The broadcast programme began with a minute long introduction film sequence which I think was footage
from the Naked & Famous documentary. So I've removed that section since that documentary is
available on the Ruff Guide dvd.

Directed by Mark Kidell for Rosetta Stone broadcast by Channel4

This film was originally shown on Channel 4 on the same night as the Naked and Famous biographical 
documentary. This version was recorded when it was reshown around the Xmas/New Year week in
'99, I seem to remember kicking myself regularly in the intervening 2 years for missing 
recording it the first time round. 
I had thought that it would be something easily available to fans, but it doesn't appear so.
So here's me trying to right incomprehensible wrongs.
 It shows Tricky seeming to be possessed for most of it. I was amazed by the intensity since 
it reminded me more of seeing The Swans 10 years earlier. After seeing this for the first time
 I spent several years trying to find audio bootlegs from the same  era and only just 
managed to find anything when I joined Dime last year.
 Since getting into Maxinquaye I've always heard echoes of Krautrock bands like Can in his 
music. Possibly this is thanks to  the instrumentation (basic rock combo, though 
i don't know what I'd be expecting Tricky to convey his music through). I remember reading 
about the time this was recorded that most of his audience was white. Or at least 
that going to a gig of his the ratio of white faces to coloured wasn't exactly as he'd 
wanted. The magazines/papers touting him  at the time seemed to tend to The Wire/Melody Maker(before that died a tabloid death) 
as opposed to overtly black publications.
