the waiting game

I've been playing around with Soundcloud for a while and I totally dig it. Imagine being able to share songs among friends in a simple, easy way. Oops! My infomercial roots are showing. Must get those touched up.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I discovered a brand new track that's about to be released by New York, electro maestros, My Robot Friend, which features the husky, dulcet tones of Alison Moyet. It's called "Waiting" and it's going to appear on MRF's forthcoming longplayer, "Soft Core", which will be available on October 13 from all fine shops (what's left of them) and digital storefronts.

Clicky click for joy.

It almost starts out a bit like "The Other Side Of Love" for a moment. Then that unmistakable voice struts in and lets you know she's raring to blow. The whole thing has shades of Yaz.

Apparently, there is a new, greatest hit collection in the pipeline scheduled to be released before the end of the year. As if brilliant sets like "Singles" and "The Essential Alison Moyet" didn't cover her career properly. Not sure why someone feels the need to scrub them up.
