Monday's Long Song

 

Today's long song arrived a few days ago and I was surprised to listen to something new by Róisin Murphy. To be honest it is not a new song - it is the live version of a collaboration she did with producers Luca C and Brigante 10 years ago. While Flash Of Light was originally was a good dancefloor song in the tradition of Moloko this version is a powerful excursion in house-proved rhythms with jazzy effects on a very solid rhythm base. I was lucky enough to see this version live later this year on a fantastic concert by her band. For me a good start into another working week.

Exploitation

I listened a lot electronic music the recent days and still astonished how many great songs you could find in this genre. One of them is the latest release of Roisin Murphy. Some will remind her as the voice of Moloko back in 1995. A subdued, dark song, a sad, completely unobstrusive song which shines in a maltreated soul. On the sound of a discreet housebeat and in between some Spanish guitars the song gets it's flow. Always done by the miraculous voice of Roisin. Great.
