This is a song that is listed on Spotify as a bonus track for the upcoming album 'False Idols', but it was never released on any album version or as a download anywhere! It was recorded probably in early 2012, as Tricky mentions it in an interview with The Independent in April 2012 as the first single. Vocals are by Francesca Belmonte, if I'm not mistaken.
You can listen to the song on Spotify or on You Tube. It was used as a theme song for the TV series "Good Cop", see the intro video on Vimeo or You Tube. You can read here why they've chosen this particular song.

<The music has a cool, urban and modern feel. The lyrics are poetic, open to different and personal interpretation. But for us, they talked about the pain and pleasure of owning a gun and the terrifying immediacy of killing someone.>
(Rebecca Hodgson, BBC website, 2012)

The second single from False Idols. No b-side or whatsoever. You can buy it at Beatport or Juno other places.

The third single from False Idols. Again no b-side...

This is a one-sided vinyl, limited to 1000 copies. It is a colored vinyl in a simple black cover. When you buy it will you get a personal access code to download the song as mp3 from K7. Click on the pics to see bigger versions, click here to see the back of the vinyl. A strange thing: my 12" has the cat.nr. K7308EP5, but some websites and shops list it as K7308EP4.

This remix was done after the shooting of the video. Tricky explained: "I wanted something moodier to fit the vibe of the video, so we went in with our friend Tony Ra who reworked the track specifically around what we had created visually". The credits at the end of the video list Tony Ra as 2DMP. You can watch the video on Vimeo or on You Tube.  

Tricky offered this download package for free at the official website. The announcement is not online anymore (you can still read it through the Way Back Machine), but I think the download is still working, just follow this link. You have to sign up for the official newsletter and then you will find a download link in your mail inbox. 
When asked why he's giving them away for free: "Just because I can, and it's just for love". Some tracks were already released (Black Coffee on Nearly God, Yukiko on Blowback, the Billie Holiday remix on Verve Remixed. ESP was at that time only released as an Instrumental on the "Spirit Music Group" Promo, but later it ended up as a bonus track for the Adrian Thaws album (see below). Emel is still unreleased so far.

The Deluxe version of the CD has two bonus tracks:
14. ESP (feat. Liz Densmore)      2:53
15. Different People (feat. Francesca Belmonte)      1:55
The Japanese version has two bonus tracks (although only the second is listed):
14. ESP (feat. Liz Densmore)     2:56
15. Sun Down (DJ Milo Remix)     3:13

I have gathered all the necessary infos about the album on the Adrian Thaws mini site.
Besides Francesca Belmonte the album has a lot of different guest singers: Nneka makes a re-appearance, she was on the last album 'False Idols' as well (see above). Tirzah can be heard on two tracks, Blue Daisy on one. Mykki Blanco has a short appearance on 'Lonnie Listen'. 'Right Here' features danish singer Oh Land. Bella Gotti (formerly known as No Lay) raps on two tracks, she already toured live with Tricky in April 2014. One of these tracks is 'Gangster Chronicle', a cover version of The London Posse's track from 1990. This cover version is unusual for Tricky, as he tries to recreate the track as close to the original as possible - while normally his cover versions turn the song into something completely different. But here he copies the sound of the original, also using siren sounds and even using the same vocal sample (I will not name it here, because the artist already sued Massive Attack for using it in Unfinished Sympathy and I don't want anybody to get in trouble. But if you're curious you will find out what I'm talking about with a bit of googling). The original 'Gangster Chronicle' samples also a bassline by Courtney Pine (off of 'Sacrifice' from 1988), I think Tricky didn't sample it but record it. The album has another cover version: 'Silly Games', the original is by Janet Kay (see cover me for details).
The album also contains a skit by A.J. (Alan Johnson) and a short song by Tricky's daughter Mazy Topley-Bird as Silver Tongue (she sounds so much like Martina, amazing!).
Go here to see pics of the vinyl and other release formats.
The bonus track ESP with Liz Densmore was available as a free download in May 2014 (the package was called "Five for you": 54U), but it seems it's not online anymore. You can still read about it here. The Japanese bonus track was played by DJ Milo in a radio show, you can listen to it at Soundcloud (the song starts at 49 min). You can also listen to it on Soundcloud, because Tricky gave this remix (and two others) away for free in April 2015 (see below).

