Description
Trickys groundbreaking and peerless 1995 debut album Maxinquaye is reissued. Maxinquaye (Reincarnated) contains rarities and brand new versions of tracks many of which have not been officially released before. The single LP contains the original album remastered at Abbey Road Studio. The deluxe triple LP set contains six new Reincarnated versions of tracks recorded by Tricky in 2022, previously unreleased BBC session tracks recorded with a full live band in the autumn of 1995 as well Black Steel performed live at Glastonbury that same year and it concludes with some rough monitor mixes. All versions of Maxinquaye (Reincarnated) come with brand new artwork containing a rare image of his late mother, of whom the album is named after. The image was recently discovered by Trickys cousin and is the only one that exists of him and her together. With creative control on the project, Tricky started reworking tracks from the original album in 2022 which have never before been released and allow Maxinquaye (Reincarnated) to be a natural evolution of the original release. If youre an artist or a musician and you look back at your old stuff, he reasons, if you dont think its dated then youre either stood still or youre satisfied with what youve done. I hadnt listened to it for years! And Aftermath was the obvious one [track] to start with because that was my first release without any label. So it was like, Okay, Im not going to cover this. Its almost like I just thought about that song and then Aftermath Reincarnated just how it should have sounded to me now. So I redid it as it should sound now. Its not a cover, its a reminder.
