Goldfrapp - Lovely Head (Live Canal+)

[trashcanalive]

Will Gregory looks as if he is constantly fine-tuning the voice synthesiser but I'm betting those knobs and buttons don't actually do anything. I think he's doing it just for show!

[mdegauss]

reminds me of something out of doctor who :D

[boorch]

it's not a theremin nor an effected vocal. it's her noise passing through his vocoder.

[Ozznofa]

Maan, the show really is in "black and white" illumination, or its just a video FX? Its amazing!

[dalooloo28]

3:31 what was that? I've never seen anything like that in a live performance - whatever that was

[darthkantus]

@dalooloo28 what are you talking about?

[dalooloo28]

@dalooloo28 she seemed to disconnect from the performance.

[admester]

gracias por la buena

[davidlucasfer]

maestro

[nickandmikec]

God I would love to see this girl in person! The songs from Felt Mountain often sound like John Barry (Bond music).

[admdc01]

I'm in love...

[sebastian242]

Remember seeing that and thinking to myself, - FUCK! That's what I call a voice for the new milllenium.

xsx

[ghemdib]

Stunning, profound, great performance by Alison. It makes me feel so good when i sing "Lovely Head" on stage too.

[liebe666tod]

Woah!

[cyprin69]

It's not a moog, it is a korg MS20 with enveloppe detector and pitch tracker.

Pitch and envelope of her voice are tracked and used to control a VCO...

[rezeski]

REally very nice in every way.

[strobbo]

so inventive ,creative ,one of the song that causes a big long term impact on me,absolute masterpiece forever.

[psychodamned]

This when they were great. I don't really like them anymore, they seem to be towing the line and not displaying the creative potential that we all know that they are capable of !! This is totally wonderful though !!

[Alex4u]

masterpiece.

[leoellion]

this is so fucking cool. sexiness and seduction in a tight amazing musical package.

[mmmskittlesful]

beautiful and entrancing.....i am always amazed

[serdelinfierno]

i love allison goldfrapp!!!

[nikorey27]

Just amazing! Goldfrapp is have a magical atmosphere...you always expect what are they going to do next.

[DarkAndMartyr]

Timeless

[hadesmusician]

***Even when the box appears right under the comment you want to reply to specifically, it can end up as the last comment posted on top of the list... WHY???***

sorry, don't want to spam all of YouTube with this but it IS irritating!

[fedtho]

Okay - FINALLY the live rendition of "Lovely Head" I was dreaming of. No fuss, Alison's voice very "acoustic" (except for the obviously indispensable synth, no big reverb or equalizing on her voice), the actual sound of the violin is there (on NO other live clip have I heard that). Even though Will Gregory (the other half of Goldfrapp) was not satisfied with this band setting (see Wikipedia page),I love it,love it.

GREAT POST,THANK YOU !!!

(could someone tell WHEN this was broadcast on Canal+ ?)

[fedtho]

OMG sorry, I didn't see the date is shown at the beginning of the clip LOL !!!!!

[dlhoneysnaps]

I love LOVE Goldfrapp.

[HolbergEM]

Uber;) Very classy.

[MESTREVIPER]

damns PERFECT! what a VOICE!!! lov them

[PinkMimosa]

F'ING AWESOME

[VoteDonyelle]

whoa... I always thought that noise was a theremin. She is amazing.

[ofdarknessandlight]

well I always thought it was something vocal but never seen it live, that's so cool!

[sturroma]

@VoteDonyelle it is a theremin but her voice if filtered through it

[philgar5]

@sturroma It's a moog - sidechained vocal !

[sturroma]

@VoteDonyelle actually, I'm wrong, it's filtered through a KORG MS-20 from what I hear

[topasc]

@VoteDonyelle i guess in the edit version there's a guitar partially overlapped to the voice distortion

[galaxysquirrel]

well, actually they are and You're not part of it....your snideness is not sexy or even remotely intersesting...(this comment directed to AlmicheV)

[Th1sWasATriumph]

I think snideness is the only weapon against pretension, myself.

Goldfrapp is their NAME.

[Bluesaturnfirefly]

beautiful..

[bidulau]

It's sounding very much as an ennio morricone track of the seventies. very good

[galaxysquirrel]

the band known as "goldfrapp"..never ceases to totally amaze me!...I hear this music in my dreams.....

[AlmicheV]

Are they known as something else in your world then? ;-)

[Lizzzard7]

lol, i always thought the "electronic scream" was a synthesized guitar xD

[robert78b]

It is amazing just how sinister and beautiful this song is. My spine always tingles when I hear that Electronic Scream....!

[jamiesuue73]

gorgeous voice

[ladyturnip]

Stunning, amazing, brilliant and beautiful. One of the most talented singers of our time!

[cinevita]

Very impressive.

[pablopoulain]

Gosh!!! I can't stop watching this video!!

I love this song

[trespalos1]

if you want to listen, see the film my summer of love

[mohorizon]

Excellent !!

[lunatikke666]

this song smells like summer :) when the air is full of heat and it's hard to breathe...

[LordExarKun]

With Felt Mountain I've always felt the opposite, cold, rainy nights and very dark rooms.

[navogenic]

wow, that's what i call demon haircut! :)))

[sepas2983]

i always wandering why the electronic music can produce this amazing songs and "rock" always getting worse¿?

[livingthruchemistry]

very good

[Supernature06]

OMG never seen this before. Its one of the best live prefromances of "Lovely Head". Loved it when Alison walk around the place at the begining oh so very funny. :]

[vladastorian]

this performance was done during a french T.V show on channel canal + .

[rls242]

Amazing. I would have loved to see this live.
