Alison Goldfrapp:

History & discography ( * = not mentioned in the credits of the release!!! ):

It all started while singing for a Belgian ballet ensemble! She lived for three years in Antwerp. The man who made the music for the ballet performances, Alan Goldberg, invited her to work with him in Antwerp. She toured in Belgium & the Netherlands with this ensemble, before she started studying art school. In Antwerp she also participated in art performances. For instance, she sang once in a brothel, in Atwerp’s old prostitute quarter.

Dread Zone:

The Good, The Bad and The Dread EP:
	1. The Good (vocal version)  2. The Bad (vocal version)
(p + c 1993 Dread Zone)

The first recording were we can find Alison Goldfrapp. She jammed one night in a club with them and they asked her to record with them. Don't mention this release to her, she hates the tracks. She only did this because Dread Zone had the same management of Tricky (Fruit). And she really liked his first Ep (Aftermath EP) and wanted to work with him.

Performance:
	03. Far Encounter
(p + c 1994 Totem Records, cat number ttpcd002)

Thanks to Stephen Bennet for this information!!!

But Goldfrapp actually made her first music recordings with Orbital, but they were released a while after the Dreadzone Ep. She calls them "old schoolfriends", probably refering to her art studies.

She did a large tour with Tricky, who was a support act for PJ Harvey. During that tour she met John Parish, who at that time played guitar in PJ Harvey's band. She also recorded with Spacer during this period. Alison didn’t really like the tour with Tricky, because most of the tour-people “were strange and difficult to live with”. John Parish was one of the very few normal people.

A Ruff Guide to Tricky:
	5. Pumpkin (edit)
(2002 - Island Rec.)	The Best of Tricky

Now for a special release:

Various: OST - Le Confessionnal

(1995 Pollyanna Productions)

Thanks to Abid Rehman for this info! Portishead,

Back to the "normal" releases:

Spacer:

Contrazoom 10" Promo:
NO ARTWORK AVAILABLE (grey cover)	A1. Contrazoom
(p+c 1996 Pussyfoot - Pussy 013)	(very limited 10" promo)

Various: Pussy Galore:
	1. Spacer: Contrazoom
(p+c 1996 Pussyfoot - Pussy LP 007)	I mention this release because the 10" is difficult to find.

This track is wonderfull, Goldfrapp really sounds like Shirley Bassey. The track can also be found on "The Rebirth of Cool - Vol 7".

Sensory Man:
	3. Orchard  7. Junk  11. The Event Horizon
(p+c 1997 Pussyfoot - Pussy LP 008)

Elements of Twist EP:
	A1. Junk
(p + c 1997 Pussyfoot - Pussy 022)

While recording with Spacer (Luke Gordon, co-engineer of Felt Mountain), she met Ian Simmonds (aka Juryman). She learned to work with musicians for the first time, she says about this co-operaton. All the ones she recorded with before, worked with computers and rhythms, not with instruments. Working with Spacer & Juryman gave her an idea of what she wanted to do in music. All the rest? She says now, she was learning. Learning about the music, the music business and her own voice.

After the tour with Tricky, Alison was tired with music. The tour was very hard, Tricky's band was a bit too "macho" and harsh. Probably too much drugs hanging around. She started with a computer cursus, but didn't see through it, because she got recording again with Orbital (nothing left) and the Juryman (a long time friend of Spacer, who helped them again).

Plaid:

Rest Proof Clockwork:
	hidden track = "Face Me" (*)
(p + C 1999 Warp - Warp 63)

John Parish:

Rosie (OST):
	3. Pretty Baby
(P 1998 Rondor Music / © 1998 Swarf Finger Records SF034Cd)

Parish made this OST for a Belgium movie. he needed a vocal track for the end titles and to make the cd a bit more commercial. He remembered Goldfrapp from the Tricky-PJ Harvey tour. The lyrics are written by Pawlowski, a Belgian composer/singer-songwriter.

Add N to (X):

Avant Hard:
	1. Barry 7's Contraption  2. Robot New York  3. Skills  4. Steve's Going To Teach Himself Who's Boss  5. FYUZ  6. Buckminster Fuller  7. Revenge Of The Black Regent  8. Metal Fingers In My Body  9. Ann's Eveready Equestrian  10. Oh Yeah, Oh No  11. Machine Is Bored With Love  + Hidden track
(P+C 1999 Mute records - Stumm cd 170)

Old friends she calls them. Alison is mentioned as an additional artist, but they don't say on which tracks. For sure is: she sings on "Revenge of the Black Regent" and "oh yeah, oh no" (and those are the lyrics, repeated over and over again). Maybey that's her also whistling on track 11. If i had to guess, she performs on the tracks: 5, 7, 10 and 11.

