Surely a keytar is pushing it…

Isn't opening up to new musical ideas a good thing though? I think not working with guitars comment came about because in 2003 there were so many guitar bands around droning on.

It seems to me a strangely ill-timed rant. If the OP considers Head First such a low-point, why even bring it up 3 years on?
Alison has long-since moved on, as demonstrated by Melancholy Sky & Yellow Halo. Personally, I think those 2 tracks are pretty much up there with the best of their pre-2010 work.
Before jumping on here and highjacking the Goldfrapp News threads you should have noticed that in the previous board,Mirror said:
It appears the use of
lyrics went over many a “Frappers” head, although best to consider those a
personal message to the singer herself.Let Mirror make it
quite clear, it is not a troll, and its presence dates back to the original
board members back in 2003.
Halloween_Jack said:^ Hmm, the layout seems clear and easily-readable to me (apart from not having a clearer break between posts). What screen res/device are you viewing on, folkie?
People are
quick to draw conclusions, but Mirror never said the band should do a Felt Mountain 2.
God forbid,
that would be ridiculous.
But there
was a concept, an artistic integrity, a musical quality that has long gone.
Felt Mountain still sounds good, but
even Supernature sounds dated…
Also,
however flattering your insinuations, Mirror hasn’t actually commented on the musical quality of
the upcoming album.
Only questioning the band’s ability to come up with music that is, again,
fresh, renewing, exciting and relevant. It seems
like the general consensus on here is that everything the band will do, will be
better than Head First? Yet nobody wonders how they actually managed to release an album like that in
the first place?
Mirror only
wanted to inject a bit of critical thinking into this place: Head First was only mentioned as the
backdrop against which this new album surely is set?
Lots of people have commented that their excitement stems from a hope for a
return to form, which is in itself quite a bizarre motivation.
