Do You Like My Tight Sweater? Reviews
See how it fits my body!
A fantastic debut album from the Shefield duo. They say it's Grim Up North, but judging by this release it's definitely 'something' up North, but Grim? No way! 'Do you like my Tight Sweater?', written and produced by Moloko themselves, is full of energy, surprises and interesting sounds. Some of the tracks take a few listens to get into but the majority are instant hits. Roisin Murphy's vocals are brilliant & challenging throughout, she also looks great in a Nurses uniform but that's another story. The rhythms are wide-ranging: from Trip Hop and Elecronica to Drum & Bass and just plain weird. Even the short interludes between the main songs are great. The cool music is supported by even cooler, bizarre, dada-esque lyrics. Altogether a splendid CD from the 90's. The tracks I love the most are 'Fun for Me', 'Day for Night', 'Lotus Eaters', 'Butterfly 747', 'Killer Bunnies' and the all time classic 'Where is the What if the What is in Why?'
Moloko have come a long way since this debut LP, with massive singles like 'Sing it Back' and 'The Time is Now' which have been remixed to death and are always guaranteed air play. Although their subsequent albums aren't as adventurous as this one, they're also worth getting. But this release is still my favourite, possibly because it was the first CD of theirs that I bought. Let's hope they never stop releasing their own brand of uncompromising freaky dance material.
The best CD I've bought in years
I'm warning you now, I don't think there will ever be an album that deserves 5 stars, or a "perfect" album. That said, Moloko's debut release, "Do You Like My Tight Sweater" is full of crazy funky sounds and nonsensical, playful lyrics. The teaming of the hypnotizing Roisin Murphy and the masterful Mark Brydon is a match made in heaven. The CD hooks you with the whacked-out bass and bouncy lyrics of "Fun For Me" and (almost)keeps you entranced through the emotional "Where is the What if the What is in Why?"
The sound of Moloko is too unique for categorization. The best way to describe it would be "electro-funk-trip-hop," but there is just such a wide array of styles here that it is hard to choose just one. To call "Do You Like My Tight Sweater" diverse would be an understatement, with the smooth jazziness of "Day For Night" and the drum&bass of "Butterfly 747" that makes you move.
Unfortunately, Moloko's smooth style and crazy, playful lyrics begin to wear thin a ways into the CD, with the "love or hate" songs like "Party Weirdo" and the creepy "Boo." It can also get a to be a bit too much after frequent listens, but with amazing songs like "Lotus Eaters" and the previously mentioned "Where is the...," "Do You Like My Tight Sweater" will most definitely be in heavy rotation in your CD player. Taste the funk of Moloko.
HA HA HA HA
THAT CHEEKY MONKEY SONG, SO FUNNY, THAT TRACK IS SO GREAT MAKES ME LAUGH.
YES, I LOOOOOVE YO' TIGHT SWEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there were to be an award for the funkiest album of all time, Moloko's "Do You Like My Tight Sweater?" would win hands down. From the super-funky opener, "Fun For Me," to the out of this world sounding "Party Weirdo" to the R&B meets P-Funk,"Dominoid" and the swanky tell-it-like-is "Where Is the What If the What Is in Why?" this baby is packed with so much funk it stanks!!!! With the sexually seductive and playful vocals of Roisin Murphy mixed with Mark Brydon's crazy sci-fi beats and solid basslines--did this guy study with Parliament or something?--they have truly created a classic that sounds just as good today as it did in 1995.
If you love weird music...
I don't think I've ever managed to keep interest in one single artist for so long. I bought this CD when it came out... and almost 8 years later I continue to enjoy it. If you love weird quarky music, then you'll love this. Moloko made her impression with this CD. It is a MUST HAVE for any Moloko Fan.
Moloko is far too distinctive for easy comparison, though the duo's blend of deep electrofunk groove, club beats, and hip absurdist vocals--along with a brightly colored retrofuturism (Moloko is, after all, a reference to
A Clockwork Orange
)--comes closest to Deee-Lite. By flashing a truly loopy attitude with songs as fresh and thrilling as they are catchy, Moloko makes
Tight Sweater
one of the best debuts of the year--no matter if it is 1995 (its actual year of release in the group's native U.K.) or 1997.
