		Trickster stories dealing with creation, transformation and connections with supernatural astral powers were classified as "mythological stories." It is for instance characteristic that Glooskap who is only to a small extent a trickster belongs here to mythology, together with such beings as Manabozho and Raven.

	Margaret Atwood - Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth and Art, by Lewis Hyde (Book Review)

		Such figures remind us that it’s Odysseus the trickster who tells a lie good enough to get his men alive out of the monster Cyclops’; cave, and Prometheus the trickster who steals fire from the gods and makes a gift of it to man. Through his daring and wiliness, Trickster too can be a hero.

		I don't own this release, but I do own the Trickster Reprocess, which is available off of their website, which includes remastered versions of all these songs on this album, plus 2 extra songs I believe, Veteran and Red & Violet.
		This CD/DVD release have the same songs from Trickster but is completely digitally remastered in addition to 5 new bonus tracks and has a DVD with unseen footage to come with it.
		From the cynical message in "Taxicab Messiah", to the deranged commentary on "S+M" and even the oddity of "Feathers", Trickster is pure and proud trip-hop expressed with guitars and lyrics that could almost be sprites the way they jump out and come to life within the music.
