Morcheeba / Big Calm (US Release) - CD (Used)

Author: Morcheeba

Brand: WACR2

Release Date: 17-03-1998

Details: Review The gauzy production and languorous, soft-focus funk is once again in evidence, but this time the band mixes it up with deep-dish dub grooves, snatches of rap, sumptuous string arrangements, and the kind of canny songcraft that's frequently absent from other trip-hop- pop collectives. -- Entertainment Weekly Amazon.ca Blame Tricky and Portishead. They started this whole Bristol sound thing, with sleepy techno beats overshadowed by the chirrupy vocals of some slumberland chanteuse. And--just when you think the approach has lost all its steam, all its relevance--along comes a new outfit to make the music a few degrees sleepier, the singing a tad more dreamy. And singers don't come any dreamier than Skye Edwards, whose lissome trill infuses every track on this sophomore outing with a tranquil ennui. You don't jump around to Morcheeba numbers like "The Sea." You sit back and let them creep up on you, as steady as the tides. --Tom Lanham
