Music reviews of Nearly God
Music Review: Classic
Rating: 5 Stars
Happy is not a word that applies to any of Tricky's music, but Nearly God brings the creep factor to a new leval.
This is an emmaculately produced techno album, filled with tar pit layered eletrionics, frightening merky synth textures, and sounds that draw you further and further towards that fobidden door that is on the cover. You do NOT want to see what's in there, but your feet keep moving stedly towards it.
And the music draws you in as such. Tricky is a master producer, and knows as well or better than most how to spin the mood he wants, and on Nearly God, this is not lovemaking, champaign and flowers. His synths are thick and fever dream. Wierd time shifts and jump cuts-music that jumps off time to another phrase-fill this album. If you think of Tricky here as killing you and not taiking you to heaven, or taking you on a REALLY, REALLY bad acid trip, you get the idea of Nearly God.
Modern as this album is--you probably could not have technically made it before 1985--Tricky has a bone deep understanding of old school jazz, blues and funk. Listen to either the Nina Cherry or Alyson Monet tracks, and this proves indisbutable. Cherry's track especcially has that funk blues openess that goes back to Led Zeppilen jamming on the Lemmon Song. The production is modern, but the groove has a deepness no one really conveys anymore. If Tricky had been around in 1970, he could have worked with Howlin' Wolf AND Tangerine Dream and made hits for both.
Since that will never happen, get this. Keep the lights on, and whatever you hear, DO NOT OPEN THAT DOOR!
Description of Nearly God
British trip-hop phenomenon Tricky embarks on a second hypnotic, chilled-out ride to the outer limits. Guest artistes include Bjork, Neneh Cherry, Terry Hall, and Alison Moyet (who sings "Make a Change," the most accessible track here). --Jeff BatemanGeneral CDs
