I don't know which track is on the Mercury Music Prize album, but I have the Goldfrapp album and like it a lot. The album is pretty consistent, though the first track to me is the standout (the one that was used in a long TV ad recently, possibly for BT or One 2 One - I can't remember). Its definitely worth a purchase anyway, and it should have been out long enough by now to be found for a reasonable price.
Tony.

Cheers Tony, I think the one I like is off the ad as well, starts with whilstling.
I will check it out.
If you like a bit of Groove Armarda, their latest is will worth a few quid, a bit of an over blown bass recording but some nice tunes towards the end.

I'm guessing the track on your album is "Lovely Head". This, IMHO, is the best track on the album although the rest of it is not far off (Human is a fave too - lovely strings). The album has a similar flavour throughout which can be a tadge boring but if you like the eerie/haunting/dark/abstractness of it then you'll be fine.
Not an album I can play on a daily basis but one I'm glad to have in my collection.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I love the Goldfrapp album... love it. Saw her live a couple months ago, and she was amazing. All those strange high-pitched sounds that seem like processed guitar or synth are actually her vocals. It was a shock to hear those sounds come out of her mouth (of course, they're processed, but still).
