I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this recording in the three years since it was released because it's a great CD. It culls 14 tracks from their first four releases: 2 tracks from Who Can You Trust?, 6 tracks from Big Calm, 4 tracks from Fragments of Freedom, and 2 tracks from Charango. Most people would agree, with some argument of course, that these are some of the best tracks from Morcheeba's first 3 albums and a couple of good ones from Charango. (I would have chucked "Well Deserved Break" from Fragments Of Freedom, in favor of something else from either Charango or Who Can You Trust.) If you can afford just one Morcheeba CD, then this is the one to buy. About 60 minutes of delicious music.

Morcheeba is absolutely phenomenal, her voice is soothing and her lyrics are clever.
The musical arrangements are of an Acid, R&B and Reggae feel that puts you in various melodic moods. I recommend Morcheba to anyone who enjoys relaxation. If you want to experience her, then this collection is the one to get.

Was never a a fan of this group. Heard a couple of tunes while visiting Quebec and totally enjoyed them. Not knowing much about their music except for the piped music in Quebec, I really had no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised.
