Moloko - Catalogue Greatest Hits Album

When Mark Brydon met Róisín Murphy, 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 glorying in the not-very-sensible name 'And Turquoise Car Crash The'. Originally inspired by the flinty charisma of Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and the Pixies' Kim Deal, 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. Scroll down to watch their VIDEOS and check back soon for the I Like Music interview with Mark Brydon.
