Her voice is so captivating. It’s so unique and never heard a voice like that.

Morcheeba go back to their winning formula…

The first blog post is always a special one So it had to be about Morcheeba, which happens to be my all-time favourite band. This British act (the Godfrey brothers; Paul and Ross, and vocalist Skye Edwards) is well known for it’s trip hop beats and psychedelic sounds, but it also draws inspiration from blues, rhythm, rock and pop.

They are mostly known for the hit single ‘Rome Wasn’t Built In a Day’; their most commercial song to date. However, the Morcheeba experience is more than just some catchy song with a brassy arrangement that screams 50s jive, jazz and blues. The key word here is ambiance.

In 2003, the Godfrey brothers dismissed Skye Edwards from the band (citing musical and personal differences), and that my friends, was the most stupid thing they ever did… and their post-skye work sucked a little… Musically the tracks were fine, but the vocals missed the finesse Miss Edwards brings to the table…

And now, after 7 years of absence, Morcheeba go back to their winning formula *ecstatic grin* Skye, Paul and Ross reunited together and have completed their 7th studio album: Blood Like Lemonade.

This is their latest single Even Though… enjoy ^^

I only came across Caravan Palace a few days ago (although then I realised that I already had some of their tracks on other chillout compilations). This French electro-swing ensemble produce quite an alternative sound to the traditional swing. I can’t decide which is my fave song so I’m posting 3 videos below…

You have to sit back while listening to this somehow haunting yet enchanting song “Our Dance”.

They are not a band, but they have worked on different projects together ranging from from electro-pop to trip-hop or folk.
This is one of them.

Four Tet

Still discovering tracks from the new album There Is Love In You, but I’m really liking the electronic sound mixed with some jazz influences. Four Tet is the name used by Kieran Hebden, (from London) for his experimental electronic music-oriented solo efforts.

Listen attentively to this album…
