Notes

Inspired by Róisín Murphy's visits to the Body & Soul NYC club nights in New York where she witnessed the crowd sing back the lyrics to records when the DJs turned down the volume.
Moloko's label initially opted for Todd Terry's version as the main remix until reaction to Boris Dlugosch's on Pete Tong's BBC radio show, plus pressure from Róisín, convinced them to release Dlugosch's as the key mix for the wider release later in the summer of 1999.

      As extensively said before, Herbert's Tasteful Dub is a true gem, rich is its simplicity of plain and extensively researched concepts. Perfect for introducing a set, perfect during the set, perfect ending the set. Perfect anytime.

        Shit record... You'll only find neverending disturbing voices and a dirty beat in all the long of the tracks...

          I have this release. Just with a plain white cover and HMV Import sticker on the front.

            I feel blessed to just find this record at Extend And Play in Marseille, after few years looking for it. As said bellow in some previous comments, the Herbert's Tasteful Dub is an exceptionnal track, one of some best house remix ever. No doubt about it !

            Theses days, vinyl has become more than ever a consumation goods for esthete middle class. In many ways, mostly due to new virtual turntables technologies, its interest degrows years after year.
            However, it's ever a deep pleasure to get a record you looking for it for years, especially because sometimes there something biographic in a way.

            I this case, I remember exactly when I discovered the Moloko Herbert remix. I came to Paris at fall, five years ago, for a Tama Sumo gig at Djoon club. I felt so enthousiast to hear her again. I discovered her with a friend few months before with a legendary closing at Panorama Bar at early summer and I saw her again few weeks later at the famous Robert Johnson club after a long trip alone by bus. In Paris we had some drinks with my friends before the night at Djoon. We've talked a lot again and with emotion of this Berlin night and how we felt engraved by this quite spiritual experience. A friend put the Herbert's Tasteful Dub and we immedialty noticed this track and its contagious groove.

            Still stuck in the pandemic after two years with clubs closed again, this tune souvenir sounds to me as a life milestone. Now this record is like a permanent mark of friendship, crossed with music love and sense of belonging of humanity that only house music can bring, especially on the dancefloor in a noble sens. That's why sometimes, put hands on wax is not just reductible to a disctintion goods and is way more about personnal affective path and social links that embrace you.

              Boris Dlugosch's remix of this track took a song with a decent vocal but was utterly forgettable into an absolute house classic. Felt like everyone had the touch back then, but that repetitive guitar lick combined with Roisin Murphy's vocals like chocolate and marshmallow. Just absolutely unbelievable how something so simple has such staying power. The pinnacle of the disco/french house remix.

                Sing It Back (Herbert's Tasteful Dub) is maybe his best Herbert remix ever. Maybe.

                  "The guitars in the Boris Musical Mix come from an old Shadows song".

                  Hmm. Citation needed. Especially as this release credits the guitars to 'M.Bartel'. https://www.discogs.com/Moloko-Sing-It-Back/release/7892 At least tell us which Shadows song you think it is.

                      Just the one review on this...? Jungle + liquid popularity was just starting to fade from the mainstream and a popular UK house scene was slowly emerging. Sing It Back is one of the tracks that helped push the house sound forward. To me, a cracking track with high production and hasn't aged in 17 years. A great tune to mix with clear intro and outro beats. Will fit in any vocal house set, new or old. Guitar break + chords plus the cool vocals, sing along chorus make this instantly recognisable and one for the ladies. Boris Dlugosch masterpiece - a tiny little slice of house class & history. Decent video that used to do the rounds on MTV Dance. If you're into your house with a European angle... get this 12"!!

                        Herbert's tasteful dub is one of the best remixes ever made and is a must have for anyone into more soulful restrained music. One that can be played in a lot of different situations, perfection.
