Talk:Morcheeba

Removed speculation

Removed speculation from article, at the very least, this needs a source. Lexor|Talk 13:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC):

Question

question about a part of the article: " Five albums later (2003), Edwards left the band." Is there a source saying she is the one that left? According to her website, she claims it was the brothers that wanted to split-up the band and work on their own projects.--Tresser 13:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

That is now confirmed and referenced. Karst (talk) 10:55, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Missing biographical information

Valid biographical information was removed from this article, seemingly as a result of removing speculation about their new album. It should probably be re-instated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.65.100 (talk) 05:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Separate Discography Page

Would it be okay to make a separate discography page for Morcheeba? To cut down on space, and make it less confusing to read, by giving charts etc.Hayden White--Hayden White (talk) 18:45, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Excellent idea, please proceed. The album descriptions have been tagged for clean-up. Karst (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Extensive revision

Added chart details, mention of the first EP, details on the Godfrey brothers, contribution to David Byrne album and some referencing. Karst (talk) 10:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Added four sub-headings to the biography section of clearly defined periods in the band's history with a view to expand on them.Karst (talk) 09:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Daisy Martey dismissal

The Daisy Martey dismissal led to the a court-case and dismissal. It probably needs to be expanded on here as it is relevant for the album she produced with the Godfrey brothers as Morcheeba. It is mentioned on her page but not elaborated on here, which seems odd. Karst (talk) 09:35, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Specifically, she sued Paul for assault. Google has nothing on the fallout from this. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

@Ashley Pomeroy: When editing the page two years ago I decided to leave that out intentionally when I could not find the sources related to the case. It became a BLP issue and without reliable third-party reports as the link on the Daisey Martey page goes to a dead link from a tabloid newspaper. I suspect it was settled out of court. Karst (talk) 12:25, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Split

From social media it is apparent that Sky and Ross have severed links with Paul. The website is currently offline, which presumable has something to do with the legal issues that are currently being dealt with. As this progresses, it needs reliable third party sources. Until such time, perhaps leave things as it is until a statement of some sort is released. Karst (talk) 15:35, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

It appears that Paul now has a Facebook page, Morcheeba Music, which makes me wonder who now owns the Morcheeba name. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

For what it's worth, Skye and Ross are currently (august 2017) touring and are billed as "Morcheeba Skye and Ross" or just "Morcheeba". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocknrollsuicide (talk • contribs) 19:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

As both Ross and Paul have rights to the name, they can do that. As the interview quote I used in the Departure section showed, Ross has no intention of recording under the name. Also, Paul's Facebook page about his studio still features the Morcheeba name. Until all that has been legally settled, we need to be careful how we use it here IMHO. I looked for interviews with Ross or Paul from 2017, but there appears to be radio silence. Karst (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Unreliable sources

The discogs.com website is used a reference multiple times. It is not a reliable source because it contains user contributed content. See WP:ALBUMAVOID. Gab4gab (talk) 02:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Morcheeba

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Morcheeba's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BPI":

• From Roots Manuva: "Certified Awards" (enter "Bloodhound Gang" into the "Keywords" box, then select "Search"). British Phonographic Industry. Archived from the original on 21 September 2013. Retrieved 21 January 2014.
• From Tricky (musician): "British album certifications – Tricky". British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved 27 February 2020. Select albums in the Format field. Type Tricky in the "Search BPI Awards" field and then press Enter.
• From British Phonographic Industry: Gallup (4 February 1989). "The Top of the Pops Chart" (PDF). Record Mirror: 4. Retrieved 16 July 2010.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:02, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
