Is it still a pinball game if it’s not a massive construction of metal and plexiglass withbuttons on the side to give your crazy flipper fingers a workout? Who the hell cares when you’ve got the opportunity to play Goldfrapp pinball? In a development that promises to be at least as much fun as one of those ’70s Gottlieb Charlie’s Angels machines, Goldfrapp and Corporation Pop have developed an iPhone app that allows you to create spontaneous Goldfrapp remixes while you play palm pinball (And, no that’s not as dirty as it may sound).

The game plays music taken from Goldfrapp’s latest album, Head First, and everything the ball hits in the 3-D game triggers a different sound sample, effectively creating a different remix each time around. The visual setting has been described as “an imaginary urban environment with towering skyscrapers,” and just when you think you’re getting a jump on things, there are clouds that roll across the virtual sky, increasing the difficulty level of the Goldfrapp game. Meanwhile, back in the real world, “Believer,” the newest single from Head First, is coming out on September 7th, and it too features more remixes than you can shake a stick at, including one by none other than Depeche Mode/Erasure synth-pop sultan Vince Clarke.
