MORCHEEBA were the pioneers of downtempo, the architects of trip-hop, the masterminds behind records that have now sold over five million copies. “We invented chillout with songs,” says Ross Godfrey. The sound soon became synonymous with spectacular sunsets and late night comedowns. Eventually, somehow inevitably, it ended up everywhere – soundtracking films and adverts, included on compilation albums, de rigeur at dinner parties and spawning the likes of Air, Zero 7 and Dido.
