Tricky

№ 4 on Trip-Hop · 2 albums in the canon, 1 on the genre lists

He left Massive Attack and made paranoia into an aesthetic, whispering rather than singing and pushing Martina Topley-Bird's voice to the front of records that were built for tension rather than polish. Maxinquaye is trip-hop's darkest and most original hour. Pre-Millennium Tension is harder still, and he has never made the same record twice.
