Tricky - Knowle West Boy

I finally got hold of a copy of this last week, following its belated US release - the Chilean release date sadly yet to be confirmed. "Knowle West Boy" is easily his most accesible album yet and without doubt the best thing he's released since his debut, Maxinquaye, 13 years ago. Sounding far more energetic and less asthmatic than on previous releases, Tricky has managed to craft something almost catchy and I like it. He even rocks out on this one:

Oh yeah, and there's a Kylie cover.
