Big Calm - Morcheeba

This is the second album from Morcheeba and definitely their best, it is an almost perfect aural fantasy, fusing jazz, pop, rock, dance, and classical music into one seamless collection.

The lyrics are amusing and far from deep and the slow flow works beautifully. A top tune. 9/10 Shoulder Holster: Of the four singles (which incidentally are tracks 2-5 of the album) this is definitely the weakest. Driven by a frankly irritating bassline from beginning ...
