Goldfrapp's debut was a slinky introduction to the duo's divine sense for John Barry-esque melodies (isn't it a shame Goldfrapp hasn't been tapped to do a Bond theme?). While later works Black Cherry and Supernature pumped up the tempo and stomping electronica, this more subdued set's highlights are the otherworldly beauty of tracks like "Lovely Head" and "Pilots" that sound really good late at night. For something with a little more kick, "Utopia" is also quite satisfying, as is the loungy "Human." The only downside are the oddly carnival-like "Oompa Radar" and the incoherent title track.Best: Lovely Head, Utopia, Pilots, Human, Deer Stop
