2000 studio album by Moloko
Things to Make and Do is the third album by the electronic /dance duo Moloko , released in the UK by Echo Records in 2000. It was a sonic departure for Moloko, with the tracks being less reliant on electronics and more on live musicians. In addition to the change in musical styles, the lead singer, Róisín Murphy , had changed her lyrical style. At time of release, Murphy summed up the previous style of her lyrics, saying, "I was nineteen when I made Tight Sweater , and I knew I was pretending, but if I tried not to, I'd still be pretending. Now, I know myself better," and her lyrics on this album are described as, "Roisin's most direct and emotionally honest lyrics [so far]."[3] [a]
After the release of Things to Make and Do , offers came in for Murphy to guest on others' records, most notably The Psychedelic Waltons, Boris D. and Handsome Boy Modelling School . The album held the record as Echo's fastest-selling UK platinum record, until beaten by Feeder 's The Singles compilation six years later. The track "Indigo" was featured on the soundtrack to Mystery Men .
As of May 2015, the album has sold over 355,000 copies in the UK.[4] As of December 2000 it has sold more than 750,000 units worldwide.[5]
Singles and bonus tracks [ edit ]
"The Time Is Now ", the album's first single, became Moloko's biggest hit, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart and prompted a number three UK album début for Things to Make and Do .[6]
Before the album's release, an unsolicited Boris Dlugosch "Sing It Back " remix became a club, then mainstream, hit (it was originally a drum and bass -ish track on I Am Not a Doctor , their previous album). After the remix became a significant hit in Ibiza and Miami , then achieved scores of dance mix compilation inclusions, it was added to Things to Make and Do as a bonus track .
