Tricky - 'Hell Is Round The Corner' from Maxinquaye (1995)

If there were to be a shortlist of albums which impacted my life more than any other, Tricky's Maxinquaye would be at the very top of the pyramid. Now that the United States of America has seen the arrival of a (White) Nationalist Party in the form of Trumpism, 'Hell Is Round The Corner''s depiction of Imperial Collapse and the subsequent rise of White Identity movements amidst a polyglot and multicultural society is just as applicable/terrifying in 21st Century America as it was to Pre-Millennial Britain. I don't care about the United States as a Nation-State but I sure as heck care about the power it can wield and the communities and lives which live within it and under its rule.
