This is pretty cool, But if we're comparing the two, Tricky's version is vastly superior. IMHO of course :) Maxinquaye and Blue Lines are better than anything else remotely "trip-hop"

@idlepixels actually, Dummy was released August 22, 1994, while the sessions for Maxinquaye had started early in 1994, and the album was released in 1995. however, Tricky did not sample Portishead; he used the same original song (Ike's Rap II), and this is proven by the album's liner notes. the only voices that appear at the end of the loop (and not every time) are Martina Topley-Bird's, and what I believe are slowed down samples of Isaac Hayes' voice (it was his song that was sampled)

@bv3Problems tricky, portishead and massive attack are all from the same small city, were all friend and shared music and ideas. portishead's dummy ft. glory box actually came out in 93 (the single was released 2 yrs later) whereas tricky's maxinquaye didn't come out until 95. irony was not a factor. furthermore, tricky's version sample's portishead, as you can clearly hear beth's voice at the end of the loop

@bv3Problems and Tricky's rap is from a Massive Attack track (but you probably know that)
-

Seems what a lot of people don't realize is the reason the 2 songs work so well together is because both Tricky and Portishead sampled the same track (Ike's Rap) for their respective songs, ironically enough, in the same year.
