Figured that there should be a thread for them :) Here we can discuss Seventh Tree etc.
Some news: the video for A&E will premiere in the UK on Channel 4, January 13th @ 00:05

I can't wait to see the video.
A&E is the best song on Seventh Tree IMO.

The album still has to grow on me but I can't get enough of A&E! Love that song.
Who is the E in A&E, assuming that A stands for Allison?

You asked the same question MAdLover once did.
A&E = Accident and Emergency.
;) ;) ;) :alexz:

I love "A&E" and "Monster Love." The only other tracks I kind of like are "Clowns" and "Little Bird." I can't seem to really penetrate the rest of the album as much as I can those songs - maybe with more time.
I'm glad they tried something different though.

I've not been listening too much to the new album. Now I've heard it, I kind of want to rediscover it when we get the HQ version of it. One of the great pluses of Goldfrapp's music is that it has the most gorgeous cinematic sweep to it, and I don't think we quite get that with the leak.
Am really looking forward to seeing the video. I have a feeling that it will be lovely! I'm absolutely ADORING the promo shots and artwork that we've seen so far for the album.

Beautiful av and sig Subhuman.... so happy you're on the forum too! :wub:

Lovely album. I've never bothered but this album's caught my fancy.
henZ - January 2, 2008 05:27 PM (GMT)
Yes, well, you should listen to Felt Mountain. It's even better.

Lucky Star - January 2, 2008 05:40 PM (GMT)
Caravan Girl and Happiness are the best songs besides the *glorious* A&E.
henZ - January 2, 2008 06:01 PM (GMT)
I think Caravan Girl is the low spot on the album. It's actually rather shit.

It's clear you haven't clean your ears in a while.

henZ - January 2, 2008 06:04 PM (GMT)
It's not! Mats doesn't like it, either. It's just a bit too... pop-rock. It doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album.
Mats - January 2, 2008 06:05 PM (GMT)
No really. It is a bit shitty.

They have done better stuff but the new album is still amazing.
I love Clowns, Little Bird, Happiness, A&E and Cologne Cerrone Houdini

I don't love it. I mean, the picture is nice, but just something about the text placement and general layout isn't too spectacular. Maybe it will grow on me. It does fit the mood of the album though.
Lucky Star - January 4, 2008 07:52 PM (GMT)
What awful cover :o the picture is beautiful, but everything else is just wrong.
But I can't wait to buy this anyway :alexz:

I, for one, LOVE the cover.
Mats - January 4, 2008 10:25 PM (GMT)
It's rubbish really.
Pera - January 4, 2008 10:30 PM (GMT)
nothing exceptional, but there's nothing wrong with that cover
little_bluegirl - January 4, 2008 10:34 PM (GMT)
i like the cover, the picture is great! it reminds me of record covers from the 60's/70's. it's kinda vintage, hehehe.
Jimmy Mack - January 4, 2008 10:36 PM (GMT)
The cover is ... alright. I think it will look better in the context of the album artwork as a whole, not just as a single image. I have seen better images from this photo session than the picture they've used ... but it's quite striking, which is what some said about the sleeve of "COADF" - it was the best selection because it stood out the most.
They've obviously gone for a 70s vibe for the entire project. And this sleeve looks like it could have come straight from that era.

It really does. It's gorgeous.
It's very Twiggy goes music.
bulletproof_heart - January 4, 2008 11:09 PM (GMT)
Wow the cover looks like it's time travelled from the 70s! I adore the hazey, autumn colours - so reflective of the album!
She looks a bit.... stretched though :unsure:

Exactly. It looks so *right* for this project. Very vintage indeed.
bulletproof_heart - January 4, 2008 11:18 PM (GMT)
Her outfit too..... beautiful
I remember when I first heard the album I had a Wicker Man image in my head - not the murdering of an innocent man, the scenery and feel of the sleepy island! All done so well and its so classy :D
