Tricky "Money Greedy / Broken Homes" Island / Polygram Records CIDX 701/572 296-2 1998 (15:30)

Money Greedy (5:32)
Broken Homes (Hip Hop Mix) (5:54)
360 Degrees (4:04)

Music by Tricky, Martina Topley-bird, Scott Ian and many others.

Overall impression: good. Part 2 of a two part single (don't you just hate those!), the other being "Broken Homes", this one gives you 2 non-album tracks. "Money Greedy" is a typical "Angels With Dirty Faces" midtempo rant and groove. The hip hop mix of "Broken Homes" is just that: the song is stripped down to the basic bass/beat and samples/keyboards ... and this time Martina does the co-vocals with Tricky rather than Polly Jean Harvey (like on the the other single and album version). "360 Degrees" is probably the most bizarre track of the 2 singles and album. It's a slow tempo meandering groove with an array of droning horns throughout. A good single, but if I had to pick just 1, I'd prefer "Broken Homes".
