Seventh Tree - 2021 Reissue Yellow Vinyl
hmmm, i'm not even sure they would do head first - copies are not very hard to come by and sell for cheaper than on original release. the others were all rather limited and expensive secondhand before the reissues. they weren't really delu…

Album 8
As long as the nature exposure doesn't lead to another Tales of Us... Don't get me wrong, I love Goldfrapp's quieter side, but there just wasn't enough *kick* to that album looking back (still a gorgeous and engaging work but not…

Black Cherry Purple vinyl re-issue
The reissue might chart on the vinyl or indie sales charts, but I doubt it would trouble the main album charts. Will see though - sales are so rock bottom these days that anything could happen...

Black Cherry Purple vinyl re-issue
it's not the sleeve, but an art print that's signed, so I'm less concerned about missing out... i'm very excited for this and for the announcement of a full series. i've been dying for this and Seventh Tree ever since the gl…

Would be a great idea to put some vinyl reissues in the meantime to remind folks of their legacy and set up for the next album... It seems like Mute can't be bothered and I can't quite figure out why. They'd definitely sell...

I feel like I'm not emotionally ready to move past Silver Eye yet since I'm still bitter they never really toured North America. their last US tour was for Head First... I hope whatever it sounds like they get a better booking agent to go …

Silver Eye Deluxe Edition
anyone picked it up? the photos/design intrigue me but i feel like i need a really good price point to bother re-buying

Silver Eye Deluxe Edition
It all ties into each other, and unfortunately I get the overall impression that they just don't have strong advocates willing to put up the upfront investment to take them to the next level anymore (either at the label or somewhere along the l…

Live chat stream thing on the GF Facebook earlier, with quite a few of us namechecked. She even read out my comment/question at the end "Good. I'm glad you thought that, got...that's nice...." Recording nuggets included; - ther…

Silver Eye Deluxe Edition
still wishing this deluxe edition had a bit more variety or meat to it. oh well. will get it if the price is right.

Silver Eye Deluxe Edition
do you think they make much off the special releases and memorabilia? I'm just putting this out there as an open question and not a critique. I often think the same when Bjork releases all kinds of special editions of her albums and wonder ho…

Goldfrapp/Dave Gahan collaboration on "Ocean"
Not sure why they'd leave Mute, or be dropped. They're nowhere near their peak sales, but they still chart reasonably well with their albums, especially for an indie like Mute. Comparable to other veteran acts, definitely.

I guess most pop musicians are going to get to a stage where they are mining increasingly thinner seams of creativity; I'm not sure I can think of any with the longevity of GF who continue to be as prolific in their later years. Having said tha…

hmmm definitely some missed potential in terms of tracks included here... is the video mix of EINE really different enough to warrant release?

Video/DVD
Do you think Alison has these films made and then decides not to release them because she's too self critical or something? I hope not. it's because music DVDs sell next to nothing nowadays. even big artists rarely release them, so I…

next single: Ocean or Everything is Never Enough?
They used to have such great packages for their single releases. Now even a measly digital EP seems to be a rare, huge effort.

Somerset House Summer Series
Seems like most people in the video are swaying or bopping along to the music. Should they be flailing wildly? Or should they be doing the Solid Goldfrapp Dancers Systemagic dance? granted, there are more folks openly dancing at somerset house tha…

Somerset House Summer Series
HATE to say this considering many of you are from the UK, but this video sort of confirms it - whether it's a British thing or just the demographic of Goldfrapp fans, I'm taken aback by how little UK fans MOVE at their shows. Saw them at o…

next single: Ocean or Everything is Never Enough?
i'd also pick Everything is Never Enough. Ocean is great but not the right pick for a single. That said, based on what seems like a total lack of interest/investment from the label, I doubt a third single will happen.

US Tour Dates
Yo urban, I don't really consider Brooklyn + Philadelphia to be anywhere near decent coverage of the east coast. I'm in Ohio, so would be driving regardless, but skipping Chicago, D.C., Boston, etc. is just lazy at this stage. They played …

US Tour Dates
"world tour" what a concept. they're crossing the ocean and paying all the associated high fees but not bothering to do more than the west coast... WHY???

Systemagic (Second Single)
I'm glad they are so successful! Good for them. I was hoping that would be the case. Is that England, Europe, World? UK. They're like Goldfrapp in that they focus most of their promo attention there, but unlike Goldfrapp, they bother t…

Systemagic (Second Single)
I wouldn't exactly say their 'push' of Erasure was/is very successful either considering the only person i've heard/seen talk about them is you, TinSoldier :)) Perhaps Mute just isn't up to par these days, but I think with…

all's quiet on the singles front it seems... a shame too, they should be pushing this HARD in clubs and on radio. does Mute just not have a budget anymore or what?

There's an implied impermanence to social media. Good luck trying to find stuff posted to a Twitter or Facebook group a few years ago. Really, you can hire someone to scroll and still not find what it was you thought you remembered seeing. For…

well, in general, most people don't use forums anymore (at all) versus facebook, twitter, etc. so that part doesn't surprise me in the slightest. i mean more in terms of actual promotion of the record from the label/band/radio/etc. This fo…

why does it seem like promo's kind of dead altogether? this is Goldfrapp's most marketable and modern work since Supernature and yet... silence so quickly :( It does feel like it's died down a bit hasn't it? The fan reaction to …

No, radio's ageism was the reason why Rocket, and consequently Head First, underperformed. Did any review really specifically single out Rocket as a weak track? I'll have to disagree with you there. Alison was never fit a "young pop …
