Music : Do You Like My Tight Sweater
1 2
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 just Murphy asking if we like... well, you get it). Sonic burps, metallic drumming, sampled voices, a mooing noise, sparking rhythms and strange chanting all are splattered over the songs, a sonic Jackson Pollock painting.
The electronic beats sound wild and a bit random, but further exploration shows that they are extremely deliberate: for example, Roisin Murphy gets to channel Beth Gibbons in the funky-jazzy "Dominoid," and the eerie, airy vocals and organ of "Butterfly 747" slowly ooze into a tribal drumbeat.
Murphy sings in a sweet, clear voice, which makes the oddball songs sound even weirder. "I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr Spock/Sugar was a flowing sock it to 'em sock/I dreamt I saw a moo cow jump across the moon/Just a flight of fantasy zoom zoom zoom." But she can turn that voice into a spiky mace in songs like the claustrophobic "Killa Bunnies."
Despite the odd slow moment, Moloko never once slows down. Even the jazzy moments are kept unpredictable. But it's not the sort of thing you can immediately dance to, because the beats are all clouded in the deliciously weird sound effects and musical tweaks. Besides, who would want to dance if you can listen instead?
Moloko's debut was a surprisingly solid, whimsical one. Full of trippy-dancey-funky-jazzy-electro-pop, "Do You Like My Tight Sweater" is one to keep and listen to.

- Still listening to it
I put this CD on yesterday and listened to it from start to finish.
This Moloko album interesting and experimental. 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.

- Could do better
This 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 time
I 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!
