''Maxinquaye'' is the debut studio album of black British record producer and rapper, Music/{{Tricky}}, released in 1995 on 4th & B'way Records.

''Maxinquaye'' (named after his mother) would be noted for its experimental and groove-oriented take on electronic and hip hop music of its time. Taking influence from [[{{Reggae}} dub]] music, it would utilize production techniques such sampling, pitch-shifting and the use of unconventional sounds in its unique style. Lyrically, the album would be doused in drug-induced pessimism and whispered odes to decadence, with the lyrics reflecting themes such as cultural decline, failed sexual intimacy and psychological fatigue.
Upon release it would be a commercial and critical success, placing high on the U.K. charts and being acclaimed for its murky, idiosyncratic sound with many considering it one of the best records of the 1990s and a seminal release in the [[TripHop trip hop]] genre.

* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Alison Goldfrapp does this on "Pumpkin" and Ragga on "You Don't" being the songs primary vocalists instead of Topley-Bird.
* ThrowItIn: The entire record would sample from unconventional sources and even include elements considered unwanted in the mix, such as glitches and pops. One notable instance is "Strugglin'", which samples the sound of a creaking door and a gun loading.
