it's a shame that the rest of the crookers album is so bad. they got it right on this one though. there are a few others that are ok, but this one just clicks.

I can't believe i like a Crookers track. I'm gonna get kicked off the Erol forum for this. ::hangs head in shame::
(oh wait, I'm already banned.)
But seriously. These days, Roisin Murphy could sing over my fax machine and it would still be the most amazing track in the world.

I don't know how I managed to avoid hearing it (or even knowing it existed, for that matter), but her cover of "Slave to Love" is AH-MAY-ZING.

It's not like the maxi for "Movie Star" was all over the place here in the US, so yeah...I'm a little late.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 05:14 (thirteen years ago) link
it was just an easy pun off yr name tbh
i remember hearing 'let me know' when i was visiting my sister in seattle, it was on the radio & at first i thought it was some lost cut from 'the perfect beats' tommy boy comps or something ... beat was super 80s electro, but the vocals were way more contemporary sounding ... tripped my shit up, esp when i didnt realize it was roisin so i was feeling it context-less. i was just like, 'what an inventive blend'
― blap...tremendo (deej), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 05:15 (thirteen years ago) link
listening to this for the 1st time, very disorienting, cuz i keep hearing the ghost of ferry's original in the back of mind, as accompaniment. synth arpeggios & vox are very nice, but damn, it feels way too fast! want it to all crawl a bit more slavishly towards the feet of love. pace is less distressing during the verses.

"Momma's Place" is awesome!

Yep, it is, Alfred. I'm so eager for a proper follow-up to Overpowered.
― rennavate, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 04:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Momma's Place is pretty awes, but Orally Fixated was straight bizarre (in a good way, imo).

ok holy shit, "Movie Star" is the best song I've heard in a while---this is my first listen to this album & this artist in fact---cannot stop playing "Movie Star" though
― Euler, Thursday, 12 August 2010 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Lots of better tracks on the album IMO. Have you got to "Dear Miami" yet?
― seandalai, Friday, 13 August 2010 00:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, I listened to it all, but "Movie Star" just hits all my spots. I'm open minded! I'll listen again...
― Euler, Friday, 13 August 2010 01:48 (thirteen years ago) link
"You Know Me Better" is the JAM.

There's not a track on the album I don't like, but for me "Primitive" is the high water mark.

so many great songs on this! you know me better, let me know, primitive, and tell everybody are prob my favs

"Cherry Picking" apparently being released wide on 12" vinyl today after just being limited on RSD. Still no sign of any digital offerings, though. >:(
