Biography

Sex, subversion, style, humour, songs: great pop music's greatest components. And Goldfrapp have always known it.

Through pioneering electronics, crystalline vocals, visual theatrics and glam-sex decadence, they've moved through the ambient shadows into the technicolour thrill that is the hallmark of classic British pop music. After 'Felt Mountain' (2000), their glacial, Mercury Award nominated… Read more in Amazon's Goldfrapp Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You might expect the debut album from a woman who has collaborated extensively with Tricky and Orbital to be both wondrous and strange--and you'd be right to. What you might not expect is quite the depth of Alison Goldfrapp's beguiling, distracting 21st-Century noir visions on Felt Mountain. She and her fellow composer Will Gregory can mix in Brechtian cabaret, classical instrumentation, left-of-field electronics, decadent Gainsbourg-style French pop and the odd piece of whistling on just one track ("Felt Mountain"). "Oompa Radar" almost reaches Tom Waits heights of infamy, the way familiar instruments come together in such a simultaneously comforting and alienating style. The baroque "Paper Bag", meanwhile, uncannily recalls Joe Meek's toytown visions of 1960's grandeur. All this, and a seductive vocal to die for. --Everett True

5.0 out of 5 stars lush, 10 July 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Felt Mountain (Audio CD)
It was lucky that when I heard this (samples, off this site) I was listening out for some different music to my usual diet of not very subtle rock or I might not have been so receptive of the extraordinary splicing of two very different styles. As far as I know, bluesy, Billy Holiday-esque vocals have never been splashed across a background of Morricone-esque electronica before. Even more surprising is how wonderfully it works, creating an atmosphere of cool euphoria akin to some of Radiohead's work (I'm thinking Subterranean Homesick Alien or Kid A here). Not surprising considering the supposed main inspiration for O.k Computer was Morricone. Although sometimes the singing occasionally borders on schmaltzy, it never actually crosses that line because of the harsh wall of noise behind it, which offsets the smoothness, providing a balance. Admittedly, on pilots, as some other reviewers have pointed out, it gets a bit thin, but this is really the only criticism I can offer. After only hearing the SAMPLES, I voted it the fifth greatest album of the last fifteen years in a poll Q magazine are running at the moment and spent the next two days agonizing because I had no opportunity to get myself a copy of the album. So now I've got one, yes, it is one of my very favourite albums ( and I have a lot). I would recommend it to everyone, only I'm aware that most so-called lovers of music seem to set themselves fixed musical parameters and aren't open minded enough to embrace anything as unusual as this. Forget the random screaming that, these days, gets called alternative music, this is the real alternative and to like it, an open mind is needed. But then thats true for most of the best music. By the way, it isn't recommended for any recently berieved people. It wouldn't cheer them up, put it that way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Magnificent soundscape experience!, 19 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Felt Mountain (Audio CD)
Having seen the single video release of "Utopia" I went out and purchased this highly anticipated album immediately and was rewarded with a fantastic piece of musical bliss, not unsimilar to 'Hooverphonic" GOLDFRAPP use powerful epic orchestrations mixed with the lush hauntingly beautiful vocals from Alison Goldfrapp and brilliant electronic wizardry from Will Gregory, GOLDFRAPP soar with their mix of rich harmonies , weird french pop sensibilities,violins, wonderful percussion additives and breathtaking whistling (yes its true!) plus much more! standout tracks 'Pilots' 'Paper Bag' and 'Utopia' leave you breathless, all this and GOLDFRAPP obtain an uncanny ability to transport the listener in a utopian world filled with epic vistas,glass waterfalls, blue elephants and eclectic eclectronic brainwashing - surely the 8th wonder of the world, a fantastic debut, if you like water, food and breathing then you will love this album ,a must have and worthy of ****** six stars

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Sonically potent' and magical, 19 Feb 2006
This review is from: Felt Mountain (Audio CD)
I had never heard of Goldfrapp before their 'Ooh La La' single release, I had heard their name popped around, but never knew exactly who they were. My sister bought me their 3rd album 'Supernature' this Christmas and I really enjoyed their upbeat, disco and dance/electronic sound, I was curious to find out what other albums they had released. I came across this album and read all of the reviews and was captivated just by reading them through, people couldn't explain this albums sound and were mesemerised by it's melodic beauty. I bought this alongside their 2nd release 'Black Cherry' just yesterday and am totally enchanted by the songs and Alison Goldfrapps gorgeous vocals enveloping all of the songs. Stand out tracks for me are: 'Lovely Head, 'Human', 'Pilots' and 'Utopia', the others are also gorgeous, I'll have to give them all another listen and I'm sure they will also become my favourites! It is true what another reviewer has said, you may be scared to try such a different style from what you like, but I'm sure this album could have a place in anyones heart, roll on their 4th album!
