Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk
Pre-Millennium Tension picks up where the first album, Maxinquaye, left off, but this CD fulfils the promise of Tricky's unbounded spontaneity and fondness for sonic digression. Abandoning the accessible pop of Maxinquaye, Pre-Millennium Tension serves up a beguiling array of sound effects, electro distortion and fragmented lyrics that amount to a rich--if bizarre-musical montage. As suggested by its title, this disc zeros in on a kind of end-of-the-millennium disruption of classifiable sound. With its cross-pollination of hip-hop, cabaret balladry, background textures, and disjointed arrangements, Pre-Millennium Tension takes a peek at the future of pop music and declares it will be nothing like we expect. --Nick Heil

Chronique amazon.fr
Au tournant de l'an 2000, un titre en forme d'avertissement par celui qui représente la force noire du trip-hop. Membre actif de la Wild Bunch, puis électron libre à la périphérie de Massive Attack, Tricky impose, avec ce deuxième album, un univers touffu et couillu, une jungle sonore qui fait se percuter voix soul, beats hip-hop, ambiances trip-hop et les récurrences d'un dub roboratif. Du coup, en faisant imploser le genre de l'intérieur, le mauvais garçon de la scène de Bristol s'impose comme l'une des voix tout à fait singulières dans un univers où de pâles copies fleurissent. --Jacques Denis
