This is not a regular Tricky album, but a sampler of mostly unsigned artists released on Tricky's label False Idols. But it also includes a new song by him: "Makes me wonder". Singer is Marta, who also toured with Tricky in the last years. There is also a video starring her (check out the videography for details). The guitar on this track is played by Hakim Hamadouche, who sang on the track 'Hakim' on Mixed Race (2010) and also performed live with him on 26.11.2010 in Marseilles.

Another contribution is a remix by Tricky: Idles - Colossus (Tricky). Plus he produced two of the tracks: ‘The Moth & The Flame’ by Bob Vylan, and  ‘Lucien’ from Young Magic. 'Lucien' was already released in 2016 as a single, watch the video on You Tube (it is slightly different and longer). Also 'Narrative' has Tricky vocals and is produced by him, and 'Ramblin Woman' was edited by Tricky.

The vinyl is limited to 300 copies and can be bought at Bandcamp and other places. It has only 12 tracks, while the digital download also has the tracks 13-16. The vinyl has a download card and you can get the additional 4 tracks, too.

This is the first release by Tricky after his daughter Mazy died. The instrumental "M" is probably about her. Marta is Tricky's latest tour singer, Anika is a Berlin based singer (check out her official website here). You can buy the digital download at Bandcamp and other places. I've added the lyrics for the two songs here. 

In September 2020 this EP was also released as a blue 7", part of a limited Dinked edition of Tricky's album "Fall to pieces" (see below).

This is the first single off of Tricky's upcoming album "Fall To Pieces", which will be released on September 4. You can buy the track on Bandcamp, or listen to it on You Tube or Spotify. There's a video for it, done by Marta Kacprzak, check out the videography for details.

>Tricky: “Fall Please” is around eight, 10 years old, and it didn’t get on the False Idols album because I found it too pop.>
(Spin, 2. September 2020)

This is the second single from "Fall To Pieces". You can buy the digital download at Bandcamp or other places. Unlike the other singles it doesn't have a video.

> Tricky about 'Thinking Of'': "There’s a distorted noise that happens a couple of times in it. It’s got like a screeching sound. That was my brain when my daughter died. <
(Spin, 2. September 2020)

This is the third single off of Tricky's upcoming album "Fall To Pieces". There is also a video (watch it on You Tube), directed by Mateusz Miszczyński. Go to the videography for details. Tricky already worked with Oh Land in 2012, resulting in the song "I'm Not Going" (released in 2016 on "Skilled Mechanics").

> Tricky: "With most of my stuff, there’s nothing else like it around, but with ‘Fall Please’ and ‘I’m In The Doorway’, it’s my version of pop music, the closest I’ve got to making pop." <
(NME, August 2020)

This is Tricky's 14th studio album. Obviously a lot of songs are influenced by his grief for his daughter Mazy, who died in May 2019. But some songs are older like "Fall please" (as he points out in this interview with Spin). Probably also the two songs with Oh Land were recorded in 2012 and never used back then.

There are a lot of different versions available, especially some limited vinyls. The red and clear vinyl are probably limited, but I don't know how much there are. There are also some red vinyls with a signed art print, these are limited to 100. The official website store is offering different bundles with tote bags, T-Shirts and other stuff, check it out here.

The Dinked edition is blue and comes with a blue 7" of the 20,20 EP released before only as a download (see above). It is limited to 800 copies who were sold in independent records stores on pre-order (and sold out probably the same day). You can read about the Dinked edition here. As far as I could find out the Japanese CD doesn't have any bonus tracks.

I've added pictures of most of the releases here.

This EP has three mixes of "I'm in the doorway". You can listen to them on Soundcloud of buy the download at different places. 
The first two mixes are the winners of a competition: people could send Tricky their own version of the song until September 17, 2020. Two were picked and ended up on this EP: The No More Mix features Louise (a singer from Refice, Brasil, as you can read here). All The Way Mix features Mars Blackbird, born as Aristotelis Mavropoulos, a singer/songwriter from St. Mauritius. 

This EP features remixes of some of the tracks from 'Fall To Pieces', you can buy them at different places. Tricky collaborated with Trentemøller again later, which resulted in the release of "No one quite like you" (see collaborations discography). Kahn already remixed a Tricky song in 2017: The Only Way (go here for details).

The live versions on this EP were recorded on 23. November 2020 for KEPX (watch the performance on You Tube, or watch this one with an interview part, see details in the concertography). It also features a new song: 'Breathe Me Right In'.

This is a project by Tricky and other artists, released on his label False Idols. According to discogs there are two different versions of the limited LP, one released in Ireland & UK (with a postcard) and one in Europe (without the postcard). Tricky also directed a shortfilm for this project, you can watch it on You Tube or read more in the movies section.

This is already the third release of Maxinquaye! The original is from 1995, then there was a reissue in 2009, and now there are several releases from 2023 with tracks that were remastered in Abby Road studios. These tweo vinyl versions have the same cover artwork as the original album. There is also 'Maxinquaye Reincarnated' with different artwork and more tracks (see below), allthough this version is also sometimes called Maxinquaye Reincarnated. I don't know what the difference between the black and the oxblood vinyl version are, to be honest!

This is already the third release of Maxinquaye! The original is from 1995, then there was a reissue in 2009, and now there are several released from 2023 with Abbey Road remastered tracks. There is also a version of only the remastered tracks with the original cover (see above) and a digital download version with more tracks (see below).

The CD version has the remastered tracks on CD 1. The second CD has new versions (the "reincarnated" versions, tracks 1-6), live versions (tracks 7-11) and alternative mixes and remixes (tracks 12-16). The Reincarnated versions are very different, sometimes with completely different lyrics (except for Hell Is Round The Corner and Little Aftermath). They were recorded in 2022 and are also much shorter. The BBC Session took place on 29. November 1995 (see concertography here). She Devil is an alternative version of Suffocated Love, Just For The Hate Of It an alternative version of Abbaon Fat Tracks.

The 3 LP version has the same tracks, but without the Leftfield Remix of Brand New You're Retro. The remastered tracks are on sides A to C, the Reincarnated tracks are on side D, the live tracks are on side E and the alternative mixes are ob side F.

The digital download version has even more tracks (see below), also the Leftfield Remix which the vinyl doesn't have.

> Tricky: " 'Aftermath' was the obvious one to start with because that was my first release without any label. So it was like, 'Okay, I'm not going to cover this.' It's 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. It's not a cover, it's a reminder." <

This is the download version of Maxinquaye Reincarnated, all in all 49 tracks. The tracks from part 3 - 5 are exclusive to this download version and not on the CD and vinyl (which you can see above), except for 5.01, which is also on the CD, but not on the vinyl. But the download doesn't have the live tracks from the CD and vinyl version (CD 2, tracks 7-11).

The remixes are mostly b-sides from singles or released on the 2009 version of Maxinquaye (see discography here). Previously unreleased remixes are the following tracks: 4-01, 4-04, 4-06, 4-08, 4-11, 5-01, 5-06. 

There is a mistake in the tracklist: 4-12 is called Dobie's Rub Part 1, but it is in fact Dobie's Rub Part 1 Tricky's Confusion (from the Ponderosa single, see discography here).
