Morcheeba are an English electronic band formed in the mid-1990s with founding members vocalist Skye Edwards and the brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey. They mix influences from trip hop, rock, folk rock and downtempo, and have produced ten regular studio albums since 1995, two of which reached the UK top ten. Edwards left the band in 2003, after which the brothers used a number of singers before she rejoined in 2009. They recruit additional members for their live performances and have toured internationally. In 2014 Paul Godfrey resigned from the band. Edwards and Ross Godfrey later formed Skye & Ross and released a self-titled album in September 2016. Their latest studio album as Morcheeba, Blackest Blue, was released in May 2021 and was preceded by singles "Sounds of Blue", "Oh Oh Yeah" and "The Moon". It features collaborations with Brad Barr from The Barr Brothers, and Duke Garwood, whom Edwards described as "a diamond geezer".

Songs by Morcheeba
Just them four chords though innit. You know the ones. Like bread with nothing on it. Which can be ok if it's really fresh. I'm off to do a mashup with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It won't get any more tasty.
Judging the quality of a song by the number of chords used in it seems like a pretty trivial evaluation. For one thing, the majority of popular songs and beloved classics have only three or four chords.
This song's got a good groove - it seems that was what they were going for.
For what it's worth, this song is not the notorious "four chord" progression that you seem to be hinting at.
Never get tired of listening to it.
I also never get tired of sexy time.
And if one finds that more than a single lifetime is needed to Finish the Job, then one might find themselves permanently separated from their loved ones lost in order to see their revenge through to its end. =/
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive .
6 years down, 44 to go...
Oh boy, I can't wait to show you!
Morcheeba is never bad, rarely mediocre and mostly good!
Wonderful band with a great singer!
So, who is the lead Trip Hop band?
All we want is sunset sex…
but now I'm just confused on why someone would call their song Aqualung if it isn't indeed Aqualung.
like someone titling their tune Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and it not being that... ? ...
it was a good tune ~ didn't mind the tune at all ~ just confused ~ just sayin lol
To be fair, "aqua-lung" is the name of the self-contained, underwater, breathing apparatus which was co-developed by Jacques Cousteau several years before Ian Anderson was even born. I believe a lot of divers still refer to a scuba set-up as an "aqua-lung"; so, it's not exactly the same as using "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (a unique phrase made up by John and/or Julian Lennon) as a title. The lyrics of this song refer to that diving apparatus (as does Tull's tune), though it's very likely that there was some sort of homage and/or joke intended by Morcheeba using that word as the song title.
I'd marry her for that voice alone. It just sinks into my spine and rests there nicely.
