Be With's latest must-have reissue isn't some obscure, dusty old gem, but rather Roisin Murphy's long out of print 2007 set "Overpowered". It received lavish critical praise on its initial release, with reviewers warming to the album's colourful and exciting mix of synth-pop, string-laden post-disco, retro-futurist house, grungy electro-pop, revivalist boogie and Moroder-ish Machine funk. It remains a fine set. For starters, it contains some of Murphy's most endearing and memorable songs, with her chosen producers - a list that includes Groove Armada's Andy Cato, Seiji and Mark de Clive-Lowe, legendary string arranger Larry Gold and Sheffield pals DJ Parrot and Dean Honer - conjuring up brilliant backing tracks that giddily eschew easy categorization.
