A superb album from Goldfrapps roots

Likely one of my favourite albums of all time - Felt Mountain manages to be both soothing and yet oddly eerie at the same time. An excellently layered blend of electronica and vocal come together to produce a rich musical environment.
Highlights for me include:
-Lonely Head : Surely one most people have heard at some point, an eerie calm and serene piece with haunting vocals from Alison, and a genuine classic track that will stand the test of time.
-Human : Almost like a tango in rythym, it gets the feet tapping, yet theres a dark almost seedy undertone to the song, like sitting in a moscow strip bar peering at girls through a thick cloud of smoke. Another great track
-Pilots (watching stars) - Possibly my favourite on this disc, is a touching, soft and emotionally contained song, that sends shivers down my spine every time i listen to it.
From this point on, the album maintains a consistent quality, if not quite up to the standard of the first four tracks. However in my opinion, these first tracks are worth the album alone.
One to own for sure, and a great addition to anyones collection.
