T radition dictates that a sombre, atmospheric Goldfrapp album is followed by a return to the dancefloor. It also dictates that Goldfrapp are unpredictable, and although Silver Eye is much more upbeat than Tales Of Us, it takes the essence of the group and presents it through a different prism than previous work.

The music is fantastic, it exudes this angellic, fairytaley feel, but it's never an immature kind of fairytale, that's what makes it a beautiful experience. The lyrics are also excellent, romantic and funny at times, solidifying the duo as not only great musicians, but also great lyricists. Supernature was Goldfrapp’s breakthrough album and defined Alison as a leading exponent of ‘pervtronica’ (especially when dressed as some kind of dominatrix and attempting to have sex with a theremin). The sound of the album was so influential that even pop poppet Rachel Stevens made a Goldfrapp-soundalike single with Some Girls.Using an acoustic guitar for the first time proved to signal a major change in the material, indicating a more organic feel, structurally and sound-wise.

Alison Goldfrapp (singer and frontwoman) says that the album's lyrics and production were inspired by "surreal English children's books" (who the hell thinks of that? damn!). I think that's genius, specially because I had no idea until I actually decided to find out more about this album on the internet. And to me that's further proof that Goldfrapp were always artists with minds of their own, and thank the universe that they found a place and time to come up with Seventh Tree.

The release of Seventh Tree is one of those situations where a record label is forced to wear that uneasy smile, immensely proud of supporting an artist with that much integrity, but weeping deep down inside, worrying about the certainty of lower sales figures. Equally odd for Mute Records to have to deal with is just how severely Goldfrapp has changed direction on its fourth disc. No contagious dance beats? No blunt come-ons? Acoustic guitar? Mellotron?

However, anyone expecting a velvet goldmine of 70s pastiches and glam-pop floorfillers on Supernature may have been surprised once they got beyond lead single and album opener Ooh La La. Another three years would follow until Goldfrapp delivered their sixth LP Tales of Us. A part-album, part-multimedia project in collaboration with filmmaker Lisa Gunning, it saw the duo revive the ambient, cinematic style of Felt Mountain to much acclaim. In the UK, it landed the group their fourth consecutive Top 10 album.IMO this is more fun to have than LP that sounds almost identical to cd version and has only cosmetic advantages or disadvantages. This one gives you completely different sounding album. co-producer 3, 5-7, 9, assistant producer 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, mixing engineer 7, 9, keyboards 3, 7, 9, guitar 7 Other highlights are Become The One, which was inspired by a documentary about a transgender girl and delicately explores the notion of identity, and Faux Suede Drifter which revives the moody atmospherics of Felt Mountain.

Despite earning their most commercial success with a synth-inflected electronic sound, Goldfrapp largely eschewed electro pop for 2008's Seventh Tree in favour of a more subtle, pastoral folk-inspired sound. The album followed its predecessor to UK No. 2 and sold more than 200,000 copies domestically, producing Goldfrapp's third Top 10 hit, " A&E." It also provided the duo with their first Top 50 album in the US.
