Charango Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   Music for the soul I heard the song SLOW DOWN on a satellite radio station and fell in love with Morcheeba.
"When you need some time, to fall back in line, just Slow Down" was the line that hooked me.
If you love music that touches your soul, add Morcheeba's CHARANGO to your collection. Submitted by Michael Campbell (Milwaukee, WI, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Smooth Tunes Here's another great album from Morcheeba. They follow their formula - and it's a formula that works. These are great, soulful chill-out tunes. Skye's voice is smooth and sexy and the music goes from bouncy to really mellow. A great album! Submitted by a reviewer (Milford, MA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Excellent album, more than I expected I fell in love with Morcheeba when I heard "Otherwise" on the radio, so I downloaded it, thinking more music like that would be kind of boring. The next week I heard "Women Lose Weight" and I just absolutely adore that song. It has cool lyrics and excellent vocal work by Morcheeba and Slick Rick.
I listened to the album on the sampler here on CD Universe, and it seems they chose the worst parts of each songs to upload...I thought "well it's not very good, but I will buy it anyway".
Do you believe that I bought this album THIS afternoon, almost five years since its original release?? Well, I did it and heard patiently each song..."Slow Down" was excellent...great way to start the album, and keep listening to the music, songs like "Charango" and "Get Along" really kept my attention, and when I hear dthe last song, "The Great London...", which is absolutely instrumental, I ended loving this album, the first time I ever heard it complete. It was pretty cheap, and I don't regret at all that I bought it! Before this album the only Morcheeba songs I knew were "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" and "Be Yourself", but even though neither of those songs are on this record, it's an excellent work. I also read that Skye left the band after this album, that's too bad, but she left us with an extraordinary, relaxing and moving music, all collected on this album.
Great purchase, don't be fooled by the sampler, the complete album is way better than that. Submitted by Carlos (Chile) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Absolutely amazing! I give it all 5 stars! The Godfrey brothers know what they're doing. Skye Edwards is breathtaking. The melodies and beats are 'on point'... perfectly blended. A 'must have' album.

Purchase Charango CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Morcheeba Big Calm CD (1998)
Charango album
$9.99 Morcheeba is a band with all its bases covered. Brothers Ross and Paul Godfrey pull in opposite directions, with Ross handling the more organic range of instrumentation, from guitar to Hammond organ, while Paul takes care of programming and turntable work. Add to that formula the self-ordained "Sound Surgeon" Pete Norris and the cool, ethereal voice of singer Skye Edwards, whose quiet self-assurance provides a meeting ground for the eclectic sonic amalgam that is Morcheeba's BIG CALM.
Burbling analog synths ...
| | Morcheeba Fragments Of Freedom CD (2000)
Charango CD music
$9.25 Morcheeba's newest album seems a willful attempt to drop the band's trip hop tag. FRAGMENTS OF FREEDOM is even more brazenly pop-oriented than its previous effort, BIG CALM. Expanding on that album's eclectic genre mixing and pop music polish, FRAGMENTS places even more emphasis on crafting gorgeous pop songs with an ear toward the idiosyncratic.
Morcheeba combines pop songwriting with an affinity for the upbeat horn arrangements of classic soul labels such as Stax, and a love of soundtracks and twisted synth noises. The track "Rome Wasn't ...
| | Morcheeba Who Can You Trust? CD (1996)
Charango music CDs
$10.39 This U.K. trio injects the aesthetics of trip-hop with a lush, languid, easy-listening air for a concoction that demands a deep, comfortable couch and a top-of-the-line set of headphones. The hypnotic, understated delivery of vocalist Skye Edwards floats over the sweeping synth arrangements, slide guitar, Hammond organ, and subtle technological trickery of brothers Ross and Paul Godfrey. ...
| | Thievery Corporation Mirror Conspiracy CD (2000)
Charango songs
$13.05 Thievery Corporation's second album strengthens the duo's reputation as masters of downtempo, internationally influenced beats. Borrowing from bossa nova, dub reggae, French torch songs, Italian movie soundtracks, and jazz, THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY is a sophisticated, pleasurable listen.
The album is sequenced beautifully, with sexy, world-weary tracks such as "Samba Tranquille" floating into the downtempo torch stylings of "Shadows of Ourselves." The album's international flavor comes ...

| | Kellie Sue Peters Satisfied CD (2008)
Charango music CDs
$8.55 Ask Kellie Peters (Kellie Sue to friends and family) what inspired the collection of songs on Satisfied and you’ll never get the same answer twice. Nor can it be guaranteed that the answers won’t seem to contradict one another.“Once upon a time I fell in love with a vampire and he still haunts me.”“Making love is more like a psychic blood letting… but I don’t necessarily believe in ‘making love’”“I’m not really a victim; I just play one on CD.”Lyrically, musically, and emotionally, Kellie Peters tends towards dark themes. Broken promises, broken lives and broken loves are subjects frequently explored, which is a little hard to reconcile with her upbeat disposition and bubbly personality.But “Poison”, her only sticky sweet bubble gum song (if it can even be called that) has sharp pointed lyrical thorns.“Funny how the smallest little pill can poison you or heal you or make you reel. But swallowing this won’t make me well. It only takes a little poison to kill.”The dichotomy of life — the beauty of the beast- and the frequent irony of unintended consequences are recurring themes that run through all of Peters’ music. “It’s so interesting to me this theory of how a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and it results in a tsunami in Japan 3 days later- how a fragile thing of delicate beauty can eventually morph into this ravenous monster. Or how a little lie can unravel a person’s entire world. There’s a cause and effect to even our smallest actions.”Kellie Peters’ story originates in rural Colorado, where she grew up on her family’s farm and wound up completing degrees in Vocal Performance and Psychology at Colorado College. Along the way there were plenty of (un?)healthy doses of the kinds of experiences that would mold her into the kind of songwriter she would become- a chronicler of dysfunction… a reporter from the fringes of sanity and a sympathizer to the outsiders. Those same experiences would also steel her resolve and strengthen her spirit, good preparation for her move to Los Angeles, where several key alliances would help get the songs on Satisfied produced.The first of these was with John X Voltaitis (Danny Saber, Reeves Gabrels, Bonnie Raitt), who captures “Bleeding” ...
