CD Reviews

Lovely Head is a Goldfrapp original

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To correct/inform the previous reviewer, Lovely Head is not a remake or a cover of another group; the song was written by Goldfrapp duo Wil and Alison. Ambient and mysterious, it is a hauntingly beautiful song topped off with some eerie lyrics. The Staré Mesto (dark) and Miss World (loungy) mixes were both done by Goldfrapp themselves, and while they are both kind of opposite to each other, together they make a great pair. This single from the UK seems to be hard to find as it is now long out-of-print, and while you can find the two remixes on other releases it is still a nice addition to the CD collection of a Goldfrapp collector. They're not for everyone, but it is my opinion that Goldfrapp are geniuses making absolutely beautiful, sexy music.

And to correct Amazon's listing, the first track on this single is actually the Album Version of Lovely Head, not a single version."
