Nearly God

Nearly God is an album released by Adrian Thaws (Better known by his Tricky alias). It was released as a side-project under the name Nearly God (rather than Tricky), on 29 April 1996.

Album name, recording history, collaborators

The album's title comes from an interview where Tricky was asked "So how does it feel to be God... well, nearly God."

It was recorded in three weeks during the summer, in New York and London, and Tricky himself describes it as "a collection of brilliant, incomplete demos". It was mixed in London by Ian Caple & Tricky.

Originally, Nearly God also included a song with Blur frontman Damon Albarn, but it was removed at the last minute, with Tricky expressing displeasure at Albarn's working methods, saying: "He wants to work on something for like two months and then do the vocals again and again and again, and I don't work like that." The song was later recorded again with former Madness singer Suggs, but this version ("I'll pass right through you") was not released either. Four of ten rumoured songs with Neneh Cherry were released on her singles "Woman", "Kootchi" and "Feel it" in 1996 and 1997. Tricky also recorded another song with Cath Coffey, a cover of the Grease song "Summer Nights" which was released in 1997 on her first album Mind the Gap (released only in Japan so far).

God is perfectly good, whereas humans are evil ... Four centuries later, Jesus also experiences the dark side of God ... And it totally transforms his depressing view of dark, earthly life and his terrible God, just like persons who undergo a powerful, life-transforming glimpse of heavenly afterlife in a Near Death Experience.
