Tracking Down the Frapp
I wish her and Will would have a blast making an album of retooled unreleased tracks. "Wicker Tune" has always fascinated me (though I bet it became a 7T track), and I haven't even heard of "Telegraph Poles", "Blessing&…

New Fan
A most sincere hello hello and welcome to you. You've stumbled upon our little pocket of otherworldliness at a wonderful time — typically this place can be quite silent during periods between album eras, so you'll get to experience the (sy…

Era 7 Interviews
I like how they've described it as being both electronic like SN & BC, but also mythical and otherworldly like 7T & FM. Sounds like the ultimate 'Frapp album to me... That's exactly what you're going to get, rest assure…

Silver Eye tour - first hints
So New York and perhaps L.A. Canada misses out yet again. Yay. I know she wants to come here again, so hopefully they actually bring the tour over. They have seriously not been here since the Seventh Tree tour - almost an entire decade. It's ut…

and the $$$ i WOULD pay for that felt mountain LITTLE BOOK I felt the same way about that extremely rare little piece of art. Set me back $150 CDN, but I have no regrets. Mint condition, and it's just gorgeous.

No, I haven't. I've heard a minute from each track, so the tracks could change and evolve as they go along. That being said, it feels like Systemagic in particular won't stray too far from the very radio-friendly formula it has going …

@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 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…

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…

What are you listening to now?
It's like the approach they should have taken with Anymore's video, in my opinion. Androgenic? Check!Desert? Check!Slick production and awesome song? Check! Can NOT wait to see these guys again with Garbage when they all hit Toronto this …

The day I stop trying to be polite and respectful to others on here is the day I stop bothering with the forum.Not letting this turn into anything akin to my experience with the Madonna forums (a vicious, dramatic nightmare of a place if I've e…

it's a stomper...same with Ocean 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 …

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…

Just had to listen to that again - gorgeous track. A bit like this...... Would fit in gorgeously with the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, and I mean that with utmost respect. Sublime and otherworldly.

Agreed. You guys are going to want to hear this album in as high of quality as possible, believe me.It's got an extremely high level of polish and quality control. It isn't suffocated by synths, but rather is sonically designed in a way to…

I completely agree. This era and the ones after it are going to be very interesting. I'll always love and respect those two and their journey.

Wow. Quite literally the first Goldfrapp video I could not stand. I honestly can't bear to watch it all the way through again, and that hurts! I want to like it, I really do. However, it just rubs me the wrong way and repeated views and attempt…

Not to be rude, but why is this getting discussed in the Silver Eye album thread As I said already, sorry to derail the thread. Moving on.

Ahaha at "homosexy" =)) ! Speaking of Madonna (mind you, this is coming from one of her biggest fans, like I'm surprised I don't have a giant tattoo of her across my back), I like to pretend Confessions was her last album (her b…

I like M when she's not trying to be "edgy", a.k.a wearing grills and dry-humping strippers wearing nun habits. Witnessing that Rebel Heart tour in person was something else... and it felt the whole time like she was screaming for att…

@Slippage - If you had said MDNA, or perhaps some of Rebel Heart we might have been onto something. There's actually quite a bit of MDNA and RH that I love (Inside Out, Ghosttown, Falling Free, etc.). I actually saw M on the RH tour in Toronto…

Hey, I never said you weren't allowed to call it what you want but doing so on a 1 minute snippet always seems a bit pointless to me. >:D< Maybe the songs just explode near the end, we don't know. And won't hopefully until the …

Off-topic, but out of interest, what Madonna songs are in question here? :P Oh, there's no way I'll let that slip out! Lol. I've been sent enough insult-laden messages in all-caps over it. I will say that Confessions and Ray of Light…

Calling a Goldfrapp track is utterly horrible is like accusing somebody of murder. You have to be really, really sure that's it's true and tbh it's probably not. well i didn't like 'anymore' when i heard the clip yet s…

I agree with what everyone's saying. Frankly, the snippets are now out there and will endlessly leak regardless. Still, I hope my sharing them won't be frowned upon! If you don't want to hear, then just ignore it and don't listen…

For those curious to what 'Tigerman' sounds a bit like without hearing it, here's a 14 Y/O track from Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness to hint to you :P Yep. Pretty much exactly that. I hope people aren't mad that I shared the sni…

Oh, we'll get remixes. I'm sure of it. Every era has had them.Maybe we'll get multiple EPs akin to BC and SN eras that also include a B-Side (oh, how I miss those delicious B-Sides). Would be an awesome way to sell the album further..…

Has anyone caught a glimpse at the view count for "Anymore" on Youtube? It's nearly 200,000 in just over 24 hours. Will probably hit or exceed it by tomorrow morning.When that video drops (and hopefully soon), it could be HUGE.
