hoax or real? anybody? it sounds interesting... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how is vulnerable? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pop-rock...but i have yet to get that one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best thing about angels with dirty faces was the grimey, bluesy feel to it. but if maxinquaye felt hot & smouldering.. angels had a much cooler, isolated feel to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im listening to "christiansands", damn, one of the darkest tunes ever...i'll probably go through all his albums today, im just in that kind of mood :) i really can't think of another artist that put out that many excellent songs...shame he's into "happy happy" music now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is he?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, compared to his older stuff he is :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maxinquaye.... fuking hot shyt pre-millenium tension...still nice one, but not so catchy blowback..a little bit commercial as many people say but I like most of the tracks nearly god...I have it in my collection for a long time but I still haven´t listened to it more than twice Juxtapose...ehm...maybe two of them... ....and so... KarmaComa remixes are greatt.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

tricky is brilliant, or was brilliant I should say. i couldn't agree more with Jand. (see above) he never seems to be that popular but he is well known. I always think of him as being the under-dog of his music scene....not appreciated in his time.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"of his music scene" what scene is that? he seems like a loner to me :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeah, i suppose thats what i mean. it seems that he's enemies with everyone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tricky is a real poet.... I love his music... But some tracks in his latest album(s)... Don't really seem like him... :) |
||||||||

tricky is a poo poo |
