Tracking Down the Frapp
I don't recognise some of these! It'd be great if they are actual songs and not titles that ended up merging / turning into another song during mixing / mastering. Telegraph poles sounds like an intriguing title.. I remember seeing '…

Silver Eye tour - first hints
Praying for Glasto. I'm also interested in Blue Dot.. never been before and it's not far from where I live. LOVE Jodrell Bank too.

Silver Eye (main album thread)
Anyone remember "Sex Exciter" by Scissor Sisters and Goldfrapp? I feel like it's a good Systemagic placeholder until the 31st :) https://youtu.be/8Mw2UYZrwN0 I. Had no. Idea. This existed. Never heard this before! I met Jake at a…

@MonsterLove Systemagic and Ocean are two of the most explosive songs on the album, in my opinion. You will not be disappointed in the slightest, particularly if you like Thea, Train, Strict Machine, Dreaming or Tiptoe. But if you can hang in there …

I love Ulla! But I know what you mean.. it does come and go and not much happens. I love the verses and the harmonies, and that gorgeous cello. The only one I'm torn with is probably Alvar. I love it from an instrumental / experimental point o…

Systemagic. I'm 100% certain, having heard it. They're trying to convey this album to the public as another upbeat romp, it seems. And that's smart — it'll generate more income and interest. They need to use this one. Without goi…

I love Lee, I remember thinking it wouldn't have hurt putting it on somewhere in the middle of the album and having 11 tracks in total, but I understand maybe they just wanted Tales to be a 10 track affair. I'm sure I heard the intro (or s…

Tried that! However it allows me to edit my e-mail address but not my username.. I'm not that it's possible. Thanks anyway!

Quick question.. do you know if there is any way to change or alter your username at all? I'm considering changing mine but so far with no such luck..

Any guesses on the next single from the clips? I haven't heard any of the clips yet (trying to hold out..) but I always like to look at the tracklist and imagine what the 2nd, 3rd singles will be.. I've heard a lot of speculation on certai…

I've rekindled my love for Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz album.. remembering this amazing single-that-never-was.. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fqKjIquR5Bc

Era 7 Interviews
Anyway, something feels missing from the video for me... I think it's the lack of Alison in the latter half. It would have been more interesting to me if she were a little more involved in the action. I feel like we're missing a.. point o…

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.. Th…

Mine is quite obvious... Seventh Tree love :x :x :x I used to post here around 10 years ago with a username that was a lyric from RAWH.. however after around 50 posts it finally occured to me that ''Your My Leader'' was horrendo…

Going by the titles which track intrigues you most?
Systemagic & Moon for me.. also intrigued by the final track 'Ocean'..The final tracks from Goldfrapp's last few albums have been my faves (Monster Love, Voicething, Clay)

I did a little yelp of excitement when I saw the above covers.. too good to be true. I love the positionings of the text / pictures and that font too.. Anyone hoping for a nice matt finish digipack design? I know they're not as durable as stand…

Another bump. Hope you don't mind me sharing some more news :) If Alison and Will ever saw this then.. that would complete me! The album is here... After 5 years of planning, a year of campaigning and a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears - th…

Just bumping this thread! :) I wanted to give an update on the album above - and to see whether anyone can help! The composition is complete, and so is the majority of the recording. However in order for the album to fully come to life, my music tea…

Black Cherry is not a case of bad to worse, it is from Fabulous to Outstanding. Well said!

I can never decide between Hairy Trees and CG as my favourite song. However after looking at my iPod play count for Frapp I did the same for Black Cherry.. perhaps a little inaccurate with 'favourite' songs as some of the 'commerical&…

Supernature.... best to worst
It's interesting listing your favourite tracks from an album and then comparing it to the amount of plays on iTunes/iPod.. According to my play count of Supernature my order is: Ooh La la (197) Ride A White Horse (161) Number 1 (145) Koko (13…

New Florence album arranged by Will
Perhaps TOU was a concept album, with its eponymous titles and structure it needed to be viewed/listened to as a whole. It was a phase in A& W's writing relationship that they will probably move on from, just as they wanted to go up tempo f…

Has Alison recently mentioned they're in the studio but no new album anytime soon?? Exciting.. but I'm willing wait. I think after Head First they definitely aren't the kind of artistes who work under pressure or against their will...

This has now been fixed! I received an e-mail from Spotify to apologise for the length of time it takes, but they had to get record company permission. Just checked and it's now correctly titled Hairy Trees.. and strangely enough the play count…
