... Diet Coke commercial (directed by Michel Gondry), plus Nintendo extending the use of "Strict Machine" in their Game Boy Advance SP commercial for another three months, Goldfrapp release their first full length DVD on October 19th, 2004. Titled Wonderful Electric - Live In London the 2xDVD features two very different sold out live London shows, one from the dates surrounding the latest album, Black Cherry and one from the time of the debut album, Felt Mountain.

The 2 disc set features Goldfrapp live at Somerset House in July 2003, a wonderful open air concert in the courtyard of one of London's most beautiful buildings and a live show from November 2001 - part of a series of three sold out shows at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Both concerts are in 5.1 surround sound.

Featuring a variety of tracks from both Felt Mountain and Black Cherry, the DVD also includes live favorites such as their wonderful version of Olivia Newton John's "(Let's Get) Physical" - here known as "U.K. Girls (Physical)" - and the stunning cover of Baccara's disco hit, "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" (here known as "Yes Sir"). There are also two rare tracks from around the time of the Shepherd’s Bush Empire show. "Little Death" (which has never been released in any form) and "Sartorious."

Extras include two documentaries shot around the time of each show - Twisted Summer (which has been extended with extra footage and brought further up to date) and A Trip To Felt Mountain.

The band have been blowing festival audiences away this summer with an incredible live show featuring deer dancers and fireworks (writing about the Glastonbury set, The Times (UK) said that "Goldfrapp stole the show", while The Guardian (UK) said that they “provided Glastonbury’s first triumph”) The Observer (UK), writing about the Shepherd’s Bush Empire show, opined “Goldfrapp have made this territory – a kind of futuristic sensuality – their own."

Goldfrapp have also won over the North American audience and press during their three tours here.

"Our current mission was diverted by strange and beautiful sounds emanating from the El Rey Theater where British musical entity Goldfrapp held a crowd captive for almost an hour with mysterious siren songs of dystopia and bizarre romance." – Los Angeles Times

"By the time Goldfrapp had left the stage, every audience member had fallen under their spell."
– Globe and Mail (Canada)

"the woman will be a star for years to come." – Time Out New York

Currently, the sales of Black Cherry have achieved Gold status in the UK. This year, Goldfrapp was nominated for both a Brit Award and a U.S. Dancestar Award and won the MTV Europe 2003 Music Award for the best website - goldfrapp.co.uk.
