Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Do You Like My Tight Sweater was released in a year when female vocalist led down-tempo acts were hitting saturation point. There seemed to be literally hundreds of enthusiastic epigones attempting to emulate the work of "trip-hop" artists like Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead and Smith and Mighty. Most of these acts took the same introspective, zeitgeist-capturing route of these seminal Bristol bands--but not producer Mark Brydon (House Arrest, Cloud 9) and singer Roisin Murphy, aka Moloko (a name taken from the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange). Their debut album, cheekily titled Do You Like My Tight Sweater, arrived on the dance scene without fanfare at around this time and presented a radically different take on the down-tempo sound. Boisterous, surreal and humorous, the LP resists the temptation to conjure up yet more disenchanted inner city isolation, seeking instead to paint a brighter--or at least quirkier--picture of modern living. Murphy's elfish, stream-of-consciousness lyrics are delivered here with an infectious slink appeal and are the perfect match for Brydon's slightly bonkers mix of hip-hop beats and funk mixed with groans, creaks, springs and slams. Featuring the cult hits "Fun For Me" and "Night For Day", Do You... also showcases a bunch more bewitching records, from the Os Mutantes sounding "Lotus Eaters", the sultry "Dominoid", the drum & bass kick of "Butterfly 747" and the silly funk of "Killa Bunnies". It's a rare and genuinely entertaining album. --Paul Sullivan Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Do you like it?Funky trippy jazzy electronica. That's about all it takes to sum up Moloko's colorful debut "Do You Like My Tight Sweater?", which never stops with the wild sounds and cool bizarrity. Whether mixing airy organ with drum'n'bass or dipping into acid jazz, there is never a dull moment here. "I dreamt that I was dreaming, I was wired to a clock,/Tickled by the minute hand tick tock tick tock," intones Roisin Murphy in a weird, robotic voice. Behind her is a swirl of piano and funky dancebeats, occasionally straying off into mellow electronic tones. And that's just one song. In the songs that follow, Murphy and her bandmate Mark Brydon alternate bizarre electronica with weird little skits (like "Tight Sweater," which is ...

It really keeps you interested, and you can just put it on and relax to it. Highlights for me are Fun For Me, I Can't Help Myself and Party Weirdo. Rating:  - Could do betterThis album is not the worst in the world by any means. It kicks off with Fun for me,which is the standout track of the album. It then lurches from the bizarre (Killer Bunnies) to the self indulgent (Party Weirdo) At least 6 of the songs could do with trimming as you tend to get a bit bored with them after a while and the skip button becomes appealing. Theres no denying the talent involved,but sometimes it's quality,not quantity that counts! Rating: - This is good but i feel the second half lets the album down!This is a really fun album! I would reccomend it to only real die hard fans though! This was the album I used to introduce myself to the delictible wonders of Moloko and having heard the second album, I prefer it! Rating: - The greatest dance record of all timeI bought this album 4 years ago without having heard any of the tracks. I'm so very glad I did. Inventive, quirky, and brilliant are three words that just dont do this album justice, but they're the closest I can get. Moloko take a little trip-hop, some 80's electronica, a slice of pop, and a healthy chunk of surrealism and blend for 60 minutes. My biggest disapointment with Moloko is how their music has become watered down and commercialised over their subsequent albums. I suspect they wouldn't be so popular now if they had stayed as interesting as they are on this record! I really can't describe how much I love this album. I guess the simplest way is to say I have over 500 records and this is the one I play the most! |
