Silver Eye (main album thread)
I have to agree about EINE. Frankly I find it rather like a warm-up track for the HF tour. I keep hoping it'll grow into something bigger but it just continues along with the same level of "oomph" the whole time. I honestly get very b…

If they can at least squeeze out one more and choose Systemagic, the album will rake in more sales. Apple Music just featured it in their "A" playlist or whatever it is, as well.

Jo Whiley Live Session 4th April
God, this woman is so infectiously adorable and sweet it makes my heart skip a beat. Seems so rare to come across innocently kind and really humble people, especially in the music industry. Her laughter and chattiness kept me hooked to my speakers, …

Yay! Mine finally arrived. No scribbles on the packaging - my name was printed on it. Vinyl in perfect shape and CD came with bonus booklet, signed by A+W (cheekily one of them upside down. Smart-asses knew I was gonna frame it! Lol). Currently blas…

Definitely. In my opinion it feels like an evolution of the sounds from all previous albums sans Tales of Us, combined. I find myself blowing through the whole album (really hate how short it is) in next to no time, without enough length to it for m…

In my preferred order: Systemagic (will drive sales way up if given a video and marketed widely) Tigerman Ocean I doubt they'll do more than three more, if even one. Here's hoping, though.

Vinyl Records
I agree, some electronica-based albums are better suited to digital audio. That being said, I find Head First offers a greater sense of atmosphere and scope on vinyl, particularly on such beauties as Hunt, Dreaming and Rocket. Other albums like Tomo…

Ha! Beard clippings. Too funny. Did you get yours from eBay as well? That's where I found these two pictured (the HF one setting me back almost 150 CDN). I fell in love with the presentation and way it was framed, so couldn't help myself. …

Beast That Never Was
This track always reminds me of Ulla for some reason - perhaps it's more related than we know!I'm not too fond of Ulla for some reason (I don't know what it is - perhaps the melody being sing-songish like a tease on the playground), a…

My order is in Chicago as of April 1st, so likely been switched to Canada Post without providing me tracking info like usual. Should arrive tomorrow given the distance. I look forward to adding Alison (and hopefully Will)'s autographs to my gro…

I'm hearing horror stories of orders being completely wrong. In some cases, those waiting are receiving other people's orders with the names felt-tipped out and Music Glue is being absolutely spineless about the whole thing. They won'…

Ha! Thanks for checking it out. I intended it to come across as nothing but respectful to the band but also a review that distances itself from my admiration for them, focusing solely on the music itself (I mention this intended neutrality here and …

My own review is now live. Check it out! http://www.coreyreed.net/reviews/2017/3/30/silver-eye-goldfrapp-2017 It's gorgeous. Really blown away by this, cohesively.

Was actually disappointed by Faux Suede Drifter, as I had hoped she would continue with the beautiful melody from the one minute snippet. But it's only done that one time. Instead, most of the track is distorted and echoed vocally in a way that…

Bonk - Oh no, the forums down again
After nearly endangering my computer I *think* I found the leak, which was then promptly deleted. So might be the real thing. 100 mb .zip file taking 40 min to download? Yeah, similar to when Tales leaked. Only reason I'm grabbing it is to wor…

Become The One
I think Systemagic and Become the One will be the singles for this era (they seem tailor-made for it), possibly followed by Ocean and Faux Suede Drifter if the album does well.

Apple Music is advertising the album too via their Twitter. It's going to hopefully sell well with that kind of tangible publicity.

I'm equally frustrated at my own Music Glue order. Emailed them yesterday and they said they're checking into it. Still haven't gotten back to me. How absolutely asinine to not send them out at least at the beginning of this week. St…

Ooh! Want! Love when they put out completely unnecessary but addictive goodies like this.

First 20 posters signed by Alison and Will! Get to that merch stand!

Keep an eye out for the merch Alison mentioned, guys — specifically the "fun pins" that I'm hoping find their way to eBay in some slight capacity! ;)

I agree. There are people who should not be reviewing content. I'm already working on the review of Silver Eye for my website and fully intend to be respectful to the band, as it ought to be done in every review. I don't like every song, b…

Everything is Never Enough
Gorgeous track, though the audio from the show was strangely lacking any sonic oomph. I'm sure the studio version will be incredible - reminds me of I Wanna Life. Ah, that song. I still laugh every time I hear it thanks to Alison's careful…

Odd how the audio from the show seems to be devoid of bass or depth in some areas, such as Ocean, Anymore and even bits of Systemagic, but is sublime and thumping during what I consider the best performance of Slide In ever. The songs kind of lacked…

I absolutely love her hair like that. Wish she'd style it that way for shows - would be easier for her to see and not have to flick it out of her face all the time, lol!

I'll be infinitely grateful to anyone who manages to produce a complete recording of this show! Have nothing to give in return but my love, however.

Amazing. Simply stunning. ... and I haven't even heard or seen it! Lol

I agree, lol! People generally don't have patience on Facebook. They want quick, processed cheese equivalents of information fed to them on a silver platter.
