Music reviews of Parts of the Process (CD & DVD)

Music Review: Morcheeba's Singles
Rating: 4 Stars

Starting out as a trip-hop band that has quickly evolved into a eclectic pop trio, this collection has everything that the casual fan would desire.

Chronology isn't the order of the day with this disc, but it's easy to figure out which song is from which album once you've read the wry "history" of the band. Also of note are comments for each song written by Paul Godfrey, the guy who provides the beats.

The songs range from languid grooves (Never An Easy Way, The Sea) to alt-countrified pop (Part Of The Process), to unashamed Motown knock-offs (Rome Wasn't Built In A Day), to the heavily percussive (Let Me See). Skye Edwards' voice is the star of the show. Sweet, without being saccharine, her singing sounds perfect atop the instrumentation, particularly their earlier sound (Moog Island, Trigger Hippie).

There are two new songs on the disc (What's Your Name ft. Big Daddy Kane, Can't Stand It), the latter being the more memorable of the two. It flies like the pretty pop tune it is.

For the casual fan, this is the best bet.

For the ardent fan, it's not essential.

Also included is a DVD sampler of their November 2002 concert from Brighton, England. A nice inclusion, if not particularly spetacular.