Revenge of the Black Regent EP:
	Maxi tracklist: 1. Revenge of the Black Regent  2. Old Lady Ealing does Man Experiments  3. Is that allright FYUZ  4. The March of Pure Mathematical Evil that Ends and Results in War  7" tracklist: 1-Revenge Of The Black Regent  2-Iron Man
(Mute 1999) 12", maxi & 7" all same cover.	(cd features also video for "Metal Fingers In My Body")

Again Goldfrapp is mentioned as an additional musician on the Ep and 7", but again it's not mentioned if she worked on the other Ep-tracks or the b-side.

Loud Like Nature:
	1. Total All Out Water *
(P+C 2002 Mute records - Stumm cd 204)	Mentioned as Alison.

Juryman:

The Hill:
	2. The Morning  7. To Sleep  10. The Moot
(p+c 2000 SSR/crammed discs - SSR LP224)

One of the projects through which she got back hooked up again with music. Wonderfull tracks, especially The Moot (the intro is just amazing!).

Peter Gabriel:

OVO:
Info & pictures HERE!	3. Time of the Turning (*) 5. The Time of the Turning (reprise) / The Weavers Reel (*) 12. Make Tomorrow (*)
(p+c 1999/2000 real world - PG cd 9)

And who was also on this cd??? Will Gregory! More info... see Will's discography at the bottom of the page.

Various - Der Krieger + Die Kaiserin:

OST - Der Krieger und die Kaiserin:
	5. pale 3 feat. Alison Goldfrapp: Bodo
(P+C 2000 Motor Music GmbH)

The cd features also tracks by Louise Rhodes (Lamb) and Skin.

Thanks to Dirk Neuhoff for this info!

And another very special release:

VPRO's Moondive project:

Moondive is a project of a Dutch TV channel, VPRO. They gathered 6 to 7 artists from very different musical backgrounds and asked them to make a live music show for TV. They had 6 days and got a castel where they could live and practice. Camera's were filming almost all the time. This was organised in the summers of 1998 and 1999.

Goldfrapp took part in the first show of 1999. She didn't like the week, because she hated most of the other artists. This is her dairy of the first days:
"A diary should be secret, its contents are to be read by no one else.
So, even knowing that this is going to be read by other people I'll try to say what I really think of it all.
- Day 1, On arriving in Holland I felt instantly uncomfortable even though people were very polite, helpful etc.
- Day 2. Taken to the house in the country. A beautiful place, but I feel just as restless. Go on a bike ride, after a drink. Being filmed on arrival is really unnerving.
- Day 3. Start doing some music. I can't handle it at all! I hate this stuff and the camera's everywhere drive me nuts. It makes doing anything feel really contrived, clinical. I don't wanna do any of this. Go for a bike ride, talk to some horses.
Tommorrow I'll book a flight home. I can't fuckin stand it. I'll say there's been a family tragedy or something! I hate the music, the attitudes, I feel claustraphobic. Everyone feels so awkward I could scream. Go for a bike ride.
- Day 4. Got used to the cameras a bit more and the cameramen are sweet. I am trying to forget their there when we're rehearsing stuff.
Go for a bike ride, look at a castle and got jumped on by some dogs and escorted off the land. Anyway the house is like Faulty Towers, Pata is blowing his horn in the woods. The cameramen are filming me eat an orange.
- Day 5. Everyone is fighting for their territory. I don't like what we are doing, but there is no room for change. The whole thing is pretty funny really and the house and the crew are cool.."
This dairy is taken from:  http://www.vpro.nl/data/projecten/moondive_1999/dagboek-swalmen1.shtml?1964333
You can find there also some pictures of Alison Goldfrapp.

Moondive 1999.1: Musicians on a Mission:
	-> Part 1:  Track 2. from 7.35 to 16.50  -> Part 2:  Track 2. from 24.48 to 31.30  Track 3. from 31.30 to 39.45  Track 4. from 39.45 untill the end (approx. 45.30).
(p + c 1999 VPRO)

Even though she hated the music, most of the parts she worked on are ok. But she only worked on 4 tracks, good for less than 30 min. The concert took 90 min.! The rest of the concert was much more experimental jazz/electro/noise. Especially the last track is nice. Her voice is being sampled and she sings through this sample.

You can order the cd at VPRO , but if you don't live in the Netherlands that's expensive! And complicated, because their site is allmost 100% in Dutch...
You could listen to the concert in RealAudio, but ever since the restart of their web-site, that’s impossible.
