WHAT'S not to like about this chilled out album?
Laid-back, summery sounds are a hefty feature of this "best of" from the Dover band of brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey and lead singer Syke Edwards, whose sweet voice brings a vulnerable quality to Morcheeba's funky electronic sound.
The band have previously been pigeonholed in the trip-hop category, along the lines of Massive Attack, but don't let this put you off because their music should appeal to a much wider audience.
Tracks range from What New York Couples Fight About, featuring Kurt Wagner, Undress Me Now and Otherwise from Morcheeba's last album Charango, released in 2002, to Never An Easy Way, Moog Island, Tape Loop and Trigger Hippie from their first release in 1997, Who Can You Trust?
There's also the infectious theme tune to reality TV show Shipwrecked, The Sea, from 1998 album Big Calm as well as the upbeat Rome Wasn't Built in a Day and Be Yourself from Fragments of Freedom.
The 18-track album, which also includes two new songs, is mellow enough to listen to on a lazy summer evening but has enough of a kick to it to make you want to tap your feet.
A cool addition to anyone's CD collection.
