''Nearly God'' is an album released by Adrian Thaws (Better known by his Tricky alias). It was released as a side-project〔http://www.moon-palace.de/tricky/spin96-2.html Spin review of Pre-Millenium Tension〕〔http://www.moon-palace.de/tricky/raygun96.html Raygun (1996)〕 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."〔(The Face - April 96 )〕 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"''.〔http://www.trickysite.com/biog/ Official Biography〕 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 Madness of King Tricky I - Raygun 96 )〕 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). The final product contains collaborations with Terry Hall (singer of The Specials), Alison Moyet, Cath Coffey, Neneh Cherry, Björk and Martina Topley-Bird. The first track is a cover of "Tattoo", a b-side of popular post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees.〔Boyd, Brian. ("He Be The Prophet" ). ''The Irish Times''. 24 May 1996.
