Pop Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) http://www.mediafire.com/?jitmzsody1d Allmusic has nothing to say on this one. and http://www.mediafire.com/?ddxv0vm5tmf After spending years on the dancefloor with Black Cherry and Supernature, Goldfrapp takes a breather with The Seventh Tree. Allison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory slow down the beats and break out the acoustic guitars on a set of songs that suggest chilling out in a field during a hazy, watercolor summer; this is music for after the party, not after-parties. "Clowns" opens the album with finger-picked acoustic guitar, birdsongs, and Allison's nearly wordless vocalizing, making a statement that's bold because it's so gentle -- the effect is like stepping out into a sunny morning after spending all night in a club. At first, it's a shock, and then it feels great. Avoiding the glammy dance-pop of the duo's previous two albums is a bit of a risk, since Goldfrapp could probably make endless variations on "Ooh La La" and still have plenty of fans. However, The Seventh Tree isn't so much a radical change for Goldfrapp as it is a shift in focus; even if it doesn't sound glam, it sounds glamorous. Sonic luxury has been the only constant in the duo's sound, from Felt Mountain's darkly lavish soundscapes to Black Cherry and Supernature's decadent dance hits, and there's plenty of it here, too. This is not Goldfrapp Unplugged, although acoustic guitars and strings waft in and out of the album effortlessly -- if anything, The Seventh Tree's electro hippie-chic is the duo's most polished and luxe work yet. "Little Bird"'s psychedelic trip-hop builds to a majesty that recalls "Strawberry Fields Forever," buoyed by layer upon layer of guitar, vocals, sparkling synths, and a massive, rolling bassline. "Caravan Girl" is some of Goldfrapp's finest escapist pop, capturing the irresistible appeal of running away with big hooks and an even bigger Wall of Sounds backing them up. Allison uses her voice more beautifully and expressively than she has since Felt Mountain, especially on "Eat Yourself" and the Air-esque "Cologne Cerrone Houdini," where her upper register shines. Goldfrapp expands their emotional palette as well as their musical one on The Seventh Tree, digging deeper into the vulnerable territory they explored with Supernature's "Number One." On "Monster Love" and "A&E," where Allison confesses "think I want you still, but it may be pills at work," the duo pulls off the confessional, folktronic singer/songwriter style with more flair than their peers. "Happiness," on the other hand, offers some surprisingly cheeky irony, pondering how to find "real love" (answer: "donate all your money") while coming across like a cheery cult anthem about trading your worldly possessions for colorful robes. With all the sounds and feelings The Seventh Tree explores, it's clear that Goldfrapp doesn't miss the style the pair perfected on their last two albums, nor should they -- this is some of their most varied, balanced, and satisfying work.

Epicness I hope you bought 40th Anniversary Edition. That CD sounds "true" only as mono. That said, Syd Barret was ****ing genius. had piper long before the new edition, so it's not high on my priority to get, some day maybe ... the music industry sucks that way. don't get me started on special editions, limited editions remastered with extra tracks and so on or let's add a dvd for the heck of it, just so we can sell the same album over again. and yes syd was way ahead of the game .................. in many respects back on topic elvis presley - 30 number 1s (entire cd) Hmh.

Darth Drabek Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I used to be a huge Floyd fan, but I just haven't listened to them much in the last few years. Back in my college years, I saw a pretty good Floyd tribute band play "The Wall" in its entirety, complete with the live stage show. I actually caught one of the blocks of the wall when they blew it up at the end. All in all, it was a pretty cool experience, especially when he kicked the TV set over. That's when I knew those guys meant business.

Xard Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) That is one of the best classic compositions ever I used to be a huge Floyd fan, but I just haven't listened to them much in the last few years. I've never wished I had born earlier than when I heard some high quality bootlegs from In The Flesh tour (77-78) for the first time. ****, Animals played live was one of the most amazing thing I had ever heard. Especially Pigs which was extended into 17 minutes long epoch. Waters was going mad and Gilmour's guitar was at its absolute best. Dogs, Sheep and Pigs were out of this world. If Animals would've had albums production and ferocity and lenght of live tracks Animals would've been by far best album ever. It is one of the best even now but damn, did I love main riff of Dogs played on electric guitar (guess it was Fender). And the booming, gargantual beat of Pigs.

Xard Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 One of the saddest ones... Verdi - Dies Irae This is how all teh epic movie muzik tries to be during the fight that decides fate of the world. Of course they fail horribly. I prefer Chopin. Not that they can be compared, him composing for piano and that bearded thing for full orchestra, but damned I got preferences! Frederic Francois Chopin - The revolution etude I've never really listened Chopin, guess I should. It's not like I'm fan of Verdi or anything nor that is best classical piece of ever, I merely ment all the "epic" music a la LotR soundtrack tend to go after Dies Irae and ilk but ain't as good Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Their most touching song with Exit Music and Pyramid Song...
