Felt Mountain GOLD Vinyl edition
Is the new reissue prone to the same audio quality/compression issues of the white reissue from a few years back? I remember seeing a lot of complaints about it paling in comparison to the original pressing back then.

Rescheduled gigs for Felt Mountain 20th anniversary tour
I’m so happy for you all to be able to see them live once more! My god, does the band ever sound great (Alison’s looking incredible - that hair and makeup!!! - and sounding stronger than ever, even nailing Anymore which sometimes appears to be a tou…

Great track. Her vocals and those high notes… straight-up Utopia/Slippage (heh)/Fifth Element vibes. And Alison hinting that more is coming soon…. I don’t think it’s Royksopp related at all, either. Feels like album 8 needs more time in the oven. P…

Album 8
I’ve had enough of the Royksopp song and haven’t even heard it, all thanks to the absolutely idiotic way they’ve been teasing it. Without ever crediting Alison. They can take their giant yo-yo and stuff it where no one go-goes. Anyway, I too wonder…

Triple-vaxxed (Pfizer) here in Ottawa. Husband works as a dietary aid in a private long term care facility and has three as well. If anyone’s heard about the Nazi invader redneck psychopaths making our frigid capital a hellish wasteland, it’s not ov…

Completely scatterbrained and delusional approach to “releasing” this track. More than a few people rightfully pissed off and tired of the sliver-of-carrot-on-a-stick nonsense. They ought to give their heads a shake and egos a few less strokes. Mos…

Album 8
How’ve you all been? Hope everyone’s staying strong, both in respects to the pandemic and the drip feed of whatever in the world Alison is up to! I’m floored more than anything that they didn’t get to do the Bond theme for No Time to Die. Remember …

Album 8
I would love to see them take on either a dark, stringy and sombre or tropical, tribal approach. The latter would definitely tie in with her understandable rock obsession!

I was nervous too! Felt like sitting down over tea with her. She was clearly uncomfortable too at first, lol. She should do a Reddit AMA, more than anything. Would give her more time to read questions.

Such a lovely person! She answered my question about working with Boards of Canada towards the end (kinda!) and lit up like a Christmas tree at reading the band's name. Really struck a chord with her! Mum on Vangelis though, which leads me to b…

I think it's an east coast tour including New York, Canada, and South America, in addition to a reissue with b-sides. Maybe. Or a film. Actually, I think a film, yeah. Either a live taping or an art film. Hopefully with Lisa directing and an ac…

Enya
Oh great. Now I'm getting visuals of her in lounging in bed wearing a dirty t-shirt with half a dozen empty beer cans and two empty pizza boxes while watching the darts, with her glancing out the window to ensure she isn't getting caught. …

Enya
Enya's music has saved my life and inspired me on countless occasions. I feel bad for her though, considering what the poor woman has been through with prowlers and whatnot. I can understand the need to live privately and cut off from the utter…

Silver Eye (main album thread)
I think, for me, it's that the album behaves like a cocktail of ingredients from previous records. It's a wonderful album worthy of the Goldfrapp name, and Systemagic is the track I always hoped from them, but now, I've reached a conc…

Alison's birthday 13th May
We really made her day, and that got me through a tough fast food shift today, incidentally. Paying it forward, people! Lol. She also interacted with me on Twitter for the first time ever, replying to my posts and liking things and whatnot. Thankin…

Silver Eye (main album thread)
Kylie? She's working away on a new album — and hopefully one that's actually deserving of her name, image, and talent as opposed to the Pharrell-manipulated mess that was Kiss Me Once (in my opinion). New label too, so I'm not super w…

Gucci Bloom Launch
She looks so much younger under proper lighting. Love the gorgeous hair colour too, though I expect it won't be long until we see a natural brunette/raven period before going back to ToU hairstyles and colouring. Well, hopefully anyway. She was…

Tales of Us, unconditionally. That album has a special place in my heart. I really hope they revisit such a lush soundscape again. Wouldn't complain if they stepped away from electro-dance after Silver Eye, at least for a while.

Systemagic (Second Single)
I'm surprised to have actually loved the video, despite zero Alison presence which does strangely piss me off considering how awesome it could have been with her in it (though I'm getting over it and couldn't be angry at her if I trie…

Boards was a huge influence on her during the production of this album, particularly the album Tomorrow's Harvest and tracks like Reach for the Dead. One of the best albums out there really — you can lose yourself in the atmosphere it creates. …

GOOD. It would have been a wasted opportunity to really grab people's attention if they chose something else, as much as I love Ocean, Tigerman and the others. Systemagic has that snap, crackle, and roar to it that the young crowd gravitates t…

I'm so glad they chose Systemagic, as their first television show performance in this era albeit. I'm so getting a single/music video vibe from their treatment of this track. Hopefully, I'm correct. This track will print money.
