    Pretty picture. It moves.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    when i first watched it thought it was meant to represent the importance of always making sure your belt matches your shoes.... (FIRST VIEWING pre-coffee)

    but then i read that it might be about turning women gay --- which is ridiculous given the fact that people typically don't TURN gay - they ARE or they AREN'T.... (then I had several coffees, the fog lifted, and;)

    I read about the origins of life theory (@whispered) and I thought - OK - Alison might represent god (an alien really if you look at her outfit in the early shots) creating life on earth, then leaving and becoming (through our human interpretation of higher power) the devil - BUT - I don't know what that all means.

    Do we have confirmation that Alison directed the video?  I hate to say it, but I really miss Lisa's eye and how lovingly and sensually she captured Alison's image.  Even in videos in which she made, essentially, a cameo, like 'Stranger', her presence felt essential.

    Wasted potential IMO.
    Soon be nothing of this world.

    Looking at the video again, the baldie in the orange looks quite masculine - not worked out yet whether that is significant....

    Are you guys just upset that there's no D in the video? Just curious. I would've liked more, longer shots of Alison myself. She's still got it :)

    Kinda feel like they waited a bit too long on the video.  Seems like the official YT audio is going to end up with more views than the video.

    Great location, but too little Alison.

    So what you're saying is this is Alison Goldfrapp's guide to particle physics......
    To be set alongside Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics http://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm :)



    Not so much particle physics, more a solution to the problem of biogenesis (we all know Alison's affinity to the living world). So she works in a different faculty to Britney.

    There is a preponderance of V though.

    Agree with the concensus here
    Too generic
    Too arty
    Too little Alison
    Too little Lisa
    Not enough Wolf Ladies or kaleidoscope mirrored images
    When in Red, not enough of A with a whip!
    The red outfit should have been leather ( or faux suede???)
    It's Goldfrapp though, so as long as she stays away from that white corrugated lampshade outfit from the HF tour...

    You been flicking through the Thesaurus again Iuv?

    Interesting that there is no Director credit, but a DOP credit to David Bently see link below to his web site. One of his credits is Kudos/Channel 4 Humans. Edit. Confirmed he is also overall Director.

    Producers were LEZ Creative, and one of their previous works was this from Marina and the Diamonds. Not a big MATD fan but illustrates the point of including more of the actual Artiste in the Vid