> “Calling it Adrian Thaws is saying you don't really know me", says Tricky.
“I suppose this is my club/hip hop album,” he says. ... "I’m not known for doing club music but this album has some club tracks on it — well, what I would consider club music.” < 
(official website, August 2014)

Tricky offered this download package for free to promote his European tour. You can download the tracks here or listen to them on Soundcloud. The download was announced on Tricky's official website. Ajeya was supposed to support him on this tour, but somehow it didn't work out. On Facebook she wrote: "Further to disagreements between our respective managements, I decided to end my collaboration with Tricky. I send all my good vibes to Knowle west boy. My legendary discretion asks you to believe that; meetings are made whereas others do not have to take place."

For the first time ever Tricky released an official live recording! A flyer with a download link was handed out at the Berlin concert on January 30, see the flyer here. Click here to download the live songs or read the announcement at trickysite.com (you need to sign up for the official newsletter to download the files). The songs were recorded in Gdansk, Poland on 29. October 2014, as you can read in the newsletter: "Before heading off on his current tour, Tricky performed a special gig in Gdansk, Poland. The set was recorded live and 10 of those tracks are now available for you to download for free."

Only 10 songs were shared in this download, while the show was much longer. See the full setlist and some You Tube links in the concertography.

This is a new version with Brazilian vocalist Mallu Magalhaes. Tricky gave it away for free (download it using this link) in advance of a short South American tour in March 2015. You can also listen to it on You Tube.

Tricky gave these three remixes away for free (you can download them here). You can also listen to them on Soundcloud or You Tube. The DJ Milo Remix is also the bonus track on the Japanese version of 'Adrian Thaws' (see above).

Tricky starts a new project called 'Skilled Mechanics': "a loose collective with rotating membership that allows Tricky to work with a variety of different artists, while at the same time pushing his unique vocal talents to the forefront." The main collaborator is DJ Milo (Milo Johnson). The first track is a collaboration with Chinese rapper Ivy. There's also a video for the song, you can watch it on You Tube or Vimeo, I've added it to the videography. You can buy the 7 inch and digital download at the K7 store. Credits for the song are: vocals: Tricky, Ivy, Han Xingzhou, guitar & bhass: Wim Janssens, produced by Tricky & Ivy, written by Tricky & Ivy.
'Necessary' is a collaboration with Milo, features Tricky on vocals and has a sample of Tricky's own song 'Silly Games' right in the middle of the song. The song is written and produced by Tricky & Milo. Check out scans of the vinyl here.

>Tricky about Ivy: “I was in Beijing for a show and I met this guy who managed her. She's so different! So raw! The strange thing is, I've had the track for a while but I only just found out that she’s not rapping in Chinese. I ain’t got a clue what language it is. I have no idea. It might be completely made up but whatever it is, it sounds wicked.” < 
(official press release, October 2015)

This is a download single with no b-side or anything, you can buy it on Amazon and iTunes. It was shared on Soundcloud and You Tube on November 18, but on Soundcloud is says "released 18. January 2016", so maybe a physical release was planned for January, but it never happened. Diving Away is a cover of 'Porpoise Head' by Porno For Pyros, listen to the original on You Tube.

> Tricky about Porno For Pyros: "I toured with them in Australia in 1996. My daughter Mazy, who was about four years of age, was with us and she had frontman Perry Farrell wrapped round her little finger. He took all of us to Sealand in Australia. So there was me and Porno For Pyros all trying to get her pram onto the Australian metro. But how many big artists would do something beautiful like that? I think it speaks volumes about him. So I’ve got a lot of love for Perry Farrell and I’ve always wanted to cover one of his songs." < 
(official press release / Stereogum, November 2015)

Skilled Mechanics is Tricky and his drummer Luke Harris with various guests. On this album DJ Milo is a regular contributor (co-produced five tracks: Hero, Don't Go, How's Your Life, Here My Dear, Necessary), plus various guest singers. Also Luke Harris is singing on three tracks (Diving Away and Bother, both cover versions, also on How's Your Life). Tricky mentioned in several interviews that the track with Oh Land is 6 or 7 years old (recorded in Paris). He was asked to produce her album, but then she was dropped by Sony Records, and so he owns all of that material. (side note: I think it was in 2012, because she posted about recording with Tricky in July on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus, also she was still on Sony Records in 2011). Ivy is on vocals and co-writer of "Beijing To Berlin" and co-writer of "Necessary". Renata Platon (aka XDare) wrote and sang "Unreal", you can listen to it on her Soundcloud profile in a longer version (3:35 instead of 1:49 on the album). She is originally from Moldavia, at least that's what she says on her Facebook profile. Also 'We Begin' exists in a longer version (on Francesca's album "Anima - Deluxe edition", see discography here). "How's Your Life" contains a sample of Larry Carlton's "High Steppin" (go to they ask my origin for details). 

