About This Track
In 1991, before the release of Massive Attack’s album Blue Lines, Tricky met the then 15-year-old Martina Topley-Bird. (Aftermath Songfacts). Some time later she came to his house, and mentioned to Tricky and Mark Stewart that she could sing. Martina was only fifteen years old, but her ‘honey-coated vox’ impressed them and they recorded the song “Aftermath” (though The Face ‘95 mentions that the first song they recorded together was called “Shoebox”).
Tricky showed “Aftermath” to Massive Attack, but they weren’t interested. So in 1993 he decided to press a few hundred vinyl copies of the song. He cut it directly off of the tape, so that the song is basically “just bassline and hiss”. (NME ‘94). Finally, a white label got him a contract with Island Records and he started to record his first solo album, Maxinquaye.
