Ruby Blue
The lead singer of Moloko takes a step to the side to release her first solo endeavor, co-produced by Matthew Herbert. This is the first time electronic pioneer Herbert has lent his production skills to anything other than his solo works, and it's being called his best work yet. Packaging features the vibrant artwork of Simon Henwood. "Ruby Blue" is an underground classic waiting to spread its wings.

Figuratively speaking, take twelve cats, tie their tails together along with lots of tin cans then string this mess around Yoko Ono's neck while she "sings" - that would be music, this is not. Pity, too, because the talent of all concerned is obvious, it's just wasted on this garbage.

Roisin Murphy/Ruby Blue
rating: 5
This is a great cd. Roisin has a very unique voice and the instrumentals are fantastic. I highly recommend this cd.

One of My Favorite CDs OF ALL TIME!
rating: 5
There is really no comparison to this CD... except maybe the one Roisin is about to release. Roisin mixes vocals and electronic muzak beautifully, masterfully, and with a purpose seldom matched lately. This CD is VERY cutting edge, very good for casual listening, dancing, driving, background music, or really virtually anything except (maybe) a funeral... yet "Night of the Dancing Flame" might just be dark enough.
Roisin takes you on a journey from darkly ecstatic klaviers and bass, to down low jazz lounge tunes, to chilled out love songs, to pure electronic dance (which is what I love most about her new CD, Overpowered), to hip tunes, to manically entrancing tribal beats, and back again. I cannot stop singing the praises of Roisin's artwork.
_If you have any taste in modern music, you'll love Roisin Murphy._
She is quite possibly my favorite musical artist to date.
Without a doubt 5--no, 10--stars.

Ramalama Bang Bang
rating: 5
That song was my introduction to Roisin Murphy; like another reviewer here, I heard it on So You Think You Can Dance.
Gotta say though, I downloaded the CD on iTunes for a lot less money. These import prices will kill ya!
I hope Amazon doesn't mind my saying that, since they get a good chuck of my annual disposable income anyway :)
Oh, yeah - the CD is terrific!

Sow into RóisÃn
rating: 5
This album was very difficult to find in the U.S., but after hearing and seeing the video for the brilliant "Sow Into You," I had to get it.
Since then, I can't stop playing it. I love the funky eclectic mix and very organic jazzy-house feel that genius producer Matthew Herbert blends with RóisÃn Murphy's amazingly fierce soulful, sexy, and sweet vocals. She perfectly straddles the fine line between delectable pop and funky experimentation.
