MORCHEEBA - BIG CALM

Big Calm (released in 1998) is the second album by Morcheeba. Burbling analog synths and gritty slide guitar dominate on 'Part Of The Process,' setting the pace for the wild diversity of sounds to follow. Serene keyboards and buzzing drum samples provide the unique backdrop for the timeless melody of 'Blindfold.' Lush string arrangements and beautiful fingerpicked guitar grace the close harmonies and confessional lyrics of 'Over And Over.' Powerful string orchestration also lifts the ballad 'Fear And Love.' 'Friction' features a deep reggae groove, a horn section and chatting by Spikey T.
