Goldfrapp - The Singles

Goldfrapp - The Singles (2012)
Mute

This is a nice collection of Goldfrapp's singles, plus two previously unreleased bonus tracks. I would've preferred a best of collection instead of a singles sampler. But at least this CD features some of the best Goldfrapp songs. The album shows a great deal of variation, from the spaced out sounds of their 2000 debute "Felt Mountain" via the electroclash (btw, what happened to that genre?) inspired "Black Cherry" (2003) and "Supernature" (2005) and the almost hippie-esque "Seventh Tree" (2008) to the 80'ies sounding "Head First" from 2010.

Golfrapps fifth album is a nice trip back to the eighties. I hear ABBA, Moroder and all kinds of disco. Nice blending! They seem to grown tired of the electroclash on the "Supernature" and "Black Cherry" albums. I liked that style, but I think I like this even more. This album is almost as good as their first album "Felt Mountain". Check it ut - and especially the track "Shiny And Warm".
