Customer Reviews:

This is matter!.......2006-01-27

I'll keeep it short. If for no other reason (even though there are plenty, believe me) buy this cd for "It's Nothing" (stunning, haunting, you will be floored!) and "Being is Bewildering" (I'll let it speak for itself). What kind of music do Moloko make? Mark Brydon was once forced into saying it's "a kind of amalgamation of punk and disco". If you ask me, I'll say they make music for people with hearts, minds, and souls.

A really cracking album........2005-03-11

The most interesting and arresting thing about this band is their quirky creativeness. The songs here are an odd and ambient collection (forever the soundtrack to a marevellous Greek holiday for me now!) Each track has it's own distinct style and personality and yet each is catchy, infectiously melodic and lyricaly, just the right side of sane.
Murphy's voice is full of range and surprise, it can be harmonious and completely shock at once.
Really great and different stuff, a delightful break from the mainstream, I defy you to find any bands doing similair stuff!
Highlight tracks are the beaty and heady, "Bring it Back" and the deliciously insightful "Absent Minded Freinds", a wry look at modern relationships.

Making and doing.......2004-11-17

UK dancepop duo Moloko are in fine form in "Things to Make And Do," their third blend of acid jazz and trippy electronica. The talented Roisin Murphy and Mark Brydon create a charmingly erratic dance album that sounds like nothing else, yet never fails to draw you in.

It opens with a peculiar piano solo, before kicking into the sexy sax-keyboard of "Pure Pleasure Seeker," and the ominously trippy "Absent Minded Friends." A darker note enters with songs like "Being Is Bewildering," which is technically a more "normal" song, a slow and rather melancholy song based on acoustic guitar and organ. Same with the lower-key pop song "The Time is Now."

There are also some more experimental songs, such as the nonsensical funk of "Indigo" or the creepy psycho-vocals of "If You Have A Cross To Bear You May As Well Use It As A Crutch." "Remain the Same" is perhaps the most experimental, with the vocal sampling and sound of the organ being overwhelmed and sunk by the electronic bleeps.

In this release, Moloko downplays the outright weirdness in favor of a more subtle sound. Call it experimental ultraquirk acid-jazz-funk-house-trip-hop. That more or less describes it. It's not just a fun album, but a richly engaging one with some deceptively simple-sounding songwriting.

Roisin (no, it doesn't rhyme with "raisin") Murphy has an excellent voice for this type of music -- it sounds clear and flexible, while being strong enough to rise over powerful music that could have overwhelmed her. And she brings depth to certain songs like "Mother," where she lashes out at her mother in a restrained manner: "I know somehow somewhere I'll be bumping into you/you see I'm blameless/I had a mother who was shameless/no wonder my life collapsed!" Elsewhere the songwriting is just deliciously bizarre.

Mark Brydon takes charge of the musical backdrop for Roisin's voice. And a fine job he does too, blending organic instrumentation like piano, acoustic guitar and rippling strings with some vocal sampling and deliciously wacked-out beats, sounding like anything from a DJ on acid to the funkier twin of Portishead.

Erratic it may be, but "Things to Make And Do" is also fun, wild and extremely eclectic, switching styles the way most musicians do instruments. It may not be their best album, but it is a wonderfully engaging, trippy one.

ACTUALLY 4 1/2 STARS!!!.......2004-07-10

I gotta admit that this isn't my favorite Moloko album, in fact in comparison to the remarkable "Do You Like My Tight Sweater" and the equally impressive "I Am Not A Doctor", it's somewhat lackluster. However, Roisin Murphy's vocals are more refined and the song-writing more heartfelt. There are some pretty impressive tracks here though such as the steady-groovin' "Pure Pleasure Seeker", the Timbaland-esque "Absent Minded Friends", the disco-infectious "The Time is Now" and the real-as-it-gets "Mother". Other songs kinda make you want to hit the skip button, but of course this is my opinion. Lyrically, Moloko has developed tremendously--Musically, their sound this go round is too poppish and mainstream. Nevertheless, if you're a Moloko fan you'll dig this!

Don`t Know What to Make & Do With This.......2004-02-12

Although the hype is strong, this record is nothing to write home about. Moloko`s previous albums were experimental, creative and a bit bizarre and offbeat. Their third release, however, lost a part of that touch, presenting a couple of fine moments and a lot of so-so ones. It`s not bad, it has clever and witty songs but the final result is lackluster. Roisin Murphy`s voice still engages, even if the songwriting is subpar and somewhat blah. The singles "Indigo" and "The Time is Now" are both fine compositions, but they are lost in here since the album goes on for too long and its interest quickly fades. All in all, this record is a good one to skip, there`s certainly better things to make and do than listen to it.

Customer Reviews:

A Great Live CD.......2007-06-05

I was quite impressed with the "reggae" version of "Am I the Same Girl?", as well as the blending of Lonnie Liston Smith's "Expansions" into their set. I am giving this four stars due to its outrageous price. All in all, behind the music is some superior musicianship.

Finally broke down and bought this CD! Euro Soul Rocks!.......2007-03-28

For a time, I passed on paying the asking price for this CD. However, I lucked up and got it at a substantial discount via an Amazon seller. This is truly a nice live, tight set. Better than they ever were in the studio. Music arrangements just like I like. Smooth and fresh!

This is BREAKOUT recording!.......2005-01-11

I am a relatively recent convert to Swing Out Sister. To me, the real test of a group is the ability to sing and perform live since it isn't in a studio to have all the equipment "pretty up" the sound and vocals. I was VERY impressed with Corinne's vocals and Andrew's keyboard skills as well the background singers and musicians. SOS is a "Breakout" group and it's a shame they are not as popular here in the US as they are overseas. On the news section of their website, it says they are planning a tour this spring, unfortunately, all the venues are overseas, including the Jazz Cafe (April 3,4, & 5th, 2005 per the Jazz Cafe website), where this album was recorded 12 years ago. Hopefully, they'll throw some US dates in there.

Long live SOS---.......2004-09-01

Wow! what a great CD. All the great tracks from their early years are here and the sound quality is top notch. They have such a cool style with the jazz beats mixed in with Corrine's incredible voice. I would love to see them live someday as this group is so over looked in the states. Easy listening even if you have never heard of Swing Out Sis.
B-R-E-A-K-O-U-T and buy this disc!!!!!

GREAT !!!.......2004-06-16

Doesn't matter wheather you're an SOS fan or not: if you have to save few albums and take them with you in the "desert island", this is one.
It's a groovy mixture of jazz, funky and pop. All songs are deeply rearranged compared to the studio version and it's a surprise (expecially if you already know the original versions) to listen to the new arrangement of "Twilight World" or "Am I the Same Girl" (to name a couple); the sound is rich, with each instrument playing at its best: guitar, bass, drums and percussions, keyboards, great arrangements of the brass section and, of course, the beautiful Corinne's voice.
There's a lot of fantasy and good taste in the whole thing.
My favourite song at the moment is "Who let the love out".
