POPULARITY
During our live interview with Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba, I found myself at one stage scrolling through my notes to find a description of the band's sound I'd queried using Chat GPT. I couldn't find it at the time but here is what it said:“Morcheeba's signature rich, mellow music became the soundtrack of the suburban homes and chillout rooms of the late 90s and early 00s”.That's a composite of much that has been written about the band over some 30 years, and it doesn't really flatter does it? “The devil's own lounge band” is the quip that Skye Edwards recalled from an early review. The music press loves to characterise bands, but in Morcheeba's case, it comes across somewhat dumbed down. Contained within Morcheeba's mellow sounds are multiple layers of influence that reveal hidden depths with every listen. The interview with the band for this launch episode for The Art of Longevity (Season 12!) manages to scratch just beneath the surface at least. That said, Morcheeba know their place in making music that can be the perfect backdrop, to quote Ross Godfrey:“We've always made relaxing music. You can get home from work on a Friday night, have a glass of wine or smoke a spliff or whatever and play our music”. On the other hand, the sheer depth of their musical influences and references can be breathtaking. Within the mix are Bacharach, Barry and Moriconi of course, but also Brazilian late 60s Tropicalia, and somewhat less obviously (but most certainly in terms of always impressive guitar work) classic rock from Ross Godfrey's childhood favourites Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix. Meanwhile, Skye's lyrics and styles include 70s country music, along with ska and dub reggae. All of this is somehow weaved into the seamless Morcheeba sound on the new outstanding album Escape The Chaos. Launched in the mid-90s and quickly swept along on the British ‘trip-hop' wave, Morcheeba outlasted most of their contemporaries including Portishead (who refused to heed to the repeated calls to re-form). Morcheeba is one of those bands you might easily have forgotten about. And yet the band has (give or take a short hiatus and shuffling of personnel sometime between 2003 and 2009) steadily worked their way to 11 albums over 30 years, most of it under the radar of music industry gatekeepers and without much love from the music press. “They hated us” was Skye Edward's response when I brought up the subject of early press reviews. And yet, Pitchfork gave their debut album Who Can You Trust (1996) an 8.3/10, but then stopped loving them as the band's popularity took off. Recent single We Live & Die references “in the old days of NME” which had me going on to Wayback Machine to dig out an NME review from 1998 of the breakthrough album Big Calm. It was the now legendary music critic Syvia Patterson, who wrote:“Morcheeba you see, sounds nothing like Portishead. They sound like they like life”.That has certainly proved a lasting observation. And Morcheeba has proved a lasting British trip hop institution. One of the few 90s bands that just seem to keep on getting better and better. This live episode launches a new partnership between The Art of Longevity and Bang & Olufsen.

Small Moments, Big Calm Episode Description: In today's episode, I talk about the quiet power of small moments—the ones we often overlook. A slow sip of coffee. A breath before a meeting. A glance out the window. These tiny pauses may not seem like much, but they can become anchors of calm throughout your day. You don't need a retreat or a silent room to feel peaceful. You just need to notice the stillness that's already there—waiting in the spaces between. Key Takeaway: Lasting calm isn't built in hours—it's built in moments. Catch the small ones, and peace becomes part of your day. Quote to Reflect On: “The present moment is filled with joy and peace. If you are attentive, you will see it.” — Thich Nhat Hanh Thanks for Listening!

Entre deux volutes de Fumée, les bien-nommés Morcheeba ont fait leur apparition au milieu des années 90. Leur premier album Who Can You Trust, agrandit alors les rangs de la famille Trip Hop et la formation impose sa douceur contemplative, son Big Calm. En 25 ans de carrière, Morcheeba a connu des départs puis des retours, des hauts et des bas. Blackest Blue, leur 10ème album, réalisé pendant les années de confinement, renoue avec l'atmosphère des débuts. Un souffle nouveau, mais ancré qu'il nous présente sur scène en France ce mois-ci, l'occasion d'explorer les fondements musicaux de deux de ses membres fondateurs, Skye Edwards et Ross Godfrey.

It's me! This week; Stephen Fretwell is my first guest. Stephen is back after disappearing from the music world for over 10 years. He's released 3 new songs so far this year, and they're very beautiful. I was curious to talk find out what it's like to walk away from professional creativity and then find your way back. Stephen had a lot to say on the subject… My other guest is multi-instrumentalist and one-half of Morcheeba, Ross Godfrey. Morcheeba are back with a new album “Blackest Blue” and I spoke to Ross from his London home about the making of it, as well as having a broader conversation about the nature of genre. stephenfretwell.com@StephenFretwell morcheeba.uk@MorcheebaBand Twitter: @signalspodcastInstagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

Buy, sell, or hold? When stock markets take a tumble, it's decision time. Investors got a shock this week, when the prolonged period without a stock market correction – dubbed the Big Calm – came to an abrupt end. Many were not surprised by the fact that shares fell, after all warnings that a correction must arrive have not been in short supply. But what did catch them off guard was quite how hard they fell and that the only catalyst was the threat of slightly higher interest rates. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones dived 4.6 per cent on Monday, and then after a brief bit of mid-week respite, it tumbled another 4.2 per cent on Thursday. In the UK, shares also fell but not by as much, although some with more high-octane portfolios will be nursing bigger losses. So, is this just a healthy correction, or is it the start of something bigger? On this week’s podcast, Simon Lambert, Alex Sebastian and Georgie Frost look at why shares fell, what investors should do when markets correct, and whether there is any way to dodge a crash. Tying into that stock market storm was the Bank of England’s indication that although it was holding rates this month, they would now rise faster and sooner than expected. We look at when that next rate rise is likely, and why the Bank has changed its tune. There's also a warning on debt from former Bank boss Mervyn King. Also on this week’s show, we discuss the young people falling victim to temptation to launder cash as money mules and the petrol delivery service that comes to you.

This week Ben and I are joined by Front End (or is that Front-End) developer Clive Walker to talk about Perch CMS. We have a lot of positive things to say about it, it's powerful and flexible, but easy to use. We also talk about Perch's many free add-ons, including the recently added Perch Shop e-commerce platform. Just so you know, we're not being sponsored by Perch, we just really like it. It's become my CMS of choice, and I reckon it's well worth trying out. Clive also tells us about the Perchology newsletter, which contains all sorts of goodies for Perch developers, and the Horsham Co-Working project. Clive's Toolstar is Curated, an app for putting together a digest newsletter, which Clive uses to create the Perchology newsletter. My Jukebox choice this time is a solid gold classic, Teardrop by Massive Attack. Clive's pick is Big Calm, the whole album, by Morcheeba (we'll pick a track for the playlist). Ben didn't have a track this week, Bad Ben! Clive and my tracks will be added to the Relative Paths Alt Playlist.
