Re-evaluation - Part 20 - Goldfrapp

One of the best new bands around, well I say New they have been around for about 10+ years now. Initially I heard of them around the time of 2000 when they had just released the album 'Felt mountain'. Was sort of in the vain of Portishead, but the album did contain some good tracks.
What blew me away was the album from 2003 called 'Black Cherry'. A almost complete album it featured hits like 'Twist', 'Strict Machine '. Tracks that were dance and other tracks that were atmopsheric. In some ways I think Goldfrapp probably influenced other acts alot bigger (say for example Madonna). Where Goldfrapp was embracing old trends and making them a bit more fashionable.Glam etc, also adopting old 70s songs as covers 'yes sir I can boogie ' for example.
Will Gregory is the man behind the sound of Goldfrapp , I read somewhere he has a thing for old keyboards. Which I suppose are then merged with new technology. Goldfrapp released the album 'Supernature' which featured 'Oh la la ' and they followed that album with 'Seventh Tree'. This year they have released the album 'Head First'.Intresting to see where they go next.
Re-Evaluation - Part 19. Tom Petty

With Tom Petty he achived massive success in his homeland from the late 70s onwards, but it wasnt until the late 80s that he was getting hits in the UK. What I like aboyut Tom Petty was that he played the game with MTV as most of his 80s video's testify, but he also remained part of the live scene. I remember seeing a video performance of Tom Petty and it was like watching a different artist.
Tom Petty and the heartbreakers have continued to release records over the last two decades, not meeting the heights of their 70s and 80s output but keeping their fan base and releasing radio unfriendly material.
Tom Petty remain in the UK a typical US band which is unfair as they have released so many good albums over the years
