Goldfrapp - Silver Eye

[Sweet Music]

Yeah, the original album cover is my least favorite of theirs by far. The deluxe is a massive improvement, but I'm not going to drop hard earned cash on an album with rather garbage bonus cuts.

I feel the opposite, the new cover is one of my least favourite Goldfrapp pictures. The original album cover is 1000x better.

I like the new artwork, but...
The original album artwork is way better and the album itself was one of the best of that year for me.
I just don't really see the point of this re-release at all.

Here's the Q&A:

That was a little too boring to view. Did she actually reveal anything of any interest?

 

[wodny]

The packaging is attractive... but content wise it could have been so much more.

Yeah, usually deluxe versions have more album tracks. I am sorry but I do not want some remixes or a new version of an existing track. I still can't believe that there is no new song on this new release.

I listened to the bonus disc last night and got as far as the 4th track before I turned it off. I’m glad to finally own the album on CD though. They really seem to be pushing this release.

Not really, no. She actually told the strap-on horsetail story AGAIN nn

Here's the Q&A:

I thought this was Mary Queen of Shops for a second.

 

[Moonlight]

I love them so much, but for some reason this flopfrapp reissue has made me feel like stepping off the train. Can I stop, oh, off the train?

 

[ModeRed]

I never really got appreciated Silver Eye that much, but the reissue has me reappraising it and for that I’m pleased.

But mainly I’m ecstatic for the version of Oceans with Dave Gahan... why is every Goldfrapp/Mode item so terrific? Their mixes of ‘A Pain that I’m used to’ and ‘Halo’ bloody wonderful too.

Can they just do a collaborative album next... if only.

I got the deluxe edition for my birthday. The bonus disc really is such a missed opportunity. There's actually nothing wrong with any of the remixes, but none of them are wildly different from the originals and because it's just the same three songs it gets very samey and hard to tell them apart.

I know the bonus disc on Felt Mountain contained previously released material too but at least there was a better range of songs and remixes.
