Fragments of...Awesome music

Advantages: Great dance music, peacy and happy, moral
Disadvantages: Abit too electronic and synthesised. Expensive to buy.

Fragments of Freedom by Morcheba is a brilliant album which you can listen to over and over again.

If you feel like relaxing after a stressful day or if you want calming dance music...this is the album for you. The band manage to keep up the high standard of their other albums and the album in general is almost flawless. Of course there is ...

Cowboys, Indians and funky weirdness

Advantages: Very relaxing, something a bit different
Disadvantages: It ain't to everyone's taste lol

...soon added their second LP, Big Calm to my collection. To my delight, big calm was even better than its predecessor and although quite short, is a refreshing and original album that I think we should take a closer look at… Morcheeba were formed in London around about 1995. Brother's Ross and Paul had been experimenting with their guitar and keyboards to bring about a change in the way of the musical world. Morcheeba incorporates elements of electronica, ...
...embarked on their second release Big Calm and with a slightly bigger budget and more adventurous ideas, they succeeded in making a masterpiece and were rewarded by the album going platinum. -- The sea -- The album opens dreamily with a combination of strings and clean sounding electric guitar.

Review of New World Order - Curtis Mayfield

Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
