Morcheeba are a British based band that mixes influences of rock, trip-hop, R&B, and pop in their music. It was during the mid 90's that the Godfrey brothers (Paul on turntables and multi-instrumentalist Ross) met Skye Edwards (vocals) and formed the band. The band saw great success with their second album Big Calm that hit stores in 1998. It was on the band's third album that things seemed to be changing. Edwards was not featured on many of the tracks with her vocals being replaced by acts such as Kurt Wagner from Lambchop and Slick Rick. The brothers cited musical differences and released her in 2003. A greatest hits album quickly followed to sustain the momentum of the band's energy and in 2005 they released their fifth album. Daisy Martey and Judy Sternberg had very short tenures with the project; Daisy being released during the promotional tour of their album together. It was in 2010 that the brothers announced Edwards was working with them once again. She made her first live appearance (post hiatus) with the band in April 2010. This is a live version of the radio hit "The Sea" from their album Big Calm.
