Please note this is an early show, and Morcheeba will be on stage at 8.15pm.

As a certain soft-drinks corporation discovered shortly after altering the recipe on which their empire was built, sometimes you just have to accept that some things are tastier the way they were, and leave it at that. Rejoice, then, in the welcome return to the Morcheeba fold of singer Skye Edwards, whose reunion with Paul and Ross Godfrey on the band's new album Blood Like Lemonade restores the inimitable laidback charm that made them the mainstay of many a chill-out session.

"One thing Morcheeba's always tried to do is make the record we don't already have in our record collection," explains Ross Godfrey, the trio's guitarist and all-round multi-instrumentalist. "I can come home from the pub and spend hours going through thousands of old vinyl records trying to find the one perfect record to fit the moment, and that's always the one we wanted to make ourselves, with that 3am, spliffed-out sound, like a warm, fuzzy blanket of psychedelia."

Blood Like Lemonade is the album they've been searching for all these years, one which takes the essence of earlier classics like Who Can You Trust? and Big Calm, and transports it to exotic new places. At its heart are the band's trademark oozing downtempo trip-hop grooves, embellished with intriguing, idiosyncratic flourishes like the African thumb-piano of 'Even Though', the sitar drone and blues harmonica of 'Mandala', and the freak-folk guitar jangle of 'I Am The Spring', and topped off with Skye's intimately soulful vocals. It's also at once their most introspective album, with songs which illuminate the band's personal situation, and their most outward-looking, as Paul Godfrey's lyrics pursue characters into uncharted territories: the avenging vampire of 'Blood Like Lemonade', the abandoned astronaut of 'Even Though', the homicidal dinner-party host of 'Recipe For Disaster', the Viking explorers of 'Beat Of The Drum'.
   
    It all adds up to the most satisfying album of a career now moving into its 15th year, since Morcheeba first sketched out the blueprint for trip-hop with their debut album Who Can You Trust?
