Trip-hop luminary TRICKY (born Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws in Bristol, UK, 58 years ago) released his supreme 15th full-length Different When It’s Silent 3 weeks ago.
TUTV said: The longtime trip-hop master didn’t/doesn’t change his sonic palette for
the past few years/albums. Not necessary whatsoever to my satisfied ears. His
tense and tenebrific trademark synth-grooves, mostly mid-tempo, still have a transfixing and
chilling effect.
And as ever, a vocal partner (in the early years Martina Topley-Bird, then Marta Zlakowska and Francesca Belmonte as the most notable) is an instrumental part
of Tricky‘s overall bewildering sound.
This time it’s young, riveting Bristol voice Mitch Sanders who co-stars for the greater
part with Tricky‘s whispering vocals in the back, engendering the familiar, spookish twilight atmosphere. Again Tricky makes you feel comfortable in his cliffhanging cosmic space.”
