i straight up ADORE it! i was SO lucky to find the set in Japan a summer ago. Here is what i wrote nearly a year ago:
Can't get enough
Of this sultry stuff
Goldfrapp's
Tales Of Us keeps calling me back
In addition to "ethereal" (from my earlier post), seductive, haunting, intimate, lush, breathtaking, sensual, captivating, . . . come to mind. Ima be listening to these noir character sketches for quite some time!
a search of previous postings reveals that @beerking digs it:
A totally beautiful album.....just right to unwind with, before I hit the sack.
Now this one is a totally different experience to me listening devices.
Completely delightlful
You know when you like a record ..now on it's third play!!
Afraid not!! It's their 2013 release Tales of Us.
Which, imo, is completely brilliant.
as does @kap'n krunch:
GOLDFRAPP
TALES OF US
...rainy dusk in the Mile High city.. great soundtrack...
Sounds really good, the strings mostly in the rears and a submersive mix... there's a happy camper here ...this calls for a dancing banana
The mix is REALLY REALLY GOOD...totally enveloping (very different from the "unorthodox yet effective" Supernature SACD/DTS mix), Orchestra is all around you, some voices panning around here and there...VERY elegant...
there are others who also enjoy, but i'm hoping you get the picture! FULL DISCLOSURE: my wife most decidedly does NOT enjoy it; she finds Alison Goldfrapp's breathy vocals affected. C'est la vie; c'est le mariage!
