Felt Mountain (US)

Rolling Stone (5/10/01, pp.88,90) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Fun and rewarding....Goth-rock and movie music have never waltzed together as they do on this debut..." Q (1/01, p.91) - Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000". Q (10/00, p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Goldfrapp's haunting, desperately romantic vocals are mesmerizing on their own....Equally serene and sinister. FELT MOUNTAIN is a beautiful album." Uncut (10/00, p.82) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[A] netherworld of espionage soundtracks and trembling torch-song vocals..." Alternative Press (12/00, p.100) - 3 out of 5 - "...Epic, cinematic, nightclub dirges reminiscent of a depressed, severely doped-up Air....scarily satisfying..." Muzik (10/00, p.74) - 5 out of 5 - "...Runs the gamut of heady passion, tunefully melancholic meandering and high-falutin' operatic gymnastics....a wash of tuneful accessibility. A must." CMJ (9/25/00, p.23) - "...Unpredictable and crafty....specializing in torch songs turned epic..." Melody Maker (10/17/00, p.59) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Fairly inoffensive coffee-table, cinematic, trip-hop stuff. Fleetingly pleasant..." Mojo (Publisher) (10/00, p.100) - "...[A] dream-like concoction of darkly erotic torch songs....brilliantly realized....Warmly recommended." NME (Magazine) (9/16/00, p.37) - 6 out of 10 - "...Cold, desolate and old-fashioned....drawing on the orchestral ululations of Roy Budd and Ennio Morricone..."
