... The CD ends with “Fragments of Freedom” with a funky mandolin giving the track a true trip-hop feel and small vocal section declaring “when the party is over you’ve got nowhere to go” a fitting end to the album. Overall the album has a more commercial edge ... Read review

bursts of extroversion or a whiff of the
mainstream any more than those stray dismissals of
Morcheeba's oeuvre as "coffeetablist" put you off,
you're in for a treat. Albeit a more in-your-face
variety than that of luscious predecessor Big
Calm, which sold sneaky, word-of-mouth millions
while still seeming like an irresistibly hoarded
secret between you, Paul Edwards' turntables,
brother Ross' sleepy slide guitar and Skye
Edwards' mouth-watering voice. Fortunately,
there's enough pop here for everyone to take a
bite: bright, radio-friendly gospel choruses
("Rome Wasn't Built In A Day"), shameless disco
strings ("Shallow End"), wickedly itchy grooves
and Chic-style struts ("Be Yourself", "Let It
Go"). Melancholics will doubtless prefer the
hazily elegiac title track and hypnotic "World
Looking In", but the album's real highlights
radiate pure exuberance instead. And judging from
the Grandmaster Flash-ised roller-rink glee of
"Love Sweet Love", or Skye and rapper Bahamadia
biggin' up the ladies in "Good Girl Down", rest
assured that if any coffee tables were involved in
the production of this recording, they were
treated with a complete lack of respect.

Sit back and relax maybe have a dance
Review of Fragments Of Freedom - Morcheeba by jason.rowe

Advantages: Angelic Vocals
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

Easy listening the music genre conjures up all kinds of images in ones mind, but mention a band like Morcheeba and that image may start to disintegrate. On the other hand the music they create, although found in the dance racks of any record store, could definitely considered as lounge music. This is their third album that develops their mellow sound into a brighter happier sound, but still showing elements of their trip hop origins. Skye Edwards ...
...angelic voice, and it would be hard to disagree with this argument. A deeply routed lyrical album it is not, but there is still an underlying message to every track. The album opens with “World Looking In”, a track with an underlying western twang, with a catchy chorus, but not as catchy as the second track almost anthem like in its chorus of “Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day,” a feel good track that is perhaps the most poppy ...

Worth a listen
Review of Fragments Of Freedom - Morcheeba by Gingergal

Advantages: Skye's voice is still amazing
Disadvantages: Not much of what make them so unique

...of equal quality to previous tracks. Morcheeba are unquestionably progressing, mixing their talent with new ideas and managing to pull off great songs. If the next album can hit just somewhere between Fragments of Freedom and Big Calm, it may just be the greatest album for any fan to own. ... Read review

Trip hop goes disco
Review of Fragments Of Freedom - Morcheeba by Steenson

Advantages: Skye is still singing
Disadvantages: A little bit too Disco on some tracks

What a difference a few years make, it's still the same Morcheeba, the same smooth vocal form Skye and the 2 boys(?) providing that trip hop originality that first brought the trio to the attention. This time around though there is a disco feel to morethan half of the tracks on the album particularly "love is rare" and a more pop feel than ever before with "Be Yourself". The highlight has to be "love sweet love " which uses a Grandmaster flash(ish) ...
...a fan of Morcheeba you mightn't rate it as high as the first 2 releases but I've no doubt that they will gain lorry load of new fans with the single releases of this album. And they deserve it, not the greatest third album....but there ethos is still spot on. Nice.......... ... Read review

New album, new sound
Review of Fragments Of Freedom - Morcheeba by skilldrick

Advantages: Short film on special edition, positive sound
Disadvantages: Very different from previous albums

Morcheeba... New album, new look, new sound. If you really liked Who can you trust, and didn't like Big Calm as much, then you won't like this. Moving away from their trip-hop roots and towards hip-hop. From the unashamedly disco shallow end (a song proclaiming that if you write shallow songs or "dive into the shallow end you'll only bash your head" says Skye philosophically) to the poppy rome wasn't bulit in a day. One thing's for sure. If you're ... Read review

More funk
Review of Fragments Of Freedom - Morcheeba by TomHolliday

Advantages: Some rockin' beats!
Disadvantages: Experimentation generates bads as well as goods.

...worth buying for its diversity and just to listen to the dreamy voice of Skye Edwards whose vocal talents are more apparent in their first album, Who Can You Trust, but which are still very much a part of the reason why Fragments of Freedom is such a good album. ... Read review
