MORCHEEBA Big Calm (1998 UK 12-track CD where burbling analogue synths and gritty slide guitar dominate on Part Of The Process setting the pace for the wild diversity of sounds to follow picture sleeve)
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 and the singing a tad more dreamy. And singers don’t come any dreamier than Skye Edwards, whose lissom 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
