“The Sea” is a downtempo/trip-hop single from Big Calm, pairing languid breakbeats and shimmering surf-guitar figures with Skye Edwards’ reflective vocal. It became one of Morcheeba’s signature songs and a staple of late-’90s chillout playlists, reinforcing the band’s crossover from trip-hop to widescreen pop.
