| A set of songs about voyeurism? Camera One Hidden Camera Show Don't Worry We'll Be Watching You |
| I like it...also heard one titled: "What do you Want" that caught my attention. I hope we hear it hear soon. |
| ...okay, this is pretty cool: far more intriguing musically than most of his music i've heard previously... |
| Ahhh, the Gotye I know & love most. |
| ..caught Gotye's show 12.Oct here in FW/D..very strong & tons of percussion (even the synth stuff was usually struck by a mallet or whatnot)..appreciate him more after the show & getting some exposure there to his earlier stuff..
..interestingly, "Somebody That I Used to Know" was one of the briefer tunes in the show..not over-glamorized as you'd imagine a "hit" tune to be..played just about mid-set, fairly low key, & got it done then moved along..
..thought that was pretty cool, myself.. |
| .....8 -> 9....VERY good album.....music for driving....  ........... |
| funky..eerie...unique :) |

As far as I can see Somebody that I used to know is superior both musically and lyrically to the rest of his stuff which I would say is passable but not very interesting. I'll be surprised to see anything else from him with as much substance. I found 'Somebody' a bit hard to listen to at first... I was disappointed that he was making vacant pop music to sell records, when his stuff was usually so obscure and off the wall. I still don't agree that it has more substance than any track on 'Drawing Blood', but I'm getting used to it, and if it means he finally gets a toe into the US market, then I'm all for it. |
| Hummm. So Peter Gabriel is followed by his spiritual successor. Nice one Bill. |

| Straight back to the days of Synthesizer Greatest! (if that means something in the US..) |

Then 2-3 months ago one of my boys says.....check out this new guy Gotye..."Somebody that I used to know" song and video. Some songs do it.....some songs don't. |

| Love this song! Also a great album! |

| Groovy, reminds me of Bomb the Bass's "Clear" era. |
