Morcheeba

I found Morcheeba late in their career and so had the pleasure of digesting all four previous albums all at once. I loved them and so had high expectations for the latest effort. Probably too high really. The principal vocalist on the first four albums, Skye, has left the group and been replaced briefly on their fifth album by a new vocalist and again on this latest work by an eclectic group of singers. All of whom are impressive, but it’s tough not to miss the girl you fell in love with in the first place. Dive Deep is typical Morceeba, in that it is not easily identified with any particular musical style. They are kind of a hip-hop electronic dance kind of a thing.

Anyway, after giving the album a couple of listens I would say it’s decent, it does not hit the heights of some of their past work, but there are some bright spots.

I would suggest you check out any of their first four albums. The fifth (The Antidote) was disappointing . The first four are all good but Fragments of Freedom, and Who Can You Trust stand out from the group slightly.