The K7 online shop says that the vinyl version doesn't have Necessary, but it does. The vinyl comes with the CD as a bonus. The cover art is by Nyle Johnston aka Miigizi, check out his artwork on Instagram. Go here to see scans of the cover and more. Go here to the Skilled Mechanics mini site with more details. 

The Japanese version was supposed to come on January 27, but then was postponed to February 10. It has the same CD as the European one, but a jewel case instead of a digipak. It has one (very short) bonus track (available by download code): "Waiting For Hours" (you could listen to it for a while on Soundcloud, but not anymore). This track is otherwise unreleased so far, but was used in Tricky's short film "Sophie Sees" (go to movies don't move me for details), so obviously it's from 2013 or before. You can watch the film on You Tube, the song starts at 8:43 minutes. I don't know who the female singer is, as there are no credits for the song. Strangely the wave-file that you can download has the number 15, although the CD has only 13 tracks! Maybe they originally planned another bonus track?

> Tricky: "There was an ex-C.I.A. agent on this programme speaking about assassins who were sent abroad by the US to start revolutions and topple governments. He called them ‘skilled mechanics.’ I thought that was a great name for someone who was a killer basically. The name was so dark and cynical it just stuck with me."  <
(press release, 2015)

This is a download single of two remixes from the Skilled Mechanics project. You can buy it here. It says about Riddla: "Riddla is a 21 year old producer and mainly known for his energetic and dark grime productions but has a wide style crossing between different genres as he pleases with ease. Predominantly recognizable in the way he controls bass in his sound. Born and raised in Germany, he moved to Nottingham, England at the age of 10 and started producing in May 2011." According to discogs Huxley's real name is Michael Dodman and he is a UK DJ and producer.

This EP is technically collaborations and it only has one track with Tricky on it. Its purpose is more to give other artists a platform. Contributors include:
- Woodju and Syava: russian rappers, whom Tricky met on tour or traveling
- Euanwhosarmy: a new project of 3D (Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack) and Euan Dickinson
- Kiko King & Creativemaze: Berlin musicians, who supported Tricky and Massive Attack on various German tourdates
- Casisdead: UK rapper, 'Does It' is a new version of the song released on 'False Idols' in 2013.

Some of the tracks are quite old, for example "Tin Man" is from 2015, "Wolves" is from 2014 and already released on an EP called Intellect Illuminated.

Originally Tricky played a small role in this movie, but unfortunately his scenes were cut out, although he was in the trailer (at 1:39). Read more about all of that in the movies section. 

But at least he contributed one song to the soundtrack: "Escape". As far as I know it is not in the movie (the album is called "inspired by..."). You can listen and watch the video to "Escape" on You Tube and buy a download at Juno or other places. Or you can buy the whole album on Amazon or iTunes.

This one-track download single came as a surprise, since Tricky talked a lot about a second Skilled Mechanics album. The song was recorded in Moscow late 2016 and sounds a lot like the Maxinquaye era, which is why Tricky called the song "Hell Is Round The Corner Part 2". You can listen or buy the track at different places.

> Tricky: "A few years ago I’d have said I ain’t doing this because it sounds like me. I always had a punk rock attitude: I don’t give a fuck if you like Maxinquaye, I ain’t doing another Maxinquaye. Now I’m a bit more comfortable giving people what they want sometimes." <
(official press release / Consequence of Sound, 8. June 2017)

This song is the first song by Tricky and Martina for a long time!!! You can buy the single on iTunes, Juno or other places. Tricky says in a press release: "I said to Martina ‘it would be great if you were on the album,’ and it happened really naturally, with her sending her vocal in an email. My managers realise it's a big deal and that it would be to listeners, but it’s not to us.” (Dillinger Magazine)

Later also a video was shot, you can watch it on You Tube or go to the videography for details. The song is also released on the album 'Ununiform' (see below).

