You remember the last time you pulled an all-nighter for a project you had six months to do, hadn't done any prep or written anything down because it was all in your head, but were also convinced you could create something incredible with a looming deadline and a few cups of strong coffee? We've all been there, but most of us create something on par with an album by The Mother's of Invention. But this is proof, there are talented people who can translate all the static in their heads into amazing work. Tricky is one of those people. Though this was ambitious production and relic of the independent 90's, it was a nice surprise. Maxinquaye is filled with intertwined beats, miscellaneous samples played forwards and backwards and disparate vocals. Basically everything that when combined should be crap. But for the mid 90's, this was impressive, listenable and good.
