Morcheeba is cool.......2007-01-25

If you like Trip-hop; check out morcheeba. Sky (the singer) has an amazing voice. every song they play sounds different. Look for the album Charango its my favorite one.

"Musically Different".......2005-11-20

Being a huge U2, Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones fan, I was totally amazed when I first heard this band on "HBO IN Demand". Musically different, in many ways. They are an amazingly tight band and Skye is totally awesome. Her vocals accent their very unique sound.I heard she has left the band, which makes this a "must buy". Give them a listen, they are worth it...

Has its flaws...but is still amazing.......2004-04-09

This DVD includes coverage of the band's live performances in Brixton and later in China. Skye's voice is in great form but she mostly sticks too close to the recorded version for me (it's live...add a little unexpected pizzazz with the vocals)....yet she makes up for it by getting the audience super involved! The DVD is interspersed with actual music videos...a couple duplicating what you've just seen performed live in the same DVD. Towards the latter part, the band's tour in China is highlighted, again repeating songs you've just seen performed in Brixton. Puzzling format...but this is staple for all Morcheeba fans. Net? Terrific!
