  • Yeah but anyone else notice? All the warm ups are before the start of British Summertime, the Roundhouse after. Lighter nights, a brand new world ( well, nearly).
    The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
    Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
    Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
    Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
  • Constantly checking different sources for the Japanese bonus track... If it's just an instrumental or something I'm gonna be heavily disappointed (and will cancel my order to Amazon Japan).

    Another thing i'll add is that I think they made the right choice for the single, especially if it's going to be a singular single and then the album.  I agree with the person who said Systemagic is single material, but only as a follow up and from what I can remember it wouldn't have been as good had it been our first impression of Silver Eye.  


    For me personally, i'd love the next single to be Faux Suede Drifter, but then I enjoy my slow moving depths of heavenly chords and vocals.  It's the one song i'll be absolutely dying to hear up until the album drops!  On the contrary, Become The One is one i'm apprehensive about, as I couldn't get enough info on the 1:00 clip as to whether I like it or not, but I doubt i'll dislike any of the songs on this album TBH.


    I agree with Systemagic being a single (was probably me who mentioned it a while back), and I feel it is the most radio-friendly of the tracks on the album and would do the best. That hook and chorus is awesome, akin to Rocket but in a good way (though, Rocket is fantastic in my opinion).

    Although, the absolutely breathtaking Ocean is not far behind in terms of radio appeal. Stunning track.

  • Sorry if this has already been said.. but I really wish this was the album cover - it's such a beautiful picture and matches what I envisage the style and sound of the album to be like.. Aesthetically pleasing and creative at the same time.. The current album artwork I just.. don't know. I wish it was for the 'Anymore' single (call me old fashioned but it bugs me we don't have single cover art)

  • For me, the single releases should be as follows (based on the minute-long clips, of course).  
    This could change once I hear the full songs:

    1.  Anymore
    2.  Systemagic
    3.  Faux Suede Drifter
    4.  Ocean 

    Solid album.  Very Black Cherry-esque with some of the edges smoothed down.  I hope it's as spacious and sprawling as BC was.  For such an angular album, it had a sense of patience to it.

  • I don't know.  What is so fine about Goldfrapp is the quality of their stage work.  It is as close to studio quality as I have ever heard.

  • It says that for every track, just changes the number depending on where it comes on the album

    it's a stomper...same with Ocean
  • Is there actually a bonus track?  Couldn't see anything tracklisted even on those Jap sites.
    Soon be nothing of this world.

    Ocean sounds like the track I've always wanted them to do. I really hope it gets a video, preferably of her in trailing fabric in a vertical wind tunnel a la Ghost In The Shell being illuminated by strobe lighting.

    Yeah, I've probably thought about it too much.

  • I saw that slowly deflate and collapse one night. Alision was chasing roadies all over the stage, kicking their arses to re-erect it or make it stiff again! Bet she's not done that since!



    Were you at the Oakland show?  This happened there too!

Howdy, Stranger!
