Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Morcheeba were once the dreamiest bass-heavy, slow funk-oriented group in all of trip-hopdom, as anyone who's spent time with their 1998 sophomore album, Big Calm, will attest. Fragments of Freedom begins interestingly enough, with the languorous, slide guitar-enhanced track "World Looking In." But things go awry from there; the lyrics are so daft and pale, and the R&B-lite arrangements so limp, that the listener keeps waiting for the group to bust out laughing, then introduce the real music. "Let It Go," with its faux-inspirational chorus and tepid keyboard runs, sounds like the Euro-club music they might play at Epcot Center. By the time Biz Markie shows up with a short, sweet track of old-school boasting halfway through, it's far too late to save this CD. Freedom sounds like a misdirected attempt to reach a larger audience; the result is as appealing as cotton candy that's been dipped in maple syrup, covered with vanilla frosting, and then dropped in the sand. Recommended only as a clear example of how not to make interesting dance-pop with wide appeal. --Mike McGonigal
Chronique amazon.fr
Troisième album, ce disque est le plus pop qu'ait sorti Morcheeba. En effet, même si l'on retrouve les éléments électroniques, trip-hop en particulier qui ont fait les succès des albums et singles précédents, plus de place est ici accordée aux mélodies comme dans "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day", ou dans le morceau éponyme (qui donne son nom à l'album). En outre, toujours à la croisée des genres musicaux contemporains, Morcheeba invite ici Biz Markie, rapper aussi efficace que classique dans "In The Hands Of Godz". Plus loin, "Love Sweet Love" et "Good Girl Down" accueillent respectivement Mr Complex et Bahamadia, témoignages de la fraîcheur et de l'ouverture musicale de Morcheeba. --Florent Mazzoleni
