Amazon.co.uk Review
Morcheeba served as the template for subsequent "trip-hop" combos, with a line-up that consisted of brothers Ross and Paul Godfrey (both steeped in a musical heritage ranging from Hendrix to roots reggae, from which they cherry-picked at will) and female vocalist Skye Edwards, whose languid vocals melted into the brothers' melange of slide guitars, scratch DJing dub and tablas like cream into coffee. "Who Can You Trust" didn't immediately win over the dance crowd, moving as it did at Mississippi pace through a marijuana haze of sound. The album's standout tracks, however, including "Tape Loop" and "Trigger Hippie", an almost edible concoction of dark funky ingredients, ensured that it became a slow-burning and widely imitated landmark mid-1990s album. --David Stubbs

 Did they peak early? August 30, 2006
A dark debut that is both memorable and stylish. The trip-hop feel sounds dated now but this was an accomplished debut with a rack of strong songs - "Tape Loop", "Trigger Hippie" and "Never An Easy Way" being the strongest examples.
An interesting set of sounds and musical landscape supports Skye Edwards' smooth vocals.

I first heard one of her songs "never an easy way" on the hit show, buffy the vampire slayer in season two "Passions" >>I heard it and got the c.d. I love her voice and I am so glad that I found out about her music.....( I live in america)...so I hardly knew who she was......her music is brilliant.....

Skye's voice is about as soft and smooth as you can get. This album is lovely, with melodies drifting around their slow deep beats and bright guitar sounds. Put your feet up and enjoy... This album even stopped my brother arguing with everyone on a family holiday, which really says something!
Very dark, almost background. February 24, 2003

This album is tricky to review. Its style is almost pure laziness, but the songs are very slickly produced. It is very moody and dark, and the album cover picture perfectly defines the content of the CD (not that it is mostly blank or anything!) The songs seem to blend into each other and create an overall moody 'soundtrack' - it is not so much an album you listen to in a focused, attentive way, more of a background music disc, though this does not do justice to the work put into this album.The mix of Skye's maple-syrup, slinky, low vocals and the urban touches to the backing put in by the two DJ members of the band, along with the laid back drumming and slidey guitar and the seemingly Asian influences make this a truly unique album.
Outstanding piece of work.....blown away by the calmness June 14, 2002

From the 1st bar to the last this is a laid back musical journey which Morcheeba seem to produce time and time again with enough variety to suit all, if this band haven't hooked you with the first track then you must be dead or not a music buff - whatever the taste musically - let Morcheeba's silky, sexy vocals run along hand in hand with the smoothly fascinating back beats, through your head. This IS music at its coolest without doubt - buy this or Fragments of Freedom or Who do you trust and let life wash away. Top Stuff.
