I get high on a buzz
Then a rush when I'm plugged in you
I connect
When I'm flush
You get love when told what to do

Wonderful electric
Wonderful electric
Wonderful electric
Cover me in you

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a strict machine

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a strict machine

When you send me a pulse
Feel a wave of new love
Through me
I'm dressed in white noise
You know just what I want
So please

Wonderful electric
Wonderful electric
Wonderful electric
Cover me in you

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a strict machine

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a strict machine ...

Interesting follow-up to Black Dahlia by Porcupine Tree.

Interesting to say the least.  Perhaps one of the most jarring transitions on RP I have heard in quite some time.

Okay, I declare that I will substitute this song in all future occasions that call for Rock and Roll (Part Two)

This is not a bad song at all.
I just had such a shock of delight listening to their first album "Felt Mountain".
I admire them for having the guts to totally depart from that style for their subsequent music, and I'm sure there was no way to do a Felt Mountain 2.. I'm just not into that vintage modern synth thing.

(Ive seen a lot of whining in comments around RP, but here? Like there was someone forcing the poor fellows lto listen to that awful stuff against their will. Yes there is PSD, there is turning off RP... We all want RP to be our perfect station. It's so pretty darn close, we can really be glad, I believe...)

I was thinking Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", just before I hit PSD.
I have heard other Goldfrapp tracks that I've liked, however.

Posted 14 years ago by plaice3    [ Reply ]
I cannot say that this song would ever appeal to me (unless I had heard it here in a mix with other pieces), and even then it seems likely that it is best experienced while experiencing psychopharmacologically activated perception. It does not seem designed for listening to while working at a computer.

It's amazing how many cashiers don't hear that number until you say it in song.

My original comment..."Goldcrap" was my first impression of this song and this band.As an update...I have downloaded a half a dozen songs from this band and I must say that I enjoy their "techno-sensuality"....especially Littlebird.With that being said...I disdain Strict Machine.
