Tricky made a low-key entrance onto the music scene as a guest vocalist on Massive Attack`s 1991 classic Blue Lines. There was little indication that he would resurface four years later with an album as powerfully unsettling as Maxinquaye. Accompanied by the sweet-voiced Martine, Tricky takes the listener on a tour of the dark corridors of his mind, dealing exclusively in paranoia and obsession. The striking rhythms of stand-out tracks `Overcome`, `Hell Is Round The Corner` and `Suffocated Love` merge seamlessly with a hard-rock reworking of Public Enemy`s `Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos` and the warped soul of `Abbaon Fat Tracks` to create one of the 90s` most compellingly atmospheric records.
