About this album
Felt Mountain was a top seventy-five album in Goldfrapp’s native United Kingdom, and was certified gold in October 2001. It was generally well received by music critics, and it was described as “simultaneously smarmy and seductive, yet elegant and graceful”. In 2001, the album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, an annual music prize awarded for the best British or Irish album from the previous year.
Recording and production
Goldfrapp signed a recording contract with London-based record label Mute Records in August 1999.The pair began recording their debut album over a six-month period, beginning in September 1999, in a rented bungalow in the Wiltshire countryside. The recording process was difficult for Alison Goldfrapp, who was often alone and disturbed by the mice and insects in the bungalow.Gregory described their recording sessions as intense because he was unaccustomed to composing with others. Goldfrapp contributed the album’s lyrics, and Gregory and Goldfrapp composed the music together. The lyrics are abstract obsessional tales inspired by films, Goldfrapp’s childhood, and the loneliness she felt while recording the album.Musically, the album takes influence from a variety of styles including 1960s pop, cabaret, folk, and electronica.

Pragmatastique I wish Goldfrapp would make another album like this.(4) really the only Goldfrapp album I enjoy. Seventh Tree is decent, but misses on the warm retro glow that Felt Mountain always leaves me with.
-
alicenilesse So beautiful.
-
RussellChap Fitted like a glove at the time, Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack & Trip-Hop etc. but with plenty ideas of their own. This is, for me, the reason this album is their best work, since then they've tried too many musical hats & have been accused, rightly, of bandwagon jumping.
