'A&E' for the way the song comes crashing back in after the break at 2:15.

― 2018 has to be better (snoball), Saturday, 6 January 2018 23:50 (seven years ago)

'A&E' for the way the song comes crashing back in after the break at 2:15.

― 2018 has to be better (snoball)

I could not agree more. That is one of my favourite moments in music and I think it's the best song they've done.

Yeah A&E is a stunner

“caravan girl”

― monotony, Sunday, 7 January 2018 04:39 (seven years ago)

Voting Clowns because it’s such a great start to the album and it’s been stuck in my head for nigh on a decade

― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Sunday, 7 January 2018 06:09 (seven years ago)

I love that album so much, it might be my favorite of theirs. "A&E" could be it, but I will re-listen before deciding.

Clowns

Clowns

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 7 January 2018 07:15 (seven years ago)

Yeah Clowns in gorgeous.

This is my least favourite of what I think of as their 'quiet trilogy' (completed by Felt Mountain and Tales of Us)

― chap, Sunday, 7 January 2018 10:57 (seven years ago)

Some People is very beautiful as well.

CLOWNS

'Caravan Girl' is all-time, but this is far from my favourite Goldfrapp album.

I've got a vague memory of starting a Best Goldfrapp Album poll, but search isn't turning anything up.

― chap, Monday, 8 January 2018 17:14 (seven years ago)

Tales of us stands out to me as their finest, and this comes from someone who never thought felt mountain would be bettered

― kolakube (Ross), Monday, 8 January 2018 21:11 (seven years ago)

xp yeah we seem to have had a 'best album' type discussion on every Goldfrapp thread but no actual dedicated one. weird. there are A LOT of threads too.

― piscesx, Monday, 8 January 2018 22:10 (seven years ago)

Happy to start one after this poll runs its course. I really couldn't predict the winner.

― chap, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:06 (seven years ago)

For me, it would be Supernature all the way!

― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 17:04 (seven years ago)

No need to hold the poll now.

― Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 17:38 (seven years ago)

the two answers here are actually "Happiness" and "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" though

― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 18:43 (seven years ago)

"Clowns" would be in contention were it not impossible to take serious a floaty meditative pastoral song whose central lyric is "only clowns would play with those balloons"

― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 18:45 (seven years ago)

I loved their stage presentation during this era.

― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 18:51 (seven years ago)

The swirls and swipes around "Cologne Cerrone Houdini"'s chorus gets my vote.

In a video interview with Blender, Alison Goldfrapp explained the lyrics (for Clowns):

Its about tits, basically. Fake tits. (…) I just happened to be watching a lot of trashy TV at the time and it seemed like every programme had a lady with huge, fake tits, and it’s slightly disturbing.

On Vanity Fair, she clarified:

It’s not a criticism. It’s just an observation.

the electric proms performances from this era are great
