Lord Sausage Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Just listening to Moloko, haven't for a while, and i'm just wondering if there is any love for them on here. Never really seen anyone mention them. They developed from a good little electro duo to an incredible band and unsderated. Saw them live on the statues tour and it was amazing. Here's a couple of tracks [media]http://youtu.be/yrfg7xa1r3M[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/1XVteRgZFkQ[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I like them, obviously their output hasn't been that significant for the past 10 or 12 years due to their breaking up, but they had some great tracks. Bring It Back came on the radio the other day, reminded me that not all house music coming out at that time lacked intelligence and good songwriting.

lowdown Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I thought they were great, they kinda helped move House Music on a bit at that time. Roisin Murphy has quite a few solo tracks out there. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise it ain't current and they split up time ago, but it still souns fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think they left a bit more of a lasting impact on music if we're being fair! I always get reminded of Goldfrapp whenever Moloko get mentioned, another act that I really love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVPVacTqgWg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 moloko's 1st album ('do you like my tight sweater') is brilliant i've got 'things to make and do', which is good, but not a patch on the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Absolutely. Much undying love for Moloko. When 'The Time Is Now' went into the charts it did make me realise that the X-Factor's of the world will never suppress good music forever.

Deep Thought Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Much underrated band. 'The Time is now' has a classic bass intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think I've mentioned Mark Bryson on here a few times in the past, I really rate him as a bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
