Happy 30th Anniversary to Sananda Maitreya’s fourth studio album Terence Trent D'Arby's Vibrator, originally released June 1, 1995.

If there is one thing that can be said about Sananda Maitreya (formerly Terence Trent D’Arby), it’s that he has never delivered a by-the numbers album. From the rival challenging debut of Introducing The Hardline According to… (1987) through to the misjudged masterpiece of Neither Fish Nor Flesh (1989) and his sonic experiment of Symphony or Damn (1993), each release kept you interested in what was to come next.

For his fourth musical outing, Maitreya turned everything up to 11. With Vibrator, he produced an album that plays out like a greatest hits collection of songs you’ve never heard. It’s multi-dimensional, building on the soul of his debut and adding in dashes of his more Avant Garde works. It’s eclectic, sure, but not to the point of being disorienting.
