I think the listening conditions make a big difference to this album; the whole thing sounds pretty meh on my car's CD player, for instance! But in bed, in the dark, with my decent CD player, the development within EINE really comes to life. Maybe it never will for you - it's all subjective, after all - but maybe there's still hope!Slippage said:I have to agree about EINE... it just continues along with the same level of "oomph" the whole time...I wonder why they haven't made their releases a proper 12-track length to be honest...
By " a proper 12-track length" do you mean the whole record being nearer an hour long? I would half-agree; for my money I'd like Faux Suede Drifter and Beast That Never Was to be an hour long each!

I'm a diehard addict of the earliest Frapp. When I heard there were no strings on Silver Eye, my weary heart sighed in disappointment. Oh ye of little faith!
Turns out it is bloody gorgeous. Perhaps I can do without Tigerman; otherwise, it is a Homeric epic, a wine-dark sea of magic and spell-casting.
The opening tracks are a prelude, and the closing pair a coda, and in between, BTO-FSD-ZB-BTNW-EINE make a single songline, enough to carry me through life for now.
Maybe that's a good way to picture it. I can't seem to place this tracklisting as something solid in my mind, if that makes sense. -
It starts very strong, ending is much calmer but still entertaining.

Congratulations to Goldfrapp. :)

Funny how this album wouldn't even break my Goldfrapp Top 3 yet I think a small handful of the songs are among the best they've ever done.

#1 on the vinyl chart though, bumped Ed Sheeran off!

He'll be back on top tomorrow (or next week or however it works). Funny thing, I don't know who he is besides people here talking about him.
If I were dead, could I do this? -
We've been down in Wiltshire for the last four days and wouldn't you know it, my IPod konked as soon as we set off, so I've gone without listening to the album for four whole days! Horror! I shall enjoy doing the housework etc like never before today- bring it on ( full blast).
