Anyone who isn't into this group is really missing out. They are one of the best bands around that very little people in the US listen too.

Albums: Who Can you Trust, Big Calm and Charango are all absolutely superb. Those 3 are all "pop in the CD and leave it be". Every single song is great, I kid you not.

Do yourself a favor and give this group a listen. They are the best electronica has too offer!

 

morcheeba are awesome.

 

Love it. As electronic on the scale that Brand New Heavies are old school, but both are a bit funky, and a lot of fun. Don't really fit into trip hop but dammit that's where I have them filed in my directory.

 

i'd call em trip hop. each album is a bit different tho. definitely groovy. somewhat ambient.

 

I think eventually they'll get a bit more popular in the US. Their music may not be mainstream radio - but they have so many good songs - I expect they'll get more popular very soon.

They are certainly more accessable than some other Trip-Hoppers like Massive Attack, Tricky and Theviery Corp.

I would add two other albums that are superb that someone might want to try...
1) Soulstice - Illusion - more pop/electronic mix but really good

2) Soma Sonic - Future - great grooves. Really, really cool CD

 

Haven't heard those two CDs. may check them out soon.

>>They are certainly more accessable than some other Trip-Hoppers like Massive Attack, Tricky and Theviery Corp.

Agree. It's kinda hard for me to get into those three at times, and I tend toward the technical/progressive side of the music.
Still dig Portishead more, though.

 

i just now found my big calm cd. heheheh...yup...this was a nice gift.
