Free Music Notes for Seventh Tree (Deluxe Edition)
Free Music Review: Just let it take you...
Hit: 5 Stars
Since the actual music seems already to have been discussed to death here, all I can really say is, put it on and just enjoy it ... and if it takes you somewhere go along. Other than that, the Deluxe edition of Seventh Tree is definitely worth buying over the standard CD, maybe for the little lyrics booklet included alone, with the DVD and poster making it all the better, not to mention the good-quality box it all comes in. Especially if you're already a Goldfrapp fan. Free Music Review: Alison?
Hit: 3 Stars
I was really shocked when I first listened to this album. It was like wanting to see a hardcore porn and getting stuck with softcore instead. The album is good, because Goldfrapp is an excellent musician but it is better suited to be background music rather than the best track on your dance party mix like "Strict Machine," or "Slide In" were. I could swear that in some parts I thought I was listening to Enya, my worst nightmare.Free Music Review: good, not great
Hit: 3 Stars
Seventh Tree is a return to the softer, more atmospheric incarnation of Goldfrapp. It's all good weekend morning listening music, but does not challenge your emotions like SuperNature. I do like the single A&E - but little else stands out.
Fans of early Goldfrapp will like this album...
Free Music Review: A Beautiful Album
Hit: 5 Stars
Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have been known for their arty, strange visuals and dramatics since their release in 2003 titled Black Cherry,. It had images of wolves' heads with Goldfrapps' sexy "pin-up girl" image. Then there was Supernature, both albums good with their eclectic/glam/disco alternative style of music. Now here's album four, so you have to wonder what is she going to do next?
You open the inside and you'll see Alison holding a giant owl suit and under the CD tray there is a drawing of an owl head on a human body. I guess she may have picked an owl because they are nocturnal and solitary and the music on this album is dark and moody, owl like. It's the type of music to play on lonely nights, when you can lose yourself into the songs. It's a softer, dreamier and poppy album, way different from her prior releases.
The album opens with "Clowns", a soft finger-picked melody of a song, very atmospheric. "Little Bird" is more energetic, with a driving chorus and neat electronic sounds. Overall this is a beautiful album, showing a more mature side of Alison Goldfrapp.
Free Music Review: Seventh Tree is Mesmerizing Psychedelic Folktronica.
Hit: 5 Stars
Alison Goldfrapp has come a long way musically from her infamous art school performance at Middlesex University, during which she milked a cow while yodeling, to her most recent albums Felt Mountain and Supernature. I recently discovered her truly amazing fourth album, Seventh Tree, on a trip to Paris. (Goldfrapp is actually the British electronica duo, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory.) It is tempting to compare Goldfrapp to the likes of Kate Bush, Nick Drake, PJ Harvey, Serge Gainsbourg, or the Cocteau Twins. Seventh Tree is a sensual, 60s retro fusion of electro-hippie-chill (psychedelic folktronica?), featuring Alison Goldfrapp's ethereal and mesmerizing vocals. This album is beautiful and tres cool. The ten album tracks include:
1. Clowns
2. Little Bird
3. Happiness
4. Road to Somewhere
5. Eat Yourself
6. Some People
7. A & E
8. Cologne Cerrone Houdini
9. Caravan Girl
10. Monster Love
