downer: the full version of "love in the making" is relegated to the second "sequins" ep only - you just get the one-minute 'prelude' on the album.
possible downer: i have a strange feeling that this record may go the way of another recent herbert-related project, dani siciliano's 'likes', which just disappeared on release. from recollection, only marcello carlin and angus gordon had the taste and smarts to rate it high by the end of the year. here's hoping roisin's record does better.

I'm not a fan of Moloko, but I did like 'Do You Like my Tight Sweater', but I had no idea until I picked it up it was produced by Matthew Herbert and thought for 50p I couldn't really go wrong.
I like it a lot, and agree with jwd, its got some really classy twisted pop tunes on it, her voice sounds absolutely lovely and it does sound like a true collaboration.
(I also got Sly and Robbie's Taxi Sound 30th Aniversary for 50p as well, so will be checking that place out again soon...)

but this one works and is pushing forward, "if we are in love" is a perfect fusion of herberts big band tiresomeness married to actual fun funky production and, well i think roisins voice is awesome.

Is it still the practice that artists often release the second catchiest single as the lead off track, and then the catchiest as the 2nd single?

heres a question not related to the album, but to her n herbert.
i listened to herberts tresor mix the othr day and its got a tiny bit of "herberts tasteful dub" of molokos "sing it back" on it, and it sounds awesome, but juno list it only appearing on a dobule pack of remixes of the tune. does anyone know if it came out on a normal 12"? i really want to get it, but dont want the dlugosh mix or the somebody or other mix.
in fact, based on that clip i would say for me
herberts tasteful dub > sow into you > molobert
for the perfect fusion of herberts house and roisins voice

wasnt into the hand on the plow mix though, not sure why there were so many threads abotu reposting the link. it seems a bit...unnecessary.

The video, btw, can be downloaded here: http://www.simonhenwood.com/news.aspx. It of course features a decapitated Roisin, her dancing with sliced bagels, and a spirit rape. (Possibly.)
The same link has the single artwork. I find the painting a little creepy, but there you go.
