Well, I saw them live in Bristol, and after just one hour their Mac broke, and they played one more song acoustically, then just left, it was very disappointing. (Also, it's 'whose', not 'who's, who's is a contraction of 'who is'.
One of the best indeed with Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey 83 mezzo Soprano and a few others. Kate Bush, Tina Arena. Her voice reminds me of cristal phenomena. I adore her universe 🎉❤ greetings from France in bad English
I've loved this track dearly for 20 years, and I had a late night drinking/smoking session by the firepit with one of my oldest/best friends last night and played this around 3am thinking that he knew my musical tastes really well, and when I looked at him about halfway through he was staring at the screen with his mouth wide open and tears in his eyes, just totally mesmerised and blown away by the beauty and range of her voice... When it ended (that ending though... Wow...) he could barely speak, until he finally sputtered out "Why have I never heard this before? Play it again... PLEASE..." -So I did, and he totally lost his shit and wandered off to his bed with a weird dreamy smile on his face like he'd been hypnotised or something, and this morning he's taken his son into the city to try and find this on 12" because he's a vinyl-junkie and he needs it in his life SO frikkin bad... So excellent work Alison -your beautiful voice is still changing lives today (November 2021) and you made my bud and I very, very happy indeed...
Felt Mountain is an excellent album. Some of the lyrics are very strange("my dog needs new ears"") and the music can move from quirky, to uneasy, into uplifting and inspirational 😀
Absolutely Brilliant ! - This was the last song Goldfrapp played in their set in Brisbane, Australia in July at the Tivoli - the audience was dumbfounded pleading for more!
But , correct me if I’m wrong , it’s an anti-fascist song , no ? And it seems to be referring to the messing about with genetics and cloning , etc. . That we’ve been told had stopped at the end of WWll but of course never even slowed down . 🔬📎
@@lisacolbert5987 You can place that interpretation on it, I suppose. To me, it's just a dadaist song with nonsensical lyrics: genius.com/Goldfrapp-utopia-lyrics
I couldn't care less about the lyrics. A lot of Goldfrapp vocals are not clear or are nonsense, but the music is just so good it does not matter to me. I think she uses a vocoder for some of the vocal stuff.
@@lisacolbert5987 yes Lisa. You got it right. She's supposedly the result of a genetic enhancement test, confused with herself. At least that's what I read at the time.
Alison said one of her ideas was to become an opera singer. Bloody fine one she would have made, but thank God she didn't go down that route or this piece of heaven would not have been made. Are the lyrics about computerisation. Automatons in control??
Listen to all her lyrics... Strict Machine, Utopia, Pilots... it's all about the potential horrors and opportunities for mankind to evolve. It's NWO stuff. It's Illuminati. But it's awesome and beautiful. It's technology enabled mankind evolved.
