About this item
Amazon.com
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
Product description
Morcheeba ~ Big Calm
Review
Always a hippie groove band at heart, Morcheeba have responded impressively to trip-hop's AOR-ization with Big Calm--possibly the most seamless mix of VH1 pop and DJ culture so far, and a joint that recalls the Mamas and the Papas as much as Portishead ... nearly every tune lingers in the memory, from the Delta-flavored sing-along "Part of the Process" to the Brit-reggae swagger of "Friction." -- Spin
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
