Big Calm by Morcheeba
Big Calm is an album by Morcheeba, released in 1998. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Part of the Process”, on 4 lists with a best position of #54.
Big Calm, Morcheeba's second album, drifted out in March 1998 on Indochina and Sire, and the title is truth in advertising. Brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey build the beds, all laid-back beats and warm, woozy textures that borrow from trip hop, folk rock and downtempo, and Skye Edwards floats over the top in a voice so smooth it could talk a hurricane down.
"Part of the Process" was the single, sneaking into the UK top 40 that August while the album climbed into the top 20. Special editions added "The Music That We Hear", a makeover of "Moog Island" from their debut, Who Can You Trust?, and even the sleeve is a knowing nod to the past, modeled on the 1966 Ray Conniff compilation Hi Fi Companion. Fragments of Freedom came next.
