Review of Things To Do & Make - Moloko by
XZCrusader
Advantages: like no other
Disadvantages: may be inacessible to new listeners
"Things to make and do", the third album from Moloko duo Mark Brydon and Roisin Murphy is an eclectic mix of pop, jazz and electronic dance music, with the club smash "Sing it back" thrown in for good measure. With eighteen tracks, the album is good value for money, as the huge variety of sounds and musical influences on offer mean there's something for everyone, be it a pop ballad or the darker, more rock-oriented sound of "Remain the same". Although ...

Itw ill make and do
Review of Things To Do & Make - Moloko by
Waz
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
You have to feel sorry for old Boris Dluglosch. One minute he was just some nobody remixing Moloko's 'Sing it back', reportedly not even getting paid for his good deed. Then next, it was the biggest summer anthem of 1999, Moloko were proplled to superstar levels of coolness and he was still just a DJ nobody. Ah well. Such is the unfairness of life. Still, there'll be plenty of people out there there eager to find out what Roisin Murphy and co do next.Although ...

Sing it back is on there
Review of Things To Do & Make - Moloko by
dannyuk1982
Advantages: Sing it back, The time is now
Disadvantages: most of the other tracks
...back is on this album, things to make and do, the third offering from moloko
its definitely the best track and nearly 10 minutes song too, one of the best songs ever to be honest and a huge hit,
The time is now is also a cracking song, yet very differnt style, without the beat and more guitar/bass it is different, yet catchy and popular.
THe thirsd single, pure pleasure seeker however was not so good, but passable, although i was dissapointed ...

Cool new sound
Review of Things To Do & Make - Moloko by
Mildred
Advantages: groovy and varied music
Disadvantages: none
When I was on Ibiza last summer, “Sing it Back” was just released and played everywhere - in every bar, every club and at every party. It was one of the best tunes to make sure the people would get in a good mood. I was quite sceptical about what the album would bring. However, I was pleasantly surprised with “Things To Make and Do”. There are diverse and creative moments on this album. I like the strange mix of Latino flavoured guitar rhythms and ...

Things to listen to
Review of Things To Do & Make - Moloko by
sayman
Advantages: wierd
Disadvantages: wierd works both ways
Moloka if im not mistaken is a three piece band, which produces “alternate pop/dance” which I think is a quote. And I think that about sums them up. Their first hit “sing it back” was massive in clubland and ibiza. It was one of the anthems of the year. Their second track the time is now, wasn’t as good but still very entertaining, and this really showed the public what alternate pop was, cos it was quite a weird song I think, but then they really ...