> Tricky: "There has to be a reason to do an album, not just because people want to hear it (...). After seeing what the vibe was, I can say there would be reason for us to make an album again, it was testing the water really." <
(Northern Transmissions)

This EP features remixes of Tricky's latest released "The only way" and "When we die". It sounds like there will be more releases like this because it's called "Vol. 1", but who knows... You can buy the release at Bandcamp or other places and also listen to the songs on Soundcloud (click on the song titles). Here you can also read comments from the remixers and some background infos.

> Kahn: "In truth it was initially a bit daunting working with someone who’s been such a crucial creative influence, but the whole experience has meant a great deal to me and I hope we can work together again at some point in the future." <
(Crack Magazine, August 2017) 

This is the second single from the upcoming album "Ununiform". It features London singer Mina Rose, who also wrote the lyrics. She will also tour with Tricky on the upcoming tour. You can buy the song here for different players or listen on You Tube.

* The CD has a different version than the vinyl and download version!
** The CD has the Stripped Down Tricky Mix instead of the album version!

This is Tricky's 13th studio album, partly recorded in Moscow, partly in Berlin. The press release calls it "a journey into happiness and contentment." It features some new vocalists (Mina Rose, who will also be on tour with him, some Russian rappers) and some old (Francesca, Martina). "New Stole" is a new version of "Stole", released on Francesca's album 'Anima' from 2015 (go to the collaborations discography to see details). "Doll" is a cover version of "Doll Parts" from Hole.

The CD and LP have a bonus track not mentioned on the cover: the 14th track is "The Only Way (Stripped Down Tricky Mix)", you can listen to it at Juno Records or on Soundcloud (Tricky shared it in July, see above). 

The CD version has two different versions of two songs compared to the vinyl and download (by mistake or not, it's hard to say, because a promo CDR has only one different track, see promo discography):
- track 2 is a different version of "Same As It Ever Was", because it has a Russian rap part instead of a sung chorus and is much shorter. You can compare both version by the audio snipped on Juno Records: CD version with rap part, download version with chorus. I've included both versions in the lyrics, check it out here. Since the CDR also has the rap version, I think it is supposed to be on that. Why the download and vinyl versions are different, I have no idea...
- track 8 is also the Stripped Down Tricky Mix and not the original version of "The Only Way" (so it is included twice on the CD, as track 8 and bonus track 14)! This is not the case on the promo CDR, which makes me believe it's a mistake, also because it doesn't make sense that this version is on the CD twice.

I couldn't find out anywhere if the Japanese version has any bonus track and which versions of track 2 and 8 it has. The LP with red vinyl and gatefold cover is limited to 150 copies and is sold out in official stores.

> Tricky: "This album now is the first album I've made (in years) which isn’t going to pay off some kind of debt. So it's more relaxed!" <
(press release on K7 website, September 2017)

This is a new version of "When We die". It was released digital on October 6 as a single, then became a free download one day later! You can download it at Bandcamp. The track features new vocals by Breanna Barbara instead of Martina's vocals. Breanna also joined Tricky on his US tour in autumn 2017, so probably the song was given for free to promote her. She also appeared with Tricky on KTUX Radio Austin on Octobger 20, see the session here.

This remix EP follows the Mixed By series that started in August with Vol. 1 (see above). You can buy the release at Beatport or listen at Soundcloud, if you click on the song titles above. The release at Beatport has two tracks, while only one is listed at Bandcamp, weird. The DJ Tennis mix was premiered on Dummy Magazine one day before the official release. Juno Records lists the release date as November 17.

You can buy the remix here (only in the US) or here. You can also listen to it on You Tube or Soundcloud. or the Polish Apple Music. I'm not sure this release is official, but it says "official remix" on his Soundcloud website.

This alternative version was shared on Soundcloud on July 6, 2017. Then later it was a bonus track and even a regular track (probably by mistake) on the album "Ununiform" (see above). Then finally it was released as a one-track download single in 2018 with a video (watch it on You Tube). If you want to buy it, go here.
While the "original" version was recorded in Moscow in late 2016 (see above), this version was recorded in Berlin and by 'accident', as Tricky explains: "The mix came about by accident. I was working on something else, playing around on the keyboard, and when I heard the 3 chords I was playing I knew instantly it was a special vibe but it didn’t work with what I was working on at the time.  So rather than finish the track I was trying to do, I carried on with this track and did vox of The Only Way on top  – it was just meant to be.” (withguitars.com)
