Who Can You Trust - Morcheeba

Morcheeba’s debut album is heavily influenced by the Bristol scene, in fact they sound remarkably like Potishead. Thankfully though they don’t sound like a cheap imitation more like a band that have revised the original formula, here they sound less oppressive and depressing than Portishead will ever sound. Although the general feel is that of ‘Trip Hop’ it is with slightly more upbeat drum loops and bass lines that give a fresh feel to this highly accomplished record. Songs such as “Moog island”, Trigger hippie”, and “Tape loop” standout as definite highlights here. Filled with Skye Edward’s beautiful voice and the ...

Big Calm - Morcheeba

This was Morcheeba's second album and I bought it after hearing one or two singles from it. As the title suggests it's a mellow, chilled out kind of album.
