Tricky — Different When It's Silent

First album under his own name in six years, and the man who invented half of what Bristol sounds like drops it under a blockbuster Friday. Cut between France and home turf on <span class="a">False Idols</span>, his own label, it pulls up unknowns from his own ends — a singer who's basically family, a rapper who now works the prisons — the way he always has. His manager called it the best thing since <span class="a">Maxinquaye</span>. Made in grief, it plays like a man deciding to live.
