Recently I've started listening to Momus after 20 years. Something suddenly urged me to search for the CDs of his early works which I should have kept in my room of my parents' house. And I found some of them but I couldn't find some. I remember nothing about what I did the lost ones.
I'm sure that I'd never listened to Momus since I gave up following him twenty years ago. That's why, now, his early works sound like a time capsul to me. I didn't listen to his music so much at that time even if I was a fan of him. But I think his music was so galvanic to a young girl that after long time, still, she quickly got pulled into the atmosphere she had experienced before.
It was the pre-Internet era and I didn't have that much money. It means that I barely knew that he comes from UK ( I didn't know even he's a Scottish ). Everything was so important to me even if it was a very small article on a magazine like 'More better' or a picture of the CD jacket which generally had no lyrics written.
I couldn't get his whole image. That made him so potean and mysterious to me.

I surely loved 'The Ultraconformist'. It has a rough image of him on the CD jacket. Since it felt different from his usual image, I was kind of attracted to it. And the tracks are recorded in one of his live performance, so I felt the atmosphere of the live place from how the music resonates and the audience's reaction. His voice sounded different and stronger to me.
Generally I don't like any remixed versions of songs because I never thought they were better than their originals. I wish songs that I love would be longer and also want something a little different ( but still kept the original good points ). I think his phantasmagoricality satisfied young me so much.
His music connotes contradictions, for instance, the lyrics are dark but the melody is clearly beautiful. Or the words are ironical but the voice is sexy. And I love a contradiction.

I'm singing 'La Catrina' with the lyrics for the first time because I didn't know them before. How perversely beautiful the melody is. And I sill can't understand what the lyrics mean though.
I also feel that 'Cheques In The Post' is special because I listened to his new version of the song on his youtube channel after twenty years.

I feel creepy when I think about his voice. Why it still sounds the same as twenty years ago. Perhaps that's making me more confused and more attracted to him.
