I, too, will sing the praises of 'Big Calm.' The entire album, from start to finish, is brilliant. I regularly play it in my classroom and students often ask who it is.
We actually saw them on their Blackest Blue tour last year and they were superb. Skye's son is now their drummer. She was absolutely stunning, so joyful, and Ross was shredding on the guitar.
And, agreed on Massive Attack who are also fantastic. Side note... many believe Banksy is Robert Del Naja.
I wish you and your wife all the best on your upcoming adventures and next chapter of life, Mark.
That Big Calm album really is something else. I was excited to listen to Blackest Blue and disappointed that of lost touch with the band. How cool that you saw them in concert on that tour, sounds wonderful.
Nailed it again. Morcheeba are wonderful - The Sea, of course, and I’ve a soft spot for Parts of the Process because I first noticed them with that track. The whole album is special. I must listen to their more recent stuff.
I don’t know why I’ve not listened to much Massive Attack. Now I read they worked with Elizabeth Fraser. Thank you, there’s my way in.
Another Morcheeba fan here. I’ve been following them since the late 90s and they never disappoint. If you like Big Calm, and are not too familiar with their latest work, I strongly recommend Blood Like Lemonade and Blaze Away (as well as the fantastic Blackest Blue which you’ve mentioned).

Morcheeba are fantastic. Mezzanine is a good place to start with Massive Attack
Love Morcheeba's "The Sea!" Great, great song!
Great song and great album!

I’m not familiar with those two albums, I’ll check them out, thank you!
