DeBaser reviews trace Goldfrapp's evolution from the cinematic ambience of Felt Mountain through electro-glam (Black Cherry, Supernature) to folktronica (Seventh Tree, Tales Of Us). Critics frequently praise Alison's voice and the duo's willingness to change, while some releases (notably Head First for some reviewers) divide opinion. Production, theatricality and stylistic shifts are recurring focal points.

For:Listeners of electronic, synth-pop, folktronica and dream pop; readers interested in artist evolution and album-by-album critique.

 An impressive debut by Golfrapp with this album, dated back to 2000, breaking into the music scene with a soft-pop-rock characterized by dreamy, melancholic, and visionary atmospheres, widely imitated by many bands in the following years.

 They seem like an even sicker version of Portishead, but it's all a trip.

 Alison Goldfrapp is not a bloody forest nymph and that if you bother her, she doesn't turn into a tree surrounded by fireflies, but rather, she gives you a kick in the teeth, and those, as is known, are more "Mortal Kombat" than "Sleeping Beauty".
