Hello again everyone!

Belated New Year greetings, we thought we'd start 2010 by sharing some
lovely news with you.

We wanted you to be among the first to see the sleeve for Goldfrapp's brand
new single Rocket (if you've not seen the album sleeve yet, you should be
reading Alison's blog more often...)





The new album Head First is released in March - and we're excited to
confirm that the final tracklisting / sequence will be:

1. Rocket
2. Believer
3. Alive
4. Dreaming
5. Head First
6. Hunt
7. Shiny And Warm
8. I Wanna Life
9. Voicething

And finally, if you're in the UK, be sure to listen in to Jo Whiley's Radio
1 show this coming Saturday, 23rd January between 1pm and 4pm to hear the
exclusive first official radio play of Rocket!

=0P

So exciting!

But not a big fan of Rocket, its like Journey mixed with Hall & Oates.
I hoped it would be a much darker album. Kind of like their first.

I can hear Journey in the track with the cheesy synths, but not Hall & Oates.

Felt Mountain is actually my least favorite Goldfrapp record.

I hear a bit of Private Eyes and Man Eater.

And "Gloria" Laura Branigan.

Felt Mountain is to me an exceptional album for a pop act.

rushing07 said:

"Private Eyes" - I can hear a similarity there, true. And "Gloria" I mentioned in the first post.

I love Goldfrapp but I was expecting something else.

There were rumors about this sound for the new era:

Pretty amazing videos too.

Goldfrapp Blast Off To The ’80s With New Single “Rocket”



By Robbie Daw at 8:06 AM on Fri Jan 22 2010

Goldfrapp’s new song “Rocket” has finally surfaced, and like the Atari-at-the-discotheque art for the single sleeve, the tune itself is full of tubular ’80s radness.

Mute Records promised the duo’s new album Head First would be their “most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance.” They failed to mention it would also sound like the Pointer Sisters! Head below the jump to hear “Rocket.”

“Oh-oh-oh, I got a rocket, oh-oh-oh, you’re goin’ on it,” sings Alison Goldfrapp in the chorus to “Rocket.” Sexual innuendo and synthesizers—always the perfect pop combo!

The band have yet to post any new info on “Rocket” on their blog, though Alison wrote the following (in all lower case) in December: “i was told by a duo who make websites that doing band websites are completely pointless these days. apparently no one visits them regularly because you can get so much info from so many other places? what do you reckon?”

We reckon they need to take a spin on Alison’s rocket.

Just got the email from Alison today:



So I listened to the single "Rocket" online and I first thought ABBA! but there's also a lot of Laura Brannigan's "Gloria" in there too.

Not a bad thing I think.

I can not sit through some of their videos, and struggle through half their songs.

When they're good, they're good. But mostly, I just get trigger happy with the iPod click-wheel.

Now that I made the thread title more org-friendly, watch the replies stack up!

ROCKET:

Orgers are sleepin' on Goldfrapp. Maybe if I changed the thread title to something more in tune with what orgers like, it will get more traffic.
