4.0 out of 5 stars Holy Eurythmics Batman!!!, February 10, 2001

O.k, so Mulu don't sound exactly like the Eurythmics, but they are indicative of what that group would sound like in this day and age if they were still in their prime. Mulu also features a soulful singer with a hell of a lot of range. Although they've been called tip-hop, and yes, excellent songs like 'Desire' and 'Trixter' do have "that familiar sound", to pin them to one genre is far too limiting. Songs like 'Filmstar' and 'Pussycat' are pure, well written pop. The singer, sounding like Annie Lennox using her lower register one minute, and trilling and swooping like Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins the next, is what makes this group great. A very self assured first album. Let's hope it won't be the last. Similar Artists: Eurythmics,Sneaker Pimps,Bjork,Moloko.

I bought this cd when it first came out in '97 and I still enjoy listening to it! Two of my favorite songs are tracks 10 and 13. I highly recommend this cd to any one interested in hearing unusual music and can appreciate it! EXCELLENT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU MUST HAVE THIS CD!!!, March 17, 1999

The first song I ever heard by Mulu was played on a college station. It was an infectious little ditty called "Pussycat". I was curious to hear what the rest of the cd sounded like and I was amazed! I've played it at least three times a day since I bought it two weeks ago. "Filmstar" is dynamic and would be great music for a motion picture, while "Desire" first seduces, then mesmerizes you like a new lover. I am infatuated with the female vocalist who sometimes sounds like Bjork, sometimes like Natalie Merchant, sometimes like a sultry jazz singer - she has a wonderful range! Laura Campbell is definitely going places. If this cd were played on popular radio stations Mulu would definitely be an overnight sensation. You've got to own this one!
