Editorial Reviews :
Since bursting onto the charts and into national consciousness with 1998's sophomore album, Big Calm, Morcheeba have carved a niche as purveyors of evocative nuevo-lounge and dreamy ambience. While 2000's Fragments of Freedom saw the South Londoners' first tentative step out of the 'coffee table' pigeonhole, Charango is the sound of them relaxing, infusing influences such as hip-hop, country, and cinematic scores into a joyous blend of humor, romance, and soothing melancholy. Vintage moments like the lush lethargy of 'Slow Down' and the string-laden single 'Otherwise' share space with interesting collaborations. Lambchop frontman Kurt Wagner lends his achingly emotive vocal to 'What New York Couples Fight About,' while Slick Rick's dulcet tones flow through 'Women Lose Weight,' a tongue-in-cheek tale of a husband driven to murder by his overweight wife. Adventurous and inspired yet dripping with Morcheeba's trademark languid rhythms and tranquil melodies, Charango is at the very least a return to form and arguably their best work to date.
Buyer Reviews :
Ever since Morcheeba's first cd, it was clear that they had a knack for combining impressive, sophisticated beats with that 'eye-droopingly' soothing voice and fresh, innovative melodies. I have been listening to them for a few years and I just picked up Charango about a week ago. This is easily their best cd so far. the style is the same as always and easily recognizable as Morcheeba but the skill level used to create these songs is significantly more impressive than their previous releases. They've always been good, but Charango proves that they are getting better. Tracks 2,3, 4, 8, and 11 are my favorites but 8 out of the 12 tracks on the cd are good enough to buy the cd for that track alone. I know I'm a bit biased since I am a fan, but I feel confident that anyone who has any sort of respectable appreciation for music will be very impressed by what Morcheeba has done with this cd. If you have any sort of musical taste, there's no way you will be dissapointed
