"London-based Morcheeba once passed as a Thievery Corporation with actual songs, or a less jazzy Olive, or like Massive Attack without the paranoia and the politics. But whether it's called downbeat, trip-hop, electro-pop, or neo-soul, it's the human presence amongst all the gear that distinguishes them. Fundamentally they are musicians, and their chops playing real instruments have enabled them to roll up any genre they like into their pop smoke".
