Let Me Know is the standout

Movie Star or Let Me Know but what a great album and I wish she was interested in doing stuff like this still

"movie star" would be my #2, probably. goosebump inducing

brimstead, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link

it is absolutely fabulous and i am sick and tired of people sleeping on it!!

i've always avoided this band bc their name makes them sound like a company that makes pencil erasers but i'll check it out!

i liked the last murphy record but never think to check her other stuff out. maybe it's time

This album is her career peak, imo, including her Moloko years.

I'm blasting "Movie Star" at the moment.

dear miami is really good

Mi Senti is pretty underrated

Week of Wonders (Ross), Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:43 (six years ago) link

mi senti absolutely rules

You'll be director
And I'll be a movie star

For years I would have gone with the title track, but recently I've been drawn to Tell Everybody. The chorus is one of her best vocal performances and I really love those stabs of strings in the second verse. It's very early Eurythmics. Primitive is also a contender. I could pick almost anything here as this album truly is perfect.

Statues is my second favourite Murphy related record. It was ridiculously ignored when it came out.

kitchen, i'm a big fan of that closing vocal on "Tell Everybody" - "I almost remember your face, but it's fading, it's fading fast" and how the vocals are chopped-up on the outro

Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 17 November 2017 05:19 (six years ago) link

Statues is my favourite, followed by Hairless Toys

Not surprised YKMB won, but impressed with Primitive's strong showing!

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 11 February 2018 03:32 (six years ago) link

i totally forgot which one I voted for lmao. i think it was "Let Me Know"? but "You Know Me Better" def would've been my second choice.
