Sartori said:
Yeah, fair enough Sartori. I did actually watch something on youtube a while ago, and thought it was OK, but that's not really how I get into music, I think the music we like is the music we like and can't be forced upon us. You do have a point about originality, I would maybe even go as far as to argue that's very little truly original music after about 1983 anyway??? Maybe that's a bit harsh, but it is a bit like what hasn't been done before, not that some plagiarism is always a bad thing,etc,etc

What exactly happened in 1983?
/Chuck Berry reviews Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Clash and many more
folklore said:ALSO after Felt Mountain some people weren't keen on Black Cherry. And actually when Supernature came out people weren't keen on that either. And then after Supernature with Seventh Tree, then after Seventh Tree with Head First...and now here with Tales of Us...which hasn't even been released yet.
I'm not replying to anyone specific here; just a general observation:
Having been listening to pop/rock for over 40 years, it seems very apparent to me that the artistic steam which drives a songwriter or musician... almost always runs dry within 5 - 10 years. I have no idea why this is, but I will continue to appreciate their earlier work when the quality of their output fades. There are rare occasions when an artist can "bounce back" to original form, but this can take 10 years or more!
So I, for one, will always be a "fan", and remain hopeful that Goldfrapp will produce something of unique brilliance again... at some point.
