Let me make it very clear that both me and my partner have been buying everything by Goldfrapp we can get hold of for the last 7 years (we got together partly because of a mutual madness for Frappness) Leaks are harmful and they mean less money for …

Ok, Leak Freaks. Alvar is wrongly labelled as Jo, and vice versa. I was at the gig and the songs were played in the order of the album track list (minus Thea) It's a concept album! The first performance was a dreamy fairytale track containing…

Jo's opening sounds like a Walt Disney tale, a book you start reading... There's something majestic in it, I swear. It's hypnotic! So beautiful. This is the most stunning and well crafted music Goldfrapp have ever produced, and I&…

Thea - the elusive
It's definitely a War song, the marching through what sounds like rain. The rain could just be my copy adding to the ambiance :p Am I going mad or are there horses at the end? Sounds like 'wanted you dear' have i missed something…

What's Your Favourite Goldfrapp Track?.
Can't shift Clay from my brain. I love it but it's stuck and I'm worried it might wear out....

What are you listening to now?
Something I shouldn't be. I feel very naughty.

Thea - the elusive
Dreeke: do you hear the words 'wanted you gone wanted you dead' in one of the verses as well? Or is that just my twisted mind? Sounds like 'wanted you dear'

So now all we're missing is "Jo," since "Thea" wasn't played. It is SO HARD not playing these videos! I'm holding out for the studio versions. :) Joey where is your signature quote from? Joni Mitchell's &quo…

I can imagine a DiCaprio voiceover reading the letter out to a Jude Law in the closing scene of a new film by Steven Spielberg while Clay being played in the background only too well. For a start, Brad Davis without question, and George Clooney. …

Jo has the chorus 'Run, you better run,' and isn't guitary like that one which is almost certainly Alvar.

Oh. my. Word. So, so beautiful, thank you for posting. Yes. This is still my favourite so far, even more so now. (oh god I've got mascara on...... No more weeping!!) One of my lashes ended up in my vodka... =((

Thea has been kept under wraps and there is the more rocky stylings of Alvar, so if you add Jo and Clay to the mix, it is quite a varied album. The whole thing is a huge love letter to the past (and present) and like k d lang's Imgenue, you jus…

And my best too, Carpy (I did spot you near the front on the first night but didn't really get to socialise) and I thought The Royal Festival Hall was impossible to top. High as a kite when we left (on music and cherry vodka)
