New from Goldfrapp

Posted on January 7, 2012 by Mark

Alison Goldfrapp

Big things are ready to roll for Goldfrapp this year, with Melancholy Sky lighting the fuse this week and a Singles Compilation to follow in February. Currently working on a new album, which I have a sneaking suspicion will echo the best of Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree, Goldfrapp found time to slip this remix of Strict Machine through Pete Tong’s letterbox. More launch pad than rocket, it’s a bouncy mix, with stripped back vocals, aching with cool and probably their most credible visit to the dance floor yet.

Strict Machine (Jamie Jones mix)

Melancholy Sky (with a cool fan-made video to go with it)

Also released as a teaser, the sublime slow burner Yellow Halo complete with dreamy video

Check out my Vibe-O-scope to hear the original version of Strict Machine, complete with freaky video

More wonderful electric Goldfrapp goodies here, including some of my exclusive remixes.

Happy Christmas!

The original version of Goldfrapp’s Winter Wonderland sounded unfinished. I finished it with a choir, bells and big drums. Tinkerbell meets Slade. I also added extra whistling and a quote from It’s a Wonderful Life at the end. I think it’s Animal from The Muppets on drums…enjoy and have a great Christmas.

The Return of The Found Sound Orchestra

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Mark

Found Sound Orchestra

‘The Found Sound Orchestra embrace your Mum and Dad’s record collection and re-love your sisters Smash Hits flexi disc of Bucks Fizz B sides to make the type of audio cocktail better heard than explained.’

They’re back. After a five month hiatus, The Found Sound Orchestra return with a chilled and quirky tune. Explaining their absence, Kneel Mason of the FSO said, “Whoops!’ and “Erm…” This year’s 52 Weeks project has been so good that you can forgive the long silence. And it’s all free, so who’s complaining?

This is my slightly random video chart of great tunes and freaky videos. See Grace Jones stretched into something very alien or just groove with Blondie. From Lemon Jelly’s demonic kaleidoscope to Goldfrapp’s bizarre animations, it’s a trip.
