this is my fav at the moment. i cant seem to get enough of it. when i was 20 i was working in a major nightclub in my city. this takes me back to that in the best kind of way. its nostalgic but its sophisticated.

this an extended remix by another dj, the album cut is a lot more compact, and it works better. i would have liked to post the album cut, but this isnt terrible at all, its just not as succinct, and that takes some of the punch out of it. that phenomenal vocal ad libbing isnt right until the end and by that time youre kind of bored, its too drawn out.
i never paid attention to this track until recently. one of the things i like about listening to her albums is that there are tracks i get really caught up in, and i just listen to them over and over again, and i think "why cant all the other songs on the album be as good as this one, all the other songs are so crap." but then later i somehow end up listening to the other tracks and thinking they are even more awesome.
i love Goldfrapp. when i was much younger, i think in my late teens, i discovered Felt Mountain through browsing on allmusic, and i became obsessed with it. for a long time after that, as i listened to later albums, i went off her because i thought her music was really camp and just too disco, and i was embarrassed to appreciate something so overtly camp. now i just dont care whether its camp or not anymore, because its too good to worry about that. she made me appreciate disco. i feel like she can do anything anyone else has done in disco or pop, but she can do it better, i always feel like everything is better in the world of Goldfrapp. although its very synthetic, everything is so coherent that it seems natural. she (i mean "they" - her and Will Gregory) made an album called "Supernature" and thats what i think of.
