Tricky covers 90's dancehall

Tricky returns with a new album and it's first single, "Murder Weapon".

A cover of a 90's dancehall tune from Jamaican Echo Minott (Check out the original here), it incorporates the same samples, including the Duane Eddy guitar riff from the Peter Gunn Theme that is the basis for the melody.

The track appears to be making it's way onto U.S. shores, since it's UK release back at the end of August.

11/16/10 - Piracy Police at box.net deleted this from my account (!?). Since, in my opinion it's a legal free download from an NPR site and podcast, the above link now goes to the Minnesota Public Radio page. You just have to scroll to find it. Can't fight the powers that be....)
(12/30/10 - Just been informed by a friend that the song is no longer up. Appears that the songs change weekly and are not archived. Sorry....but do go to the website and subscribe to the podcast. This is just a sample of the quality tracks that they are sending.)
