anyone out there like Goldfrapp?

don't know where they are from or much about them, but i've been loving some of their stuff lately...big beats!!

(note: Goldfrapp isn't trance)

yea, they're pretty good. I saw them live in Vancouver last year.

Most of the weird sound effects on the latest album are actually Alison Goldfrapp singing. Her voice gets really warped - kind of freaky to watch her live and hear the sounds.

i don't really know much about them...i've just recently heard some songs by them

Strict Machine
Train
Twist


and they are all fucking awesome. i just really like their style. anything you might suggest?

goldfrapp are mint, i've seen them on a couple of late nite telly programs playing live and they're very cool

Goldfrapp is more into trip hop.Something like portishead,lamb.They do more pop/rock kinda stuff in their latest album though.

Listen to their best album- felt mountain.

Lots of trippy james bond kind of tunes.

I like it-- it's very trippy and in some sense reminds me of Massive Attack.

I think Goldfrapp are really cool. First album was a despressed chillout album, and a really good one too. The second album surprisingly sounded electronic glamrock, in a good way.

Since you like Strict Machine, Train & Twist I recomend you get the album (Black Cherry). I also recomend, for all true proggers, to check Victor Calderone's remix of Strict Machine, I'm loving it these days.

*raises hand*

Felt Mountain was a gorgeous album, strangely melancholic and distant yet very warm and emotional at the same time. Still not gotten Black Cherry which is more electroclash influenced from what I've heard of it.

And don't you lot know that big beat and trip hop are swear words in 2004? Tsk Tsk

Why are big beat and trip hop swear words??!

Big beat got me into liking edm!!! Without big beat i wouldnt have discovered trance and loved it!

Trip hop makes me feel at peace after a hard days work.

Mainly cos of the way both genres went at the end of the 90s.

I dunno about the music but I love the lead singer, that foxy bitch!

You want to listen to 'Felt Mountain' first, before Black Cherry. They're different sounding albums, though both are excellent.

Posted by Sand Leaper on Jun-29-2004 16:34:



That's Allison Goldfrapp. She's from Bath in UK. I believe Will Gregory is from UK as well.

not the best picture of her, the one I saw at some outdoor beach event on Channel 4 recently had blonde hair, fishnet stockings and a fake tail with knee high boots, PHWOAR!!!!!!!!!

Trip hop is one of absolute, favorite genres !!


I've been stuck on Black Cherry lately... and "Lovely Head" is superb..
