Goldfrapp Seventh Tree

I can hear my mother's therapist echoing in my ear "You have a choice. You always have a choice." I'm just sick of the sound of weeping women, you know?

Anyway, it's ALL ABOUT the moment in Little Bird about 2.40 where the looping melotron goes all psychedelic and the drums kick in with the bassline and she starts singing JULY LIE LIE LIEE LAAA LAAAA LAA and extemporising the riff and I get shivers down my spine and want to throw my head back and dance about a maypole or something.

It's like they took one of those fake Chemical Bros Beatles riffs and turned it inside out and made it amazing.

(And it's funny, I've spent so much time listening to the BTWS remix of Happiness that it's weird to hear the original and realise that it's not actually about happiness at all, really - it's about being sucked into a Cult!)

Clowns is the only song from this that I ever feel compelled to listen to.

I kind of agree with this: "it makes me feel a bit "Grown Up" to listen to it". There would have been a time when I'd have been unable to listen to it. It sounded nice this morning, accompanying the walk up the lane to the bus stop ...

The song that sounds most like Felt Mountain here is "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" and it is spectacular. I'm surprised it doesn't get more mentions.

Completely agree that it's a "grown up" album, but it's aged remarkably well.
