Tricky - Ponderosa - Maxinquaye(1995)

[jointhemodernworld]

thrilling

[dwynnell]

Haters and wandering disciples, quit your "bable"... kick back, feet relax, listen, absorb, appreciate, enjoy.

[LRMMA]

A masterpiece. * * * * *

[MrHokeykokey]

The way she sings that note in the "MO" of "slow MOtion" ...never fails to give me goosebumps! ( see from 2:58) <3<3<3

Are there any of her own solo songs that anyone would recommend?

[Murdochsk]

Changed music for me.... This album was something completely different grimy slowed down samples.... hypnotic beats.... Gravediggaz around the same time with RZA and Prince Paul Ithink the next 5 yrs were 75% this album and Gravediggaz.

[Swisstoful]

I have this album on vinyl, totally staggering bit of work

[kralle7611]

@Swisstoful how often do you listen ti it on lp?

[crimsonsamuraiftw]

This song always reminded me of the old Kurosawa films' soundtracks. Thanks for uploading such a great tune! :)

[mwnciful]

the mind's a crowd -- search for the the spaces

And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces.

Been up ahead - can't make head or tale of it

I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless.

You see in black and white, feel in slow motion,

I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow...

(Tricky: The illusion of...until I wake up....)

Sorry they are in reverse order I'm ...ummm...lazy

[mwnciful]

They lead us outside, take us out quietly

To the cage through the bars

You see scars: results of my rage

The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino

Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino

The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino

Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino

[mwnciful]

I drown myself in sorrow

Until i wake up tomorrow

The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat

different recycles resemble me

different levels of the devils company.

[mwnciful]

The place where i stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino The place where i stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino Dont mind the crowds Search for the spaces Turn around time goes on [Turn around time's gone] A day to day basis [Take ten paces] Been up ahead Can't made head or tail of it I drink till I'm drunk And I smoke till im senseless See you black and white Feel in slow motion

[Ladyspock]

anyone fancy putting up all of the lyrics?

[toovann]

what instruments are those? awesome song~

[Luv8sU213]

Tricky has such a sexy voice.

[BigLibrarian]

@Luv8sU213

it was martina topley bird singing. Unless, of course, you are referring to the breathy salvos Tricky himself threw in. Great combination nonetheless - her and Tricky and they gave a great album.

[Luv8sU213]

@BigLibrarian I know it's Martina singing. I just meant his voice in general. Even when he's not singing, when I hear, see, or say his name, I think "sexy voice." :P

[thirdshift47]

"I drink 'til i'm drunk & I smoke 'til i'm senseless."

[BigLibrarian]

@thirdshift47

its "I smoke 'till I'm sated"

[mandark54321]

@BigLibrarian

no it's "i smoke till i'm senseless"

[napalmdeathfromabove]

Anyone know if the session track version of this song is out there somewhere?

just a little different to the album track.......looser and more improvised

[LisergicoRojo]

pffff....seems like yesterday that i picked this CD at the store, got home, put my headphones on and WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT OF MY FUCKING MIND :D

[JesalTV]

Pure gold.

[BuddhaT]

0:51 - 0:54 - Inhale, exhale. puffing some weed...niiiiice

[automaticcrystal]

one of the most. erotic. tunes. no doubt.

[cheungzane]

Amazing song.

[jpsea1]
