Felt Mountain is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo Goldfrapp. It was released on 11 September 2000 by Mute Records. The album takes influence from a variety of music styles such as 1960s pop, cabaret, folk and electronica.
Felt Mountain was generally well received by music critics, and was described as "simultaneously smarmy and seductive, yet elegant and graceful". AllMusic reviewer Heather Phares referred to the album as a "strange and beautiful mix of the romantic, eerie, and world-weary" and named it "one of 2000's most impressive debuts". In 2001, the album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, an annual music prize awarded for the best British or Irish album from the previous year.
The fourth song, "Pilots", which describes travelers floating in the atmosphere above Earth, was inspired by John Barry's James Bond theme songs. (from Wikipedia)
Happy Anniversary, Felt Mountain!
"We're pilots watching stars
The world pre-occupied
We're pilots watching stars
Who do we think we are
It's just the sound
Of you and me". youtu.be/eqwrV-qzpq8

'Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, love, love
Floating in the magic world
Donate all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
We can see you troubled soul
Give us all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
Time stops still when
You've lost love
We'll be swimming in the sea
Of wisdom and serenity
Make you better'
Goldfrapp
'Magic maker, wish me one wish
Hold me to your light and maybe
Oh what if I say
Why don't we play
I'll wear your star
I shiver, you shake it
To me I can't help it
Don't know, am I dreaming
Or have you, you haven't'

'Melancholy sky
you made me blue
still hanging on
there's nothing i can do
melancholy sky
still hanging on'
Goldfrapp
'Wilder, than I've known before
Fire rushes through
Every vein
With a smile that sings
You'll be killing me tenderly
Every word is soft as fur
I'm drifting deep deeper in'

Goldfrapp are one of my favourite bands and was pleased to get tickets for this sold out intimate show at the Junction in Cambridge. This show was a warm up for their appearance at the BBC 6 Music festival in Glasgow this weekend.

'Miles and miles of sun
Endless roads, twist on
Don't wanna live a life
In a world that's all the same
The crazy little things
That you do are magical
This crazy life
This crazy world
We're living in is
Magical'
Goldfrapp
'Oh and on and on
Time, these two things
I don't want to leave
And I, and I'm only dreaming
I, and I'm only dreaming'

Audio by Goldfrapp ("Lovely Head" from Goldfrapp's first album).
Video and blog post forthcoming. In short, I made an application that would allow me to use lyrics as text elements in my visualizations. So far so good.
'Cause up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on
Turn me up
Oh child of Venus
You're just made for love
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la'
Goldfrapp
'Here I wanna be a stranger
Drift in and then out, just linger
Slow motion you fall, like a blossom
Way out there on a star, nova lazy
Life, love, just to life
Love, love, life, life
Just don't leave me here
Just don't leave me here'

"Little Bird"
She's like a little bird
She flies from a to b
To see what she can see
She's far away from me
We danced on the moon
We danced by the sea
That land of blue gold
Is where we were free
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly
Where we were free
Where we were free
The shiny blackest crow
Flew in to say hello
Though much to her surprise
He had two miles for eyes
She understood his words
That crow was very pleased
He gave to her his wings
And now she is free
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly
Now we are free
Now we are free
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly
July-ly-ly

This little birdcage was brought at a warehouse, it actually featured in Heartbeat (if anyone remembers that programme!) but Jon bought me it as a present ages ago,I love it in this window, just looks perfect, our cottage is full of little shabby chic antique items and vintage bits, what we've always liked :)
- Donde emana la vida, donde se forja el bienestar, después de recorrer caminos creo que todo el mundo merece tener y encontrar su fuente particular..Caminos vivientes que no dejan de mostrar su hermosura. Senderos frutos de nuestro propio caminar..
Entre pisadas de hojas al viento, caminando una vez más... dar calor a nuestros cuerpos, pisando hojas sin cesar..
We went to see Goldfrapp last night at Portsmouth Guildhall. What can I say? It was one of the greatest gigs I've been to. Alison Goldfrapp's voice is unbelievably good. They sang a few songs off their new album. Phill thought he had died and gone to heaven when she sang Utopia from Felt Mountain and at the end she had us all up on our feet rocking to Strict Machine. We were in the front row so right up close and personal.
I had my little point and shoot and managed to get a few shots off but lighting, dry ice and my excitement meant the quality isn't brilliant. If I could see it all again tonight I would!
If you want to know what they sound like and have the time, have a listen
