Catalogue (Moloko Album)
''Catalogue'' is a greatest hits album by English-Irish electronic music duo Moloko. It was released on 17 July 2006 by The Echo Label. Spanning two discs, ''Catalogue'' contains Moloko's singles and a track exclusive to this compilation, "Bankrupt Emotionally". The second disc contains a live recording of a concert recorded in 2003 at Brixton Academy, at the end of the band's eight-month tour performed that year. The US version does not contain the second disc. For US listeners, this was their first time hearing most of the songs on this album, as aside from the entirety of the first album (which was released as part of the electronica hype of the late 90s and because of "Fun for Me"'s inclusion on the '' Batman & Robin'' soundtrack) and " Sing it Back," the only other Moloko track released in the US was "Indigo" on the '' Mystery Men'' soundtrack. ''Catalogue'' also includes a bonus disc in three different exclusive versions as digital downloads, one each for iTunes, Nap ...

Moloko
Moloko () were an English-Irish electronic music duo formed in Sheffield, England, consisting of vocalist Róisín Murphy and music producer, producer Mark Brydon. Blending elements of electronica and dance music, they are best known for their UK top 10 singles "The Time Is Now (Moloko song), The Time Is Now" (2000) and "Familiar Feeling" (2003) as well as the 1999 Boris Dlugosch remix of "Sing It Back", which became an international hit.

B-sides
The A-side and B-side are the two sides of vinyl records and cassettes, and the terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side of a single usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay, with the aim of it becoming a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms ''A-side'' and ''B-side'' metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with ''B-side'' sometimes representing a "bonus" track or o ...

Imgur
Imgur ( , stylized as imgur) is an American online image sharing and image hosting service with a focus on social gossip that was founded by Alan Schaaf in 2009. The service has hosted viral images and memes, particularly those posted on Reddit. History The company was started in 2009 in Athens, Ohio, as Alan Schaaf's side project while he attended Ohio University for computer science. Imgur was created as a response to the usability problems and lack of file retention encountered in similar services. "It took off almost instantly, jumping from a thousand hits per day to a million total page views in the first five months."

I Am Not A Doctor
''I Am Not a Doctor'' is the second album by the English/Irish electronic dance music duo Moloko, released in 1998. The album received critical praise, although it was not a big seller. ''I Am Not a Doctor'' was issued in the UK by Echo Records. The songs on the album built upon the electronic pop of Moloko's first album, ''Do You Like My Tight Sweater?'', with further experimentation in drum and bass and synthpop. Included on ''I Am Not a Doctor'' is "Sing It Back", a track which entered the UK Singles Chart twice, becoming a top ten single in 1999 after being remixed by Boris Dlugosch and experiencing massive success in nightclubs.

Things To Make And Do
''Things to Make and Do'' is the third album by the electronic/dance duo Moloko, released in the UK by Echo Records in 2000. It was a sonic departure for Moloko, with the tracks being less reliant on electronics and more on live musicians. In addition to the change in musical styles, the lead singer, Róisín Murphy, had changed her lyrical style. At time of release, Murphy summed up the previous style of her lyrics, saying, "I was nineteen when I made '' Tight Sweater'', and I knew I was pretending, but if I tried not to, I'd still be pretending. Now, I know myself better," and her lyrics on this album are described as, "Roisin's most direct and emotionally honest lyrics o far" After the release of ''Things to Make and Do'', offers came in for Murphy to guest on others' records, most notably The Psychedelic Waltons, Boris D. and Handsome Boy Modelling School. The album held the record as Echo's fastest-selling UK platinum record, until beaten by Feeder's '' The Singles'' c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Time Is Now (Moloko Song)
"The Time Is Now" is a song by Irish-English electronica- pop duo Moloko, released as the lead single from their third album, '' Things to Make and Do'' (2000). Members Mark Brydon and Róisín Murphy conceived the song as an acoustic dance recording, not wanting to turn it into a loud, drum-heavy track, unlike much of their earlier work. Characterised as a "disco anthem", "The Time Is Now" has been described as one of Moloko's least electronic efforts and a musical standout of the 3rd millennium's outset, receiving positive reviews from music critics. The song's multiple cover artworks were designed by Lizzie Finn and photographed by Barnaby & Scott. "The Time Is Now" was released on 20 March 2000 by Echo Records and charted at number two on the UK Singles Chart the same month, outpeaking the band's previous single, "Sing It Back", which reached number four. In May 2000, the song was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales and streams greater than 400,00 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
