Silver Eye (main album thread)
I like "Anymore." It's like "Rocket, Part 2." see "Rocket, Part 2" reads as a major diss to me... Rocket was the reason Head First didn't get the attention it deserved, and I think it was a big part of why re…

votes for next single
I've love to see Systemagic and Everything Is Never Enough, though they could definitely do a fourth too. Let's hope Mute plan to keep the campaign going.

Silver Eye (main album thread)
A full impression is still taking shape but the songs have definitely taken hold. Zodiac Black and Beast that Never Was are for me the least memorable tracks, but hard to pick favorites. It's at least a 4/5, will obviously need some time to pro…

Introduce Goldfrapp to your friends/family in only 20 Songs. What would you pick and why?
I actually very recently made my partner a Goldfrapp mixtape (by chance exactly 20 tracks) since he would be joining me for the Roundhouse gig, and has so far only explored Tales of Us and a few odd highlights I've sent his way (Number 1, Utopi…

Anything happening with the vinyl reissues rumored a while back?
Just had Head First through the door. £10 including postage. Sealed. Bargain. Head First and Tales of Us came out when the vinyl resurgence was in full swing (so more than likely more copies pressed versus earlier albums), and (hate to admit it…

So it's 4.5 stars out of what? I'd expect five, but the review in the next column gets 6 (?)

Anymore - remixes
I wouldn't really get my hopes up for much in the way of mixes or special releases this era. The level of promotion and investment from Mute is nowhere near what it was up from Black Cherry through Seventh Tree. It all seems more in line with a…

Discogs is great. Never had much luck finding the studio albums, but did nab Lovely Head and Human on vinyl for $6 each, among countless other singles and rarities for a pittance. I'd like to agree that the reissues could have a positive effect…

Anything happening with the vinyl reissues rumored a while back?
I've only Seventh Tree and Felt Mountain left to find on vinyl (utter hell thanks to the stupid RSD version), but I think it's likely that the band is waiting on Silver Eye to perform well and for some more interest to be generated in thei…

Am I the only person who sees a box with 'image' written in it, and no review? Or is 'Image' the review? If so, short and pithy! I'm not seeing it either. Anyone just have a link? It suddenly appeared for me D_H, like a m…

The thread is called "Era 7 inteviews". Hate to see it get confused... Not confusing at all ;)

Record Store Day Special - Felt Mountain Coloured Vinyl
that's a silly reason not to go... considering US fans didn't even get to see Tales of Us live, you'd think we deserve a nice bonus here and there. i went early today but probably didn't even need to - there were a bunch of copie…

doesn't really match the color palette of the album AT ALL but should be nice nevertheless

that's a good point. oh well, hope for the best i guess!

Record Store Day Special - Felt Mountain Coloured Vinyl
may i make a suggestion that if forum folks find the album in their stores, pick up an extra copy or two to offer up to fellow fans on here? i'm planning to hit up whatever stores i can on RSD, but who knows if they will actually have them ther…

Record Store Day Special - Felt Mountain Coloured Vinyl
I should warn you (based on recent and past conversations with record stores) that they don't necessarily know until they get their Record Store Day shipments whether or not they will actually have everything they ordered. so it might be wise t…

B-Sides... best to worst
it's really a shame they never released a special edition of "the singles" rounding up some of the bonus tracks, extra singles, mixes, etc. i'm of the opinion that some of them rank among their best, even though others are somewh…

Press on Tales of Us
kaleb20, would it be possible to occasionally update the first post with links as people post them, in a semi-organized way? then we could have an easy reference for all press at the top of the thread rather than having to wade through pages and pag…

Comment by deep_honey June 2013 permalink
no
For me, side two is much more inconsistent. Ignoring Rocket, the next four tracks are among my favorites. Everything after is lesser by comparison, at least for me. It's ironic to note that they were rushed into it and perhaps pushed to have a …
