Product Description

CD Description
Morcheeba is a band with all its bases covered. Brothers Ross and Paul Godfrey pull in opposite directions, with Ross handling the more organic range of instrumentation, from guitar to Hammond organ, while Paul takes care of programming and turntable work. Add to that formula the self-ordained "Sound Surgeon" Pete Norris and the cool, ethereal voice of singer Skye Edwards, whose quiet self-assurance provides a meeting ground for the eclectic sonic amalgam that is Morcheeba'sBIG CALM.
Burbling analogue synths and gritty slide guitar dominate on "Part Of The Process", setting the pace for the wild diversity of sounds to follow. Serene keyboards and buzzing drum samples provide the unique backdrop for the timeless melody of "Blindfold". Lush string arrangements and beautiful fingerpicked guitar grace the close harmonies and confessional lyrics of "Over And Over". Powerful string orchestration also lifts the ballad "Fear And Love". "Friction" features a deep reggae groove, a horn section and chatting by Spikey T.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best soul.groove/funk/mellow album around, 5 Nov 1999
By A Customer
the best morcheeba album of all...well of all both of them. the opening is a little disappointing, but by Shoulder Holster, they proove again why we fell for them in the first place. the rap(ish) songs are a little tedious after a while, with possibly the exception of Big Calm, which is really starting to grow on me. my favourite is fear and love, which i wish would go on forever. best listened to in a darkish room, post-club, with a bottle of jack daniels, 5 friends and a big comfy sofa. or on your own in a room. whatever

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, cool collection of tracks with big calm, 4 Nov 1999
By James Pollock (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The title says it all. The album is truly calm, beginning with tracks like "The Sea" bringing images of escaping the city to lose your soul down by the sea, and ending with "Big Calm", with a fabulous tune but crazy lyrics. This is one to play loud and late, or on the tube to take you away from it all, and down to the beach. Best album I've bought in 6 months.
