Let Me Know is the standout

Movie Star or Let Me Know but what a great album and I wish she was interested in doing stuff like this still

"movie star" would be my #2, probably. goosebump inducing

it is absolutely fabulous and i am sick and tired of people sleeping on it!!
i've always avoided this band bc their name makes them sound like a company that makes pencil erasers but i'll check it out!

i liked the last murphy record but never think to check her other stuff out. maybe it's time

This album is her career peak, imo, including her Moloko years.

For years I would have gone with the title track, but recently I've been drawn to Tell Everybody. The chorus is one of her best vocal performances and I really love those stabs of strings in the second verse. It's very early Eurythmics. Primitive is also a contender. I could pick almost anything here as this album truly is perfect.
Statues is my second favourite Murphy related record. It was ridiculously ignored when it came out.

kitchen, i'm a big fan of that closing vocal on "Tell Everybody" - "I almost remember your face, but it's fading, it's fading fast" and how the vocals are chopped-up on the outro

Statues is my favourite, followed by Hairless Toys

Not surprised YKMB won, but impressed with Primitive's strong showing!
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 11 February 2018 03:32 (six years ago) link
i totally forgot which one I voted for lmao. i think it was "Let Me Know"? but "You Know Me Better" def would've been my second choice.
