Title: A True Classic
Review: Moloko are one of the most original and experimental dance acts out there and this is, no doubt, very evident on this landmark album. Roisin Murphy's voice is breathtaking, full of emotion, and texture which makes her one of pop's and dance music's most interesting personalities. Many of the songs here are difficult at first, but work very well as an entire album. "Things To Make and Do" is definately for more creative listeners, so if pop and pop only is your kind of bag, then this probably won't go over too well with you. "The Time is Now" is the standout track here, which, in my opinion, is one of the best dance records composed in the last decade (Mixmag magazine readers agree). What's even better is that this CD is full of lyrical depth as well, which is a rare thing for dance records, but let's not forget that dance is only part of what is Moloko. The inclusion of club favorite "Sing It Back" is a definite plus. I can't wait 'till the next album.
Is the review positive or negative?
