Momus -
"The Philosophy Of Momus"
[ Released on Cherry Red Records - CD BRED 119 - May 1995 ]
MOMUS SAYS:
1994 is an extraordinary year for Momus. He rescues Shazna from Bangladesh, they marry and move to Paris. He moves back to Cherry Red and makes this album. Stylistically confused, the music veers between reggae, techno, blues and acoustic styles. Its main theme is the way the digital age is changing our ways of thinking about sex, memory, and liberty.
PHESPIRIT SAYS:
Momus once more seeks to reinvent himself but has not quite made up his mind what he wants to be. The Philosophy Of Momus is the most eclectic of all Momus albums packed with some of his most sublime and inventive songs, plus a little excess weight besides. Judiciously pruned to, say, a ten track recording this would have been the greatest album of the mid-nineties.
