Morcheeba

Though they resisted the trendy "trip-hop" label, Morcheeba were instrumental in popularising the dreamy, soulful, down-tempo style that characterised electronica in the mid-1990s. Morcheeba's mainstays, the Godfrey brothers, first established themselves as producers, then formed their own electronic music act and recruited vocalist Skye Edwards to provide the key sensual, earthy element to their sound. The group has remained consistently productive since their '96 debut, challenging listeners with an eclectic mix of ethnic sounds, infectious pop melodies, and that ever-seductive groove. Following Edwards' departure and that of her successor Daisey Martey, the duo's 2008 album DIVE DEEP featured the duo recording with guest vocalists.
