    Rather than watch it on the actual Goldfrapp website, the same video - in a choice of resolutions - is on youtube here. As I said, I was able to download the HiDef MP4 file from youtube - it's about 75MB.

    Well, I finally got it running on the site after downloading the latest Firefox.  It's playing ng pretty well.  But, I don't see the button for downloading it to a file, which was the main reason I wanted to get it from the site.  Any help?

    Erm, well it's pretty much 7T if anything. It will take a few listens to get used to it. I will listen to it without watching the video.
    The video for me well, not sure what sort of a message thats giving out but not to my liking at all. I just dont get what the necessity of being arty has to include nakedness! It doesn't tell me anything just cheapens it. Hey ho maybe it's just the way I've been brought up.
    Overall initial thoughts is I'm not blown away but disappointed. I'll probably change my thoughts by Thursday but going to take a LOT of convincing
    I wonder if I can still cancel the overpriced deluxe box set???? :-? :-q

    4/5 listens get's the thumbs up from me, I like, love in fact the darker image, exactly the opposite to the  last offering (whic I also like/love). Nicely arranged, epic sound, it might be compared to as a bit 7T/FM but it sounds different to these ears at any rate, a new era for Goldfrapp again and I love it....

    thats a shame you're not keen Bells  :(
    were you not that taken with 7T either?

    i think the thing with nudes is they represent an unfettered image, for me i see a memory, one thats unspoiled by the drudgery of every day life or reality. a moment in time thats remembered as one of those 'perfect' moments. i think the songs quite sensuous and for me the video fits that well. but hey... we all take different things from what we see and hear.

    My interpretation is they're naked because they're either dead, imaginary, or just memories, which is why the keep appearing and disappearing in the video. When Alison walks into the room at the end of the video and see's herself standing at the window with the people in bed then begins to shed her clothes that's a sign that either she's died or she's entered her imaginary world again (either a fantasy world, a memory she wants to change, or some kind of split personality going on). But that's just my opinion.

    That's along the lines I thought too, that she was shedding her clothes to give in to her yearning for her memories which, in effect, is what the figures are/were?

    @Bells I get where you are coming from.  I hate nakedness for the sake of it or in an objectifying crass way, see that Thicke plonker as an example *VOMIT*

    This doesn't irk me the same way, I think it is nicely done & fits in well, even though something I am not usually fond of in a video.
