LAST LISTENED TO this week
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT pretty durn good
RATING
Ahh. What a nice way to end the year. This CD has featured on many of Suse and my trips into the highlands of Scotland and this week was no different. Whenever i hear it, i always picture mountains sliding by under an overcast sky. I think we listened to it on the stretch through Tyndrum towards Rannoch Moor this time.
Strict Machine is a few years old now (2003), but it's still sounds sparkly and new. It's a sleazy piece of glam-dance that runs on squelchy synths. These synths sound both very modern and yet also curiously retro, especially during the glam-rock stomp moments.
Alison Goldfrapp's lyrics could be seen to be, once again, quite rude, complimenting perfectly the sleazy feel to the song. However, her angelic delivery works as a perfect counterpoint to this. The result is a sleazy yet pretty song with stomping bits of glam rock sprinkled throughout.
