Go out and buy one then, there aren't many to go round. The first EP is pretty raw sounding pop, not very dancy considering the parties involved.
Most Moloko I've heard has been sort of mediocre
You are either insane, or you haven't been listening as well as I have... ;-)

Oh, I definitely haven't! I've only heard a few tracks, mostly the ones with hip-hop guests (Kweli etc.).

btw Lex was completely OTM about me loving "Forever More"
(revived because "The Time Is Now" popped up on my Last.fm station)

Always had a soft spot for Moloko. I like her voice.
― chap, Friday, 5 December 2008 19:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Thanks Stan - was greatly bummed to miss seeing her in London.

'forever more' is so fucking epic. the piano!! statues is a greatly underrated album.

I like this Murphy.
― Dimension 5ive, Saturday, 6 December 2008 17:21 (fifteen years ago) link
But I think I like her backup singers better...and she needs to do a big shoutout to Stop Making Sense too.

the francois k remix of 'forevermore' is one of my all-time favourites. i don't think i've heard the original.

playing the hits comp again
why was "Dominoid" left off of this, again?

the francois k remix of 'forevermore' is one of my all-time favourites

The one-two punch of "I Want You" and "Over and Over" is incredible - the way the strings on the outro to the former bleed into the latter is a masterclass in pop songwriting

statues >>>>>>> other albums
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
I have a couple of Moloko albums, but I see 'em more as an act that could be strong on individual tracks but not over the course of a full-length.

^ think that’s fair
― Eris (Ross), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
Though things to make and do is wicked
The best of their stuff really is great, though. A compilation of their best tracks would be amazing.

Recently discovered the Salt City Orchestra edit of 'Knee Deepen' which makes me wish I'd listened to All Back To The Mine remix comp properly when it came out. (Almost) needless to say this is nothing like the original version.

Yeah, this. Statues is close to perfect and almost as good as Overpowered. None of the others come close.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 4 April 2018 22:21 (six years ago) link
Statues is certainly my favourite Moloko album and I probably like it more than any of Roisin's solo work too. such an incredible album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UdDdVY-zgASha Sha ft. DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small • Sing It Back
― breastcrawl, Friday, 18 October 2019 06:30 (four years ago) link
“Sing It Back”, repurposed as a gospel workout, lyrics slighly tweaked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxuqpXRNuUMSoweto Central Chorus of the Salvation Army ft. Samthing Soweto • Bring It Back(or here, in footage from the concert itself, starting at 55:12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJxmbsgD-FcDon’t know if this version predates the much more faithful (!) Sha Sha cover or not (it looks like it was recorded last year as well) - Samthing and Sha Sha are only one step removed from each other obviously.
