Customer Reviews

Mellow Trip Jazz
Let's say it like this. Just open up a bottle of red wine in a comfortable evenening with your lady and let the music flow with the mood. Great trip hop album!

A very strong, rootsy trip-hop disc
Who Can You trust is Morcheeba's first major effort and it's a strong one. Standout tracks for me include "Trigger Hippie" and "Tape Loop," which both should be part of any right-thinking trip-hop mix. The first two-thirds of the disc move consistently and well, giving way to a quiet and gloomy atmosphere in the latter part of the album. This disc and Big Calm both make me think of the old early 70's soul albums and of early, early Funkadelic. This Manchester band was a big part of the extraordinary flowering of musical talent out of that city in the nineties. This disc and Big Calm are the two essential CDs to get by this band.

should have been done later
i bought "Big Calm" before this album and was blown away. morcheeba has mastered the trip-pop sound on that album. my expectations for this album were fairly high considering the fact that i heard that it was more straight forward trip-hop. i've listened to this album several times and while it does have strong songwriting, i don't think morcheeba are good enough of a band to go this experimental on their first album. the comparisons musically and structurally on this compared to "Big Calm" are so obvious that in some instances i felt the order of release should have been reversed. there aren't enough singles and catchiness in this one to catch the attention of the listener, especially for a first time out band. i do appreciate the adventurous nature of it, but it just came out a bit to early.
