Though its a singles collection, Monsters of Love: Singles 1985-90 doesnt offer a complete portrait of Momus work on Creation, excluding as it does material from his two best albums, Tender Pervert and Hippopotamomus (the latter of which was released after this collection). Apart from three tracks included on The Poison Boyfriend, most of whats here was originally released on EPs (including 1985s The Beast With Three Backs) or non-LP singles. The latter category includes the Dave Ball/Richard Norris remix of Dont Stop the Nights The Hairstyle of the Devil -- the version that became a surprise underground hit in the U.K. -- but overall, the collection skews heavily toward his earlier years. That means theres a lot of melancholy, obsessively intellectual folk-pop, and not as much of the witty, misanthropic synth-pop that came to represent his later work. If youre looking for an introduction to Momus singer/songwriter phase, Monsters of Love is a very good place to start, but while most of its songs are unavailable elsewhere, newcomers should be warned that it doesnt add up to the comprehensive overview they might expect from a singles compilation.
