The original of "Sing It Back" is on Moloko's second album, "I Am Not A
Doctor". It has the same vocal, but with a much jazzier backing track than
the house/disco remix that became such a big hit during the summer here in
Europe.

PS: Moloko's second album is IMO even better than their first, and that was
pretty damn good. However, if all you've heard is the remix of "Sing It
Back", then you'll find their albums to be, errm... different.

i can't add much except that they had a record out in 96-97? called "do you
like my tight sweater?". i can't say iwas really bout it bout it - though
the new tracks on handsomeboymodelingschool and the new f111 release make me
want to give it another listen. as for mixes i am digging the mousse t and
levent ones the most at the moment. there is also a evrsion of the "sing it
back" with a male vocal qhich i have heard is the original from unreliable
sources.
