- Indispensable Album
I've left reviewing this for nine months and literally hundreds of listens. I don't believe that there's ever been another album I've played so often. And there's no sign of my growing tired of it. On the basis of a huge number of plays, I feel qualified to say that this is a truly wonderful album without a single weak track.
After seeing Goldfrapp on two consecutive nights (at Brixton) in November 2008, I couldn't bear to listen to anything other than Goldfrapp. Naturally, I gave their previous three albums fresh listens, as well as Seventh Tree. I was struck by the degree of continuity between the four albums. Some people will tell you that Seventh Tree is quite different from what went before. I no longer think that's true, the four albums mark a natural progression, although one could not have predicted that progression in advance. They -- all four albums -- are continuously Goldfrapp, golden music pouring from the finest band in the world.

- Back On Form
If, like me, you're one of those people who was blown away by Felt Mountain but disappointed by what came after then Seventh Tree may give you cause to rejoice.
Although a very different beast to FM this album shares the same quirky, sensual and exotic oddness as Goldfrapp's remarkable debut. The main difference between the two is mood - FM was frequently quite dark (and in the case of Deer Stop, downright creepy) but Seventh Tree is a long summer's day to Felt Moutain's eerie twilight.
Goldfrapp obviously don't mind annoying their fans - having thoroughly cheesed-off many Felt Moutain lovers (including me) by going off in a wildly differnt direction for their next two albums they've now annoyed some of the fans of those albums by abandoning the dance-orientated electronica in favour of something altogether more subtle and bewitching. Heaven knows where they'll go next.
Rating: - 5 stars for 'Cologne Cerrone Houdini' alone.....
I seem to have been lost in Goldfrapp land for the last few months!
I couldn't seem to stop playing the live version of 'Strict Machine at Glastonbury' on YouTube along with 'Train' and others....then I downloaded this.
Don't worry, I read all the reviews on Amazon first and I think the considered opinion on here is correct. Which is, no it is nothing like 'Black Cherry'. It is very subtle and growing. There is none of Alison the cool as fuck disco diva, (which like I say, I'm a fan of). But this is very cool in a very different way. As she sings in 'Road To Somewhere':
'bring it on, come along, on the road to somewhere...take our time, see the sights, on the road to somewhere...'
When Alison Goldfrapp invites you to chill with her on a blissful drive, how can you NOT go along for the ride?
I have to say right now, 'Cologne Cerrone Houdini' will definitely be one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear, so that gets 5 stars alone. The singing on single 'A&E' is a good marker for the feel of the rest of the album. And when she sings 'we're here to welcome you...' on other singe 'Happiness', I can't stop myself singing it with her! Her synthesized voice is utterly unique.
The decade of partying on borrowed money is over and this album is perfect for the national come-down. It is genius.
P.S. KD Lang's 'Watershed' which has recently been released as well goes together with 'Seventh Tree' like a cup of tea and Digestive Biccy's! Perfection.
Rating: - David Lo Pan
Ok for people that know the film Big Trouble in Little China would you agree that Goldfrapp are a lot like David Lo Pan. Let me explain - one part of them is interesting music and is quite orchestral and the other half is this rubbish glam disco. So basically two different sides.
So for the people that enjoyed Felt Mountain this album is very similar. Quite orchestral in the construction but they have took influence from their dabble in electronic. The result is quite spectacular.
So for a musical intellect it is definitely worth an inspection. For the less intellectual that crave electro pop then go elsewhere.
Rating: - Astounding
This is why, when captive on an aeroplane, you should listen/watch different stuff. This is the most compelling new album I've heard for a while - keep listening to it, and discovering new depths. It's clever, simultaneously retro and bang up to date, and quite fascinating. Remarkable.
