4 1/2 Stars

I hate the rating system here. I'd rather just grade it A, B, C, etc. It makes more sense.



That said this album receives an A-. Compared to it's contemporaries such as Portishead, Tricky, Hooverphonic, and Massive Attack, this album lacks in innovative beats.



HOWEVER, the ultra low key jazzy sound works and all the abstract beats found on others doesnt seem necessary, especially with Skye's impeccable voice and the optimistic but never corny lyrics. To be positive without sounding mundane isn't easy now-a-days and for that alone this album receives an high marks.



Sit back, stare at the skyline before sunset and play this album with a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones...

Excellent chill music

This is the perfect cd to listen to while relaxing with some candles and incense burning. However, it's far from sedate. The sometimes trippy, other times upbeat music, paired with the awesome vocals and lyrics are the perfect fit for a chill evening or background music for many activities...

If you're sick of the radio and talentless pop, this is a great alternative. Music for those who actually listen. Check out the sample tracks, you'll like what you hear.

Trust in Morcheeba

I first discovered Morcheeba through "Big Calm", and after being completely blown away I had to collect their entire catalogue. This was my second Morcheeba album, and my favorite by far. "Trigger Hippie" and "Tape Loop" alone are worth the purchase price, but every track is top-notch. Skye Edwards' vocals slip into your subconscious and instantly melt away the stress of the day. Get yourself a couple bottles of wine, call up some good friends, throw this disc in the player and you're bound to have a good time.
