Product Description

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest dance record of all time, 10 Mar 2001
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERCALIFRAGELISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS = Moloko, 3 Mar 2001
If ever the word supercalifragelisticexpealidocious had a purpose, then it was to describe this album! I'm rather proud to say I bought this album before they had any hits...and paid only 6 quid as I rescued it from a bargain bin. It is worthy of more than a bargain bin...and should sit at the top of your cd collection in a gold framed case! It sits atop my collection and I have returned to listen to its innovative and damn right funky and fun charms many many times. It IS truly a work of genuis, from the artwork to the lyrics and the immensely varied styles of musical instrumentation and vocal content. It's what all music should be about...PURE FUN! There are 17 trax in all. 5 of these are cuuraaazzzy musical interludes with barmy samples and lyrics! The 12 proper trax transcend originality from -pumped up sexy dance fun (fun 4 me), cranky dance funk(party wierdo), atmospheric chillout techno hiphop stuff (ho humm-where is the what), jungle(butterfly 747..AND hardcore trashy WiERDness (killa bunnies).

BUY IT OR MISS ONE BL**DY GOOD CD. Also wait for the 'whole' of the last track.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could do better, 30 April 2002
By A Customer
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!
