Well, i was watching some Golfdrapp vid's just now and it reminded me of Fox (this really was Goldfrapp .. only 30+ years earlier :-) (and i love it !).
Maybe they should do a 'covers' project next .. as in all the tracks that have inspired them ?. (I'm thinking Nick Drake, Cocteau Twins, Fox, Ennio Morricone, Serge Gainsbourg, etc) and name it 'Inspire'.
ive never listened to the carpenters by choice, and while sitting on the loo at work the other day one of their songs was played on the radio. so obviously ive brought a greatest hits things... see what they're all about.
