    Sorry for derailing the thread, but considering this place isn't exactly a hive of activity i'm sure it doesn't hurt when we actually manage to spark a discussion between a few people.  Don't get jealous just because you weren't part of it  :-\"

    Back to the place being a Ghosttown (Madonna puns, yay!)

    So it is. A bit ....arty!
    Lots of that shoulder shrugging choreography that is so popular in hip hop and Beyoncé videos. No mention of Lisa G is the credits either.
    Does it insist upon itself?

    The setting is stunning, the shaved head couple is striking, but, yeah, it does feel a bit art school'y.

    They stole my dance moves.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    Great interview. From what I heard of the snippets yesterday the album will be wonderful and dark. But given a stunning song, scenery and sci-fi theme, the video is a bit of an anticlimax tbh

    I'd have liked to have seen more of Alison in the video. But love the setting and outfits.

    So is it TWO sets of twins? Blondies and baldies?

    I've just watched it again on a big screen.
    The 'Baldies' do not look like twins. Certainly not identical.
    2nd Goldfrapp video in which a hand has been clenched through sand. See Stranger.
    When the two Baldies dance in front of the cliff, and one puts her hand on the head of the other, that section of dance moves reminds we of the moves when Alison had the dancers dressed in Horses heads.
    The very end of the song as it begins to fade out. To me, it just feels like it wants to come back at that point into the beat and the synths and start off again.
    They have big moons in Fuerteventura!

    I think it is the best video they've ever done bar none.

    Visually gorgeous, especially the closing shot of the flaming red dress against the black volcanic rock.

    The theme of fire and rock seems to be consistent since we got those "plutonic velvet" tags.

    I disliked the TOU videos, and so this pleases me greatly. But the music is what really matters.

    Well, I believe Lisa has been in LA on a 6-month+ job. She took the bleddy dog with her!

    Oh, I like more allusive, ambiguous stuff that allows me to make my own interpretations. The TOU vids were too straightforward. But that's just my taste.

    Loving the song and video, just so damn happy to have new Goldfrapp to listen to. Really looking forward to seeing/hearing the new work live. Just waiting to hear of a US date at this point. VIVA FRAPP !!!
