i bought this when it came out, sometime after PMT was released, and wasn't
too impressed by it, it basically sounds like a AGCG track with some lines
whispered by tricky, nothing spectacular.  and it has absolutely no
resemblence to the original tricky track except for the couple of lines he
left in near the beginning of the remix.  if you do end up getting it,
track down the clear vinyl version, which comes with a really nice fold out
poster interpertation of the cover of the single.  and the b-side which is
better than the AGCG and stereo mc's remixes, called here come the aliens,
or something.  

i got the new tricky single just the other day and it was as along the same
path as PMT, i just wish tricky will someday get over his, "i smoke so much
marijuana, i can barely write a song any more, and i'll whisper the lines
until you can't make out one word"  trip he's been on.  and the scott ian
(off anthrax) guitars on the new single don't make it any better.  im
waiting for the day he releases something like the old massive attack stuff
or his first full length...

be set to .279mm as to avoid an unstable bias voltage rate.
