Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Felt MountainFree Music Review: UtopiaI first discovered Goldfrapp six, seven years ago on a now defunct music cable show. My curiousity was immediately piqued when I heard the beautiful melodies coupled with Allison Goldfrapp's fragile vocals. As much as I like Goldfrapp's current music, FELT MOUNTAIN remains my personal favorite Goldfrapp album of all time. The music is a mix of trip hop, classical, and jazz music. FELT MOUNTAIN sounds like it is the film score to an early James Bond film. One of my favorite songs on the album is "Human". It would be impossible to not hear the Shirley Bassey comparison in Allison's vocals on this particular track. Allison does a superior job over Amy Winehouse when it comes to channeling Shirley Bassey. Another favorite track is "Paper Bag" with the sparse melodies and Allison's delicate vocals. I like how subtle the trip hop beats are subtle and never takes over the song through out the entire album. Will Gregory allows Allison's vocals to take front and center. Unlike a lot of pop singers today, Allison never pounds the listener with her vocals. I can't believe it has been eight years since FELT MOUNTAIN has come out. The music still sounds fresh and new as the first time I listened to the album several years ago. |
