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 ...

check out the video for this. very sexy
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.

Easily. 
Would you like the list alphabetical or chronological?
 
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.
Alas, no upcoming concerts on the website.  <sigh>

Ms. Goldfrapp has matured wonderfully, while starting out as pretty wonderful.

6.8?  This song is excellent!!! {#Clap}
Love it!  ...and of course you all DO know what she is singing about....right?! {#Devil_pimp}
and she doesn't even need to sing
 Well, Alanis Morrisette's noise comes to mind.{#Eek}

Louder!! LOUDER!!!!!

  Never loud enough! {#Music}
somehow hearing this on Bill's playlist makes it MUCH more fun!
Sexy. 
Yuk. Retro '70s '80s. I expect to get a clone of Blondie or Giorgio Moroder right through my speakers any minute now. 
Wow. So THIS is Goldfrapp. Been seeing them featured in RS articles and watching their touring schedule.  I never knew!  Love you RP.  

'Pure Pop for Now People!'


Did Matt Bellemy marry Goldfrapp?
From Porcupine Tree to this! Probably not the most ambitious programming.  {#Confused} 
Could a song be anymore annoying?? {#Doh}

i don't love everything goldfrapp does, but i do love this song. i wish it was longer. something really sexy about it, in my opinion.
Like a patch of bad weather that I just have to wait out.

You say that like it might be a bad thing.
A good dancing tune for sure. Not too bad on the ears & eyes either. 
loving the comments on this one.  A real Marmite song it seems.   a 6 me thinks!

If yours isn't electric, I don't think this song applies.

Such a sexual song!!! Awesome!

 
Quite. Whacko! Thwack! Slap! It's enough to sell you on S&M.  The other songs on this album are pretty erotic, too {#Hearteyes}
My machine has been known to unre-strict itself, darling.
There is just extreme 'hotness' in that voice...yummy!!! {#Drool}

As the Fonz would say, "Exactamundo."

Donna Summer meets Depeche Mode.
 
An interesting and entertaining change of pace, I think.
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.
WHY? (insert ears bleeding emoticon)
My subwoofer rattles the whole house on this song.  Showoff.
Killer tune...worst album cover...

That's the number I use when registering with stores to get their stupid discount card.  And I'm not the only one.  If you ever forget your card try using the local area code and then that number.  It works 90% of the time.  :-)

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

 
works perfectly at Safeway. . .

I totally dig this tune.

Sounds great on my headphones.

Couple of even better songs on that album though.


OK I think. . .  enough RP for toning
More photos would be nice, too.

very cool follow-up to "Bat for Lashes"—Sleep Alone

I NEVER get tired of this album.

Or anything by Goldfrapp.  Such tight production, I hear something different every time, it seems.

Way better!  Goldfrapp has much more class.  Gots to agree with raindog, nice transition from the PT into this....

Better than Madonna any day.

That transition from Porcupine Tree actually worked!  Who would've thunk it.  {#Stupid}

Very sexy song.
This tune appears to have a very gender-specific audience. /captain obvious
like the sound, but a little to 80's{#Puke}

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.


Delicious!! I haven't heard this in far too many years thanks Bill!!

I do like this band - good 70's retro sound!

Weird website the band has. Haven't decided if I like it or not but it sucks you in in a "is it art or are they wasting my time?" KLF-sort-of way.
