In another post, Jon mentioned the excellent singer, Roisin Murphy, formerly of Moloko who had those great hits, Sing It Back and The Time Is Now. Did you buy her new album during your weekly visit to HMV, Jon? Did anyone else buy the album? I hear it's superb. It debuted at #20 on the album chart yesterday. I'd love to read your reviews of her album.

Pleased to see you also admire Roisin. Yes, I loved her Moloko tracks (have her album "Things To Make and Do"). She has a nice soprano voice, though perhaps a bit limited in range. I haven't bought her new album yet but did have a listen to it on the headphones in HMV Piccadilly Circus the other day. Seems quite retro 80s kind of stuff. Love the first track which she sang on that TV show I mentioned, "Overpowered", and a couple of others stood out too. It's selling for £9.95. Her appeal for me may be something to do with her being Irish. Well worth the purchase, I'm sure.
