Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Statues may surprise Moloko fans pulled in by 2000's Things to Make and Do as this is no cheesy attempt to cash in on the Ibizian success of "Sing It Back" and "The Time is Now". With a voice like a latter day Kate Bush, anything sung by vocalist Roisin Murphy is going to come out sounding like the post-Apocalyptic gospel, and producer Mark Brydon's artistically complex arrangements are like hearing a new beautiful language.

The album begins in a dancefloor-friendly vein with the appropriately titled "Familiar Feeling", but "I Want You", the orchestral "Over and Over" and the somber title track are steeped in a newly grown-up melancholy. However, the mischievousness and electro-soul found in the likes of "100%" and "Cannot Contain This" are always there to bring things back to the party again. --Ruby Tuesday

CD Description
'Statues' is the fourth album by the Sheffield-formed club-pop act, Moloko, marrying the vocals of Roisin Murphy and production techniques of Mark Brydon. It follows their previous studio album, 2000's 'Things To Make And Do', which included the smash-hit single, 'The Time Is Now'. Included here isthe single, 'Familiar Feelings'.

5.0 out of 5 stars This! is what we wanted all along!!, 7 Mar 2003

By A Customer

Anyone who has been bouncing along, again and again, to Moloko tunes of the past - probably mainly 'Sing it Back', 'The time is now' and 'Pure pleasure seeker' - and have prayed and wished that Moloko would make a full album of pure genius - the wait is over. 'Statues' is the first album to fully show Moloko's incredible talent - who would have thought they could create an album this - not only funky (we knew that) - but also stunningly beautiful, cool and calm. 'Forever More' challenges any cool Moloko mix ever made - there is no way of listening to this without dancing, the deep thumping bass shoots straight to the core of your bones. The surprises are the massively beautiful and heartbreaking, slower, darker tunes like 'Statues', 'Over and Over' and 'The only ones' - It's almost unreal to hear Roisin's usually playful, hard-funk voice sounding so genuinely heartbroken. This is an album stuffed with superbly crafted songs and top-notch lyrics. If there is any taste out there ( let's face it...it's a rarity) Moloko will make music lovers all over gasp in awe..
Buy this album!
Steal it if you must...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 24 April 2003

By	Steven Moses - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Not a weak song on the whole album (unless you count the rather unecessary remixes of 'Familiar Feeling'). The music is innovative and full of unusual beats and changes of pace while being hugely accessible. Latin beats, electronica, hints of 80s and 70s influences and enormously upbeat and summery. And what a voice! Album of the year so far by a mile.

5.0 out of 5 stars New stars are born, 29 Jan 2004

By	"kevo234" - See all my reviews

As a newcomer to Moloko listening - memories of catchy dance tunes Sing it back, Time is now, but also seeing appearances on Jools Holland - I am stunned by 'Statues'. With a jazz/funk background but a soft spot for funky dance tunes I bought Statues speculatively for Cannot Contain This and Forever More, which are stunning productions but am now bowled over by the originality, class and great production values of the whole disc. The closing epic Over & Over is an extraordinary piece capped by the string arrangements of the long coda. I have never heard such punchy brass arrangements. Roisin Murphy's is a female voice to reckon with. This is great stuff!
