Catalogue is a greatest hits album by English-Irish electronic music duo Moloko. It was released on 17 July 2006 by The Echo Label. Spanning two discs, Catalogue contains Moloko's singles and a track exclusive to this compilation, "Bankrupt Emotionally". The second disc contains a live recording of a concert recorded in 2003 at Brixton Academy, at the end of the band's eight-month tour performed that year. The US version does not contain the second disc. For US listeners, this was their first time hearing most of the songs on this album, as aside from the entirety of the first album (which was released as part of the electronica hype of the late 90s and because of "Fun for Me"'s inclusion on the Batman & Robin soundtrack) and "Sing it Back," the only other Moloko track released in the US was "Indigo" on the Mystery Men soundtrack.

Contents

Catalogue also includes a bonus disc in three different exclusive versions as digital downloads, one each for iTunes, Napster and MSN. These exclusive downloads consist of live versions, remixes of Moloko tracks and B-sides.

In 2009, the album was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association, indicating sales in excess of 30,000 copies throughout Europe. [1]

The video also refers to the Soviet government's intervention in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 on a banner showing the text in Hungarian, which translates as "Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty". The scene with the inspector girl who stands before the tank harks back to the young man who stood in front of the line of tanks in 1989 in Tiananmen Square, which itself has become an icon for resistance.
