Here's a review;
If you've gotten this far, I'm assuming a lot here - that you're already familiar with the BACK TO MINE series. The one where currently hip recording artist take their turn at spinning their favorite downtempo, post club, early in the AM hit influences. Having been a big fan since the get-go, I've the whole family of disc. Where does Morcheeba fit in? Well, to answer that question - they don't. Actually, they kind of redefine the edge. They like the bass as bottom as witnessed by opening cuts "Pony" by Annette Peacock and "On The Rhodes Again" by your's truly - Morcheeba. Dr. John's "Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya" and Jim White's "Still Water" both sound like some down south, delta crying ballads - the essence of which is heart stirring. New Kingdom's "Chill Thrills" is like waking up after a night of reveling took it's personal toll. The price paid? High. Continue this carnival ride on Small World's "Dual Tone". If Morcheeba dispaly any particular trait in their choices, they seem to have a propensity for things seedy - the underbelly per say as apparent on The Giant's "Hidden Crate" and thematic "The Edge" by David McCallum. 70's soul artist Taj Mahal's "Chevrolet" and Plus' "Put Everything Together" setup the urban breaks on "What It Is" by Missin' Link. The journey and lessons are almost complete by the bossa nova "Baby" by Os Mutantes. "Life's Little Tragedy" by Lambchop wrap up on a humorist tone as the train pulls into the station. Did I learn something traveling these railway venues of American soundscape? Perhaps. Is it leftfield in nature? Most defenitely. Recommmend to others? Yes, if you see the open road as a traveler, not a tourist. If you have a procivity for different, I'd say "Carry on friend, you're right at home". If this album has a distictive flavor, it would have to be - soul food. Fried chicken, grits, greens, and gray. Dig in. Finger licking good.
