Struggling to believe this is Alison in 1982... I really had to look at that twice. Her hairstyle for album 12 maybe? Lol.

saw two people shazam 'anymore' while it was playing at the gym today... was such a nice break from the crap they usually play which includes a horrid horrid song from the depths of hell called "rockabye" --- it literally plays 3…

Zodiac Black should honestly be the very last choice for a single

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest !
I did make a promise that if you made this thread... I'm from Northern Ireland, or as it is less affectionately known, "Norn Iron". (Makes sense if you know the accent). Of course I live mere minutes from the border so whether I quali…

Music Glue : Order issues
By the way, when Roisin Murphys stock arrived damaged and she realized that she couldn't send the pre-orders of her album out in advance (which is what should have been done here) this is how she handled things: And this was because the …

Funny how this album wouldn't even break my Goldfrapp Top 3 yet I think a small handful of the songs are among the best they've ever done.

Music Glue : Order issues
I'm fascinated as to where everyone lives in the world. There is a tendency to assume everyone in from the UK, with a sprinkling of more exotic locations but it seems this forum has a wider international footing than it at first seems. So we h…

I'm a diehard addict of the earliest Frapp. When I heard there were no strings on Silver Eye, my weary heart sighed in disappointment. Oh ye of little faith! Turns out it is bloody gorgeous. Perhaps I can do without Tigerman; otherwise, it is …

Anyone else finding that after 7 or 8 listens they still can't fully get a read on Silver Eye? Yes, agree with you Low. I like it. I want to like it more but I feel something is missing to put it up amongst my favourites. I think my favourite …

Which Goldfrapp album are you?
A strange mix of Seven-Up and Headband.

Introduce Goldfrapp to your friends/family in only 20 Songs. What would you pick and why?
Well, some time ago I did post that, in my humble opinion, Goldfrapp's music is always best when it is darker and embraces a slightly more sinister feel. One place this is particularly evident is on their cover of Winter Wonderland where they s…

Nobody said they hated 7th TreeJust Happiness and possibly Caravan Girl. A bit too up beat and jolly for Goldfrapp. Not dark enough!Some People is a fantastic song though, as is Little Bird. Maybe not on here but I've seen it elsewhere and I…

Well, be confused no more Low. Old forum user Satori hated Happiness with a vengeance. He would say, every time it was played anywhere, the Devil would kill another kitten. It's just stuck in my mind now every time someone mentions the track. …

Bit of hope for you guys, mine finally arrived this morning.Sure there was practically no surprise opening it as it was mostly all spoiled for me since the weekend anyway but at least it's finally here.Wait, that's a bit of a lie. I didn&#…

No offense but it's absolutely not abnormal to receive a preorder late. I don't think I've ever received a preorder from any band/artist on the date of release, not only from musicglue, but from any preorder service. I've always…

Mine hasn't arrived either. Earliest it will come is Monday, 3 days after the bloody release date. I'm not normally a complaint type of person but honestly, they had 2 months to sort this out. Why is that so hard?

Do I listen to my download today and celebrate release day and hope my vinyl comes tomorrow morning or do I just keep waiting?

If you thought that The Artsdesk review was pretentious twaddle,then this from 'Loud & Quiet' (nope,never heard of 'em) is in another dimension of crap reviews.Gave Silver Eye 4/10. http://www.loudandquiet.com/reviews/goldfrapp-…

Most reviewers are damaged personalities IMHO who do that job because they cannot hack anything else. Like smallpox, should be kept in an airtight container in a secure facility somewhere. Brutal but staggeringly true

I feel like if she experienced hecklers, a fight and song interruptions even just a few years ago her reaction would have been very different :P

Beautiful, but really needs an extended version in my opinion. Feels like a demo, the way it's organized. Of course, that's not to say it isn't a gorgeous, lush and swirling track, but it really does deserve another chorus and verse. …
