All Music Guide Gets It Right!

by David Jeffries A more literal return to form, Blood Like Lemonade builds on the familiar downtempo grooves that filled Morcheeba's 2008 effort Dive Deep, but this time with original vocalist Skye Edwards back in the fray. Right from the opening dusty, minor-keyboard chord, the album is instantly identifiable for fans as stony, late-night grooves combine with melodies that are both pop-minded and soul-spirited. The sweet tricks are Edwards using her velvet voice to make it all sound delicious, along with her ability to be equally effective on the breezy, positive numbers like �I Am the Spring.� Add �Crimson,� which would be the quintessential Morcheeba song if �Rome Wasn't Built in a Day� didn't exist, and Blood Like Lemonade exceeds expectations, coming in a close second behind fan favorite Big Calm.

Summer chilling music

It's true, not the best of morcheeba, but you can enjoy the nice voice of skye. The album is slow and melancholic. Easy to chill, but nothing to dance or smile.

Wonderful new album with skye

Mr.Bluefunk

Listening to this record now for days and I can't stop playing it. Maybe not the best effort Morcheeba ever did, but a more than solid new one. It's so great to hear the voice of skye again in new tunes. My favs so long are the titletrack 'blood like lemonade' (which reminds me a bit of 'blindfold' from a musical perspective), 'recipe for disaster' and the wonderful, intimate 'I Am The Spring" which gets me melting away. Download? A strong recommendation from my side!
