Goldfrapp - Strict Machine (Official HD Video)

[@stuartsmith2248]

This song by goldfrapp could have possibly been a club hit worldwide

[@nichmon3221]

It was a major club hit, worldwide. It was such a club hit - I don't and didn't even GO to clubs.... and it was stuck in my head for 3 fucking years until I bought the damned album!😂 You are correct, sir.

When this came out in 2003 I thought this was going to be WAY bigger than it was. It sounded like a new era for an Eurythmics type of music to take over the mainstream and finally bury the crap we had to put up with in the 90's. But it was just too ahead of its time. Sad how brilliance can get overlooked when the timing is not right.

[@jaycee30865]

People are idiots in short.

[@onemomenttohislifespan]

I mean it was a top 10 hit !

[@jeffthompson2216]

IDk if that's true, but given a few decades of club and so forth, feels pretty accurate. Like, I know it was '03 and got some play on our (then) badass indie channel, but it would be 6 or more years later, and then it was blowing up at like darkwave night. Not quiiiiite the right venue/theme night, but I'll be damned if it didn't pop. Very wide x-section of subcultures and niches really into it. Weird but solid. Like '01 when Gorillaz put out "Clint Eastwood". Another club night, industrial-goth Wed, and they play it, and once more, ton of rando punks, skaters, occasional head banger, rivet head, goth, or local hip hop kid were all happy AF. Goldfrapp's a little more accessible, but it's so cool when you see those moments. Like bottled lightning, hard to repeat.

[@charliequinn_]

@@onemomenttohislifespan It wasn’t a Top 10 hit. It originally debuted in the Top 30 in 2003, before the song was reissued in 2004 in which it managed to crack the Top 20. But it deserved to be much, MUCH bigger.

[@maxsimgue9764]

Ya'll need to listen to this surround sound on good headphones, Goldfrapp takes you on a crazy electronica disco ride, and its best done in the dark of your room, alone and riding the waves of her siren song with low neon underlighting as ambience. Very trippy album, Black Cherry, and sonically hypnotizing much like something you'd hear Roger Waters tinker up on a synthesizer. Which, by way of theramin orgasms, she as an act perfected live once upon a time.

[@FireworksAndHurricanes]

I think it's because excellent pop music is difficult to make, since it has so much going against it i.e. getting too repetitive, lyrical vacancy, getting overplayed on radio stations etc. Spent months listening to the electropop hits from the mid 2000s and 2010s and most of them are really just god-awful trash. Only a handful of artists like Goldfrapp can pull off really amazing electropop/synthpop.
