Thread title retracted. I must also knock one out.

I really don't like that album cover. It looks cheap/cut/past/fade. I did like the 2003 albums cover though. I never got into the 2007 album. It was their Behaviour I suppose. I like Goldfrapp but don't get that excited over them.

OK, I just listened to Rocket. That is one of the most authentic 80s sounding tracks I've heard in the last 10 years. But kind of disgusting early 80s guitar band goes full synth type deal. It sounds good, a bit Van Halen synths yes, but the melody is too simple, something Air is good at doing as well.

I've just listened to the whole album..I really like it! I'm not that amazed by Rocket, it's quite simple, a nice enough song I suppose...but the rest of the album is far better!
It's very electro/synth sounding and upbeat, and I much prefer it to the way the last album sounded.
I'll definitely be giving this another listen soon!

I know this is probably off-topic, since we're in the off-topic forum and I'm going to talk about PSB, but:

Is there some largely unknown first album the boys released sometime between '76 and '83?!?
