Tricky :: Concert Videos :: Vol. 28
The UK town of Bristol, across the water from Wales,
brought trip hop to the world. Portishead, Massive
Attack, and this week's guest -- Tricky -- all
sprang from that small city's vibrant music scene.
Tricky's most recent album, Knowle West Boy,
is a visceral take on working-class England,
and is an autobiographical account of his childhood
in the housing projects of Bristol.
"Girls"
"Overcome"

Wasn't he also in the movie the Fifth Element? If this is the same guy, I didn't know he was a rapper. Interesting.

Yes, indeed, Tricky was in the Fifth Element.

This brings back memories...lazy days in the garden listening to his hypnotic vibes. Trip hop was inflential to lead me to take music up professionally, and Tricky and Portishead lead the way.
