Biography

"It's got more of a round feeling, wouldn't you say? Not so spiky." Alison Goldfrapp gazes into the middle-distance and squints - as if to do so would allow her to better describe what she sees when she thinks about Goldfrapp's self-produced fifth album Head First. Sitting next to her, rather earlier in the morning than either would have liked, is her right-hand man Will Gregory. He runs a hand… Read more in Amazon's Goldfrapp Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Calderone mix a keeper!, July 27, 2004
By 
Doctor Trance (MA, United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Strict Machine (Audio CD)
In my opinion, the original track is just barely above average, as it's a little too slow, fluffy, and cheesy for my dance liking. However, add Victor Calderone's tribal funk energy collaboration with Suryanto and this becomes one of the best dance tracks of '04. You must get this single, as I believe the imports might not have the Calderone version, and this is the one to have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great mixes - standout B-side, May 28, 2004
By 
Jack Foster (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strict Machine (Audio CD)
Strict Machine was arguably the best dance track off Black Cherry, (no small feat considering this is also the album that spawned "Twist" and the infectious "Train") very disco-era Blondie with a vicious bass line. Comprising all the mixes from the 2 version import singles this is definitely the most value for the money.
The mixes are sharp but the real standout is "White Soft Rope" an unreleased B-side. Just as "Utopia" nodded to Fritz Lang's Metropolis "White Soft Rope" winks at "The Midwich Cukoos" (Village of the Damned here in the states - or check out the Midwich entry here on Amazon.com if not familiar). Personally I love Goldfrapp's inclusion of schlocky subject matter and the "Midwich Children's Choir" is good fun. Definitely worth the price of the single, and the lush, live "Hairy Trees" is exquisite, more like a mix, hard to believe it's live.

1.0 out of 5 stars Strict Machine Remixes, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Strict Machine (Audio CD)
Strict machine is my favourite Goldfrapp track and for this reason I searched out all the remixes to get extended versions looking for more of what I liked. Sadly the remixes on this CD all miss the key element of the track which makes the original so good: the base line. If this is not what floats your boat about Strict Machine then you might like the remixes. For me it makes this CD a disappointment and a missed opportunity
