tricky - 'valentine'

The new album is a quiet little masterpiece. There's no floorkillers but each adds to something so much greater than its parts. I've still not forgotten that appalling Maxinquaye gig last year and I'll probably skip any opportunities to see him live ever again but his studio albums remain as solid and as reliable as ever. The 'False Idols' album (how apt) has a very impressive supporting cast too: Chet Baker, Nneka, Antlers. It's an instant hit if you like the brooding, moody Tricky stufff.
