专辑介绍

by David Jeffries

Longtime Morcheeba fans that found their sunshine bright album

The Antidote

a complete disappointment couldn't ask for a better follow-up than Dive Deep. Making that other unloved effort seem like a mislabeled side project, Dive Deep finds multi-instrumentalists the Godfrey brothers returning to the murky, moody kind of downtempo and trip-hop of their early days, just without original vocalist

Skye Edwards

, or for that matter,

Antidote

's vocalist

Daisy Martey

. Instead, they go about it

Zero 7

style, utilizing a series of guest vocalists including smooth rapper

Cool Calm Pete

, alternative singer/songwriter

Thomas Dybdahl

, and most surprisingly, pop/rock veteran

Judie Tzuke

, who brings a welcome, folk-tinged sound that serves to connect the dots here between soft rock and

Portishead

.

Tzuke

's &Enjoy the Ride& and &Blue Chair& are the mellow highlights to curl up with, while

Dybdahl

's trilogy of songs -- &Riverbed,& &Sleep on It Tonight,& and &Washed Away& -- finds his poetic musings on all things melancholy perfectly packaged in Morcheeba's lazy sway. Special mention goes to newcomer

Bradley Burgess

who delivers &Run Honey Run& with all the hippie grace this

John Martyn

cover deserves. If

Burt Bacharach

and the bedazzling side of '60s rock influenced

The Antidote

,

Martyn

,

Bert Jansch

, and

Fred Neil

are the more earthy and literate artists brought to mind by Dive Deep. The change does the Godfrey brother's music good, bringing it more in line with the Morcheeba name and the masterful good songs/good vibes combination that made their first two full-lengths so haunting.
