Given Finley Quaye's roots as a dub and jungle DJ, it seems relevant to point out that he's the half-brother of Maxine Quaye, the woman better known as Tricky's mom. But don1t go searching for any pre-millennium tension here. At its core, Maverick A Strike is a record you'd play at a party, "It1s Great When We're Together" and "Ultra Stimulation" being the songs you'd cue up when you feared everyone was going to call it a night. Recorded in the lo-fi tradition of '70s Jamaican pop, Maverick's music hardly fits snugly alongside that of other junglists. And by getting more than he probably should out of a hoarse voice and limited range, Quaye even makes a case for the modern relevance of roots-reggae. Not bad for a rude-boy who perfected his chops in the British dance scene.



This is the debut album from Trickys nephew Finlay Quaye and includes the excellent singles Sunday Shining, Even After All and Your Love Gets Sweeter. The album is a mix of reggae styles and indie, mixed with a little brit pop, spiced with bass lines here and there.



It actually doesn't work at all for 30-50% of the album and so you will find yourself skipping tracks. But for the areas where it does work it works extremely well, and you can't help but like it.
