Moloko's Mark Brydon chats to I Like Music

Moloko's Greatest Hits Album, Catalogue is out now, and testament to the quality music that Mark Brydon and Róisín Murphy made during their time together. When Mark met Róisín Sunderland-born Brydon had already worked with artists as diverse as Sly and Robbie, Cabaret Voltaire, Karen Wheeler, Psychic TV, Yazz, Eric B & Rakim, Ten City and The Art of Noise. He was also a founding member of the influential FON Studios in Sheffield: the birthplace of many early records by the like of 808 State, Pop Will Eat Itself, Nightmares on Wax, Warp records and on the day that they met, the as yet unnamed Moloko.

Róisín Murphy, hailed from Ireland via Manchester and had never written a song before meeting Mark, but had done some screaming in an experimental Manchester band. Róisín was neither a mopey chanteuse nor a pouting diva. She purred and growled, romped and stomped, roared and soared. She was to become the kind of pop star we could do with more of. From debut album Do You Like My Tight Sweater? (we did) to final album Statues (released 2003) Moloko have provided a soundtrack to our lives with standout tracks including Sing It Back, Time Is Now and Familiar Feeling, among many others. Just prior to recording Statues, Mark and Róisín ended their relationship as lovers, but carried on with Moloko until the time felt right to stop.
