Dominoid is a quintessential slice of mid-90s Sheffield eccentricity. It captures Moloko at their most experimental and least pop, before they transitioned into the disco-house titans of the late 90s. The title track is built on a thick, elastic bassline and Roisin Murphy's idiosyncratic vocal performance, which oscillates between a sultry croon and a rhythmic chant. It is music that feels both sophisticated and slightly unhinged, perfectly capturing the post-rave comedown of the era.
