Numb was a bit of an advert/trailer favourite for a while, I seem to recall. You can see why!

I never even knew that Numb was a single until years later but all of the advert uses make it very nearly as familiar as the big two.

It's well spooky.

Worth remembering that summer 94 was the height of Britpop. Perhaps not a surprise that the album took until the winter to really cut through.

It's such a frosty winter album. I remember Glory Box appearing on radio in late 1994 early 1995 in the dark months.

The intro to this is soooo good.

And then her voice comes in and just lifts it even more.

I need to listen to the lyrics properly I think - now I've realised how good it is.

Pedestal is back to more standard/less devastating fare, but I'm liking it!
 
What was the timeline of this album compared to the first Moloko one? Because I can definitely see similarities between some of Beth's vocal phrasing and what Roisin was doing early in her career.

Roads is a real discovery in terms of songs that I wasn't previously all that familiar with.

Iā€™ve heard it before but kind of forgotten it existed. It will be on repeat endlessly at Chez Lucille ce sour.

Moloko were certainly later.
 
Dare I say it, Pedestal is the first track that feels a little bit like filler. To be honest, like I've already said, I tend to listen to this as one long track without thinking of the various songs as individuals, so I'd hardly notice normally.

But if this came on, on its own, I wouldn't be as taken as I am with the rest of the album.
