[edit] bias
"While receiving some well placed publicity in the Verizon Wireless commercial for the new LG Electronics Mobile Communications' "Chocolate" wireless phone, the song is clearly derivative of Donna Summer's disco-era hit I Feel Love. Strict Machine sounds like a stripped down version of the 1970's dance classic with slower tempo, and elevated bass and distortion levels."
I didn't quite know how to rephrase this so it does not sound bias, but it clearly is. TrevorLSciAct 23:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
If Strict Machine is clearly a derivative of I Feel Love, then so is about 80% of the pop-dance music of the last about 5-7 years. That's what I think. Also, I've read quite a few reviews of this track and somehow none of the reviewers seemed to be struck by this clear familiarity - no offence, but maybe you should back yourself up with something a bit more convincing than writing clearly in italics.
Basically that sentence above suggests that Strict Machine only got a little attention for Goldfrapp because it ripped off a hugely popular song and later it was used for an advert. That's grossly unfair.
I think it is unfair--and I did not write it (by clearly I meant that it was clearly bias. I happen to love the songTrevorLSciAct 21:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
