Let's talk about Moloko!

btw Lex was completely OTM about me loving "Forever More"

(revived because "The Time Is Now" popped up on my Last.fm station)

btw, Roisin's complete 2-hour show in Brussels last week is streaming on her site temporarily:

Always had a soft spot for Moloko. I like her voice.

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.

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

this is such a great tune

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

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

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.

― flamenco drop (BradNelson)

Yeah, this. Statues is close to perfect and almost as good as Overpowered. None of the others come close.

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

Updated for 2019:

Sha Sha ft. DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small • Sing It Back

“Sing It Back”, repurposed as a gospel workout, lyrics slighly tweaked.

Soweto 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-Fc

Don’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.
