* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Felt Mountain'' is quite surprising for fans introduced through their [[HotterAndSexier later work.]] However, it is still often cited as their masterpiece, [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible for perhaps the same reasons.]]

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: There are a few tracks that are very hard to find since they were never released on an album. The most well known- "Little Death", "Sartorius" and "Fondue Knights"- were played during the ''Felt Mountain'' era, since Goldfrapp only had the songs from ''Felt Mountain'' to play and needed other songs to play at concerts. It's also quite hard to find songs like "White Soft Rope" and "Gone To Earth", which only appeared on singles.

Fixed a typo (missing R in 'titular') and deleted the entry that claimed Alison is a brunette who dyes her hair blond. She is in fact a natural blonde. Yes, I made this account just to delete it because as a long-time Goldfrapp fan such inaccuracy pissed me off.


* DyeHard: Alison is a natural brunette, but she dyes it blonde. She is currently a redhead as of ''Silver Eye''.



* RuleOfSymbolism: The music video for "Annabel" is in black and white but the color returns after the titula Annabel -- an intersex child who is raised as a boy -- receives a sparkling dress from her mother, which signifies that she can be herself.
