...audience too enthralled to obsess about originality. And yet there is something unique about her trips to the past: Supernature shimmers along with an electric buzz like a dangerously overloaded socket, enlivening the edge between human voice and machine. "I think that's why we love old analog synthesizers - like the Mellotron, which tries to imitate a human sound, an acoustic sound that's a bit wrong somehow," says Goldfrapp. They even break their own rule and plug in a guitar for the first time on the Marc Bolan glam-rock stomp of Ooh La La and Satin Chic.

Unless you count Robert Bresson's invention, 50 years later, of reeeeeally slooooow movies...
...pseudonyms: our assailants were “esqu1n4”, “_TGm_”, “Stealh”, and the mysterious “S.” They also left the address of an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel. IRC is the online analog to a seedy downtown bar scene—an enormous world-wide free-for-all of public chat rooms where people conduct all sorts of business from arguments about obscure topics in system administration to cruising for dates or trading copyrighted music and movies...
