Review: Tricky's Maxinquaye is one of the undisputed high watermarks for the divisive trip-hop term, but it's better to consider it as a complex, nuanced portrait of urban UK malaise in the mid 90s. There's aching beauty in the musical make-up as much as Martina Topley-Bird's stunning voice, and there's artful ugliness, unease and paranoia, not least in Tricky's unmistakable flow. This re-wrote the rules on what hip-hop could be, and it remains an indelible expression and document of a place in time. Alongside the extended Super Deluxe editions of the album, this single LP pressing features the original album remastered and sounding better than ever.
