"The Time Is Now" kicked off the campaign for Things to Make and Do, the third album from Irish-English duo Moloko, arriving on Echo in March 2000. Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon, who wrote it together, had a deliberate swerve in mind: after so much loud, drum-heavy earlier work, they pictured this one as an acoustic dance record. It has been called a disco anthem and one of the least electronic things Moloko ever made, and it sounds like the machines were sent home early.
It shot to number two in the UK that same month, two places higher than "Sing It Back", went gold by May and made the top 20 in four more European countries. At the 2001 BRIT Awards both the single and its video were up for prizes.
