Roisin Murphy on new old ways

The first work of the Irish and former lead singer of Moloko stands out on the first run mainly by an unpredictable variety of arrangements, whereby it would be wrong to speak here in the colloquial sense of "bells and whistles".
For if the use of everyday ordinary ensembles as shoe heels, alarm clock, etc. is realized in such a wonderful way, in an all-embracing concept, as it is here at Roisin Murphy is the case, then one can already speak of a particular art form.
The Avantgartdist Edgar Varese, one of the pioneers of experimental music, would have - albeit with a slightly different perhaps claim - certainly taken a liking to Roisin Murphy's work.
Matthew Herbert has here, as already Moloko times again done a great job. His contribution to the album you should by no means forget.

Ruby Blue is distinguished in many ways from Moloko concept. Above all, it shows in the more common used ensembles that require the vocals by vertrakten structures more and thereby let Roisin Murphy's voice seem even more expressive and wonderful. In the Moloko works here and there an unnecessarily drawn into the length piece Stohl repeatedly in between, without actually musically essential is that expressed. In Ruby Blue is found, however not a single piece which is longer than about 5 minutes, which is not at the same time said that Roisin Murphy has entered the mainstream of minorities.

Ruby Blue is musically quite a quiet corner - not to say - get more mature than the previous albums.
The lyrics are pretty catchy and to act uniformly without cheap, simple or cheesy. Highlight this certainly the story "Dear Diary" and the onomatopoeic "Ramalama Bang Bang".

Four Stars there because one. The quick-change artist Roisin Murphy, who throws herself once in a smart suit, sometimes in a skin-tight, shimmering swimsuit, Just have to see live to understand their music and art properly
Roisin Murphy is more than music and is artistic Moloko certainly in no way inferior.
