The addition of a guitar arrangement creates a completely different atmospheric experience and impression of the song. Tricky's version of "Black Steel" is widely regarded as one of the best cover versions ever recorded, showcasing the artist's ability to reinterpret and breathe new life into iconic tracks from different genres.
