Distilling dub basslines, poignant lyrics and hip hop rhythms, Tricky has taken the Bristol-bred sound once known as trip hop beyond it’s club roots, creating his own hybrid of pain, beauty and musical intensity. With Angels With Dirty Faces, Tricky once again takes the listener through uncharted musical territory filled with potent strangeness and dope beats.

The 2LP includes 2 tracks not included on the original CD release: “Peyote Sings” and “Taxi”. Martina Topley-Bird is once again on vocal duties but also featured are English singer-songwriter PJ Harvey (on “Broken Homes”), Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian (on “Carriage for Two”) plus Marc Ribot adds his twisted guitar lines to a number of tracks. Continuing Tricky’s penchant for covering hip-hop tracks ‘Angels…’ features a cover of Slick Rick’s “The Moment I Feared”.
