Country Norway
Town Kristiansand
Venue Caledonien Hall, Quart Festivalen
Reviews - Alison Goldfrapp has a classic voice which has graced recordings by both Tricky and Orbital. In a band of her own, as in last year's "Felt Mountain", her music is one of coolly detached electronic soundscapes.
This gig was in Caledonien Hall, to give the right impression of a retro nightclub and so match her Marlene Dietrich looks and mannerisms -- complete with uniform.
After the band had set the mood with an instrumental reminiscent of Twin Peaks, Goldfrapp marched on the stage and built on the eerie electronics with her wonderful voice.
Voice and Noise
She used no less than 3 microphones, 2 of which were fed through a modulator and manipulated by the man with the Moog and an assortment of noisemaking electronic boxes.
It was an even more chilly version of Portishead meeting movie soundtracks old and new.
It's Oh So Not Quiet
It is a demanding mix, and part of the audience were apparently not up to it and could not keep quiet.
Fortunately, Goldfrapp were not above playing around with the format: They had a sense of humor witnessed by a cover of Olivia Newton John's "Physical" given the electronic distortion treatment.
