HMV Review

Though her collaborations with Tricky, Orbital, and Add N To X focused on the sheer beauty and power of her singing, on her debut album Felt Mountain Allison Goldfrapp also explores more straightforward styles. Together with composer/multi-instrumentalist Will Gregory, Goldfrapp wraps her unearthly voice around songs that borrow from '60s pop, cabaret, folk, and electronica without sounding derivative or unfocused. From the sci-fi/spy film hybrids Human and Lovely Head to the title track's icy purity, the duo strikes a wide variety of poses, giving Felt Mountain a stylized, theatrical feel that never veers into campiness. Though longtime fans of Goldfrapp's voice may wish for more the exuberant, intoxicating side of her sound, lovelorn ballads like Pilots, Deer Stop, and Horse's Tears prove that she is equally able at carrying -- and writing -- more traditional tunes. A strange and beautiful mix of the romantic, eerie, and world-weary, Felt Mountain is one of 2000's most impressive debuts. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

    '02年発表｡95年､ﾄﾘｯｷｰのﾃﾞﾋﾞｭｰ作に参加したこともあるｱﾘｿﾝとｺﾝﾎﾟｰｻﾞｰ､ｳｨﾙ･ｸﾞﾚｺﾞﾘｰによるﾕﾆｯﾄ｡彼女の欧州的な耽美性を打ち出したﾎﾞｰｶﾙが､2002年にどこまで通用するかに挑んだようなｴﾚｸﾄﾛ･ｻｳﾝﾄﾞ｡MUTEﾚｰﾍﾞﾙの､相変わらずの商魂ｾﾞﾛぶり､音本来の不思議さ･素晴らしさで勝負する姿勢が見て取れる｡O･ﾆｭｰﾄﾝ･ｼﾞｮﾝのｶﾊﾞｰも面白い｡

    　このヒリヒリした世界観、このアルバムですでに飽和状態だったんですね。次作からの方向転換もうなづけます。この作品にハマったら、なかなか抜け出せませんよ☆ジャケもかっこいい！

    何だろ？このサウンド…MUTEレーベルらしいモノだけど、何かモノクロームな映画を想像させてくれる感じが…。ひんやりしたロマンティック。マジースターがヨーロッパに活動を移し、打ち込み系になりましたって感じですな。だんだんと好きなっていきました。
