Great sound and performance........2006-12-01

I discovered Alison Goldfrapp this year(2006). What a treat! Since I am a "Supernature" generation kid to her music, and that being fantastic music, I had to research her past music and performances. Again, what a treat! She is following all of the great musicians who adapt to changing times, by changing her styles of music. This, to me, keeps her music fresh and inviting.

I missed seeing Goldfrapp in NYC earlier in the year, but made a point to see her October 18th at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC. She mixed some of the songs from this DVD with newer music of the Supernature CD/DVD. I believe she is going to be a new superstar in music.

If you haven't heard her music before, and are used to a more rocky style of music, then buy the Supernature CD/DVD set. This way you can see her in her music video(and a live concert song). Then if you are hooked, buy this DVD set to see her older live performances. Of particular interest in this set are the songs Utopia, Strict Machine, Black Cherry, Train and Human(kind of a surreal, nightclub song with neat orchestration and Cowbell!).

If you become really hooked, see her live, and then buy all of her stuff!

I listen to this music at work, in the car, etc. Good Stuff.

P.S. Check out her website. She has a good one where you can see and hear her.

Perfect!.......2006-04-04

I was late buying this fabulous DVD-set, but as they say, "better late than never." I am sooo very glad that I bought this! It's filled with all of their best work, and it's just, well?, extremely entertaining!
I just saw their L.A. show, March 11, 2006, @ the Wiltern Theatre, and that alone has made me a fan for life now! I just hope they release just as good of a DVD for "Supernature", as they did for "Wonderful Electric".
Goldfrapp is a hidden diamond, get this DVD asap! You will thank yourself later! :]
ENJOY!

Wonderful Electric - indeed!.......2005-09-18

For Goldfrapp neophytes, this DVD is a great addition to your collection. Do not pass this one up. Watching the contrast of the two tours, you continue to appreciate what this band is capable of doing with their sound.
The only downside was the short length of the "Twisted Summer" doc.

Simply Utopia.......2005-05-20

This is simply the best music concert DVD I have ever bought. First off, there are two DVDs so you can hear the growth of Goldfrapp from Utopia to Black Cherry. Secondly, Ms Goldfrapp has an incredible voice and stage persona. When I was listening to the Goldfrapp CDs I was not entirely sure if it has her singing all of the high notes due to the electronic nature of their work. Well, its her alright. When she belts out the operatic opening of the song Utopia I was amazed. Goldfrapp tends to sing in the middle register, but you get to see her following traditional operatic vocals for the beautiful high notes. Also, I would not have guessed that she is so incredible on stage (especially on the Black Cherry tour).

This purchase was filled with pleasent surprises and combine that with the fact of getting 2 DVDs and this is a must buy.

Excellent.......2005-02-10

I saw Goldfrapp play live twice in 2004. She was an amazing singer. This DVD documents the live show over the past five years. I saw the Black Cherry tour so it was great to contrast and compare that experience to the earlier tours. This DVD shows some of the videos, and they could have included some of the videos, but maybe that's for another day. I look forward to the next Goldfrapp album.

Here I want to be..........2007-05-28

If you're a Goldfrapp fan (and even if you've never even heard of them) this DVD is essential. It contains two different DVDs from two different eras: the "Felt Mountain" and the "Black Cherry" eras. Although both concerts are great, I really do like the contrast of the songs in the "Black Cherry" DVD. The documentaries, "A Trip to Felt Mountain" and "Twisted Summer" really catch the 'feel' of the albums, too. I'm so glad that artists like Alison Goldfrapp exist. She's an artist that can combine sex appeal with musical genius. This DVD is a definite must!

Felt Mountain & Black Cherry brought to life!.......2004-12-14

Both concerts provide a heavenly slice of Goldfrapp. Although not a big fan of the material from Black Cherry, I reveled in the sound of Felt Mountain brought to deliciously detailed life. Both concerts have the same general feel, so I feel that perhaps this might have been made better by including the promo videos for the respective songs.

The bonus material of the interviews and such give a well-rounded view of where Ms Goldfrapp is coming from.

One thing I hardly mention about other items, deserves attention here... and that is the packaging. The physical packaging is slick and candy-like. The DVD menus themselves are works of art.

Altogether a DVD worth the price for any Goldfrapp fan.
