^ Emillina said she doesn't like Love in the time if Science. But thing is that is where she gained her fan base. Kind of wished she'd done a pop album again as I still love many of the tracks on there. Speed of Dark is kind of a Red Herring on new album.
Silly question at the moment. ;) Immersing myself in it's beauty.

I think I realised my problem with Goldfrapp's TOU this week. I mean I took Head First for was it was, a bit of fun, so quite enjoyed it in some ways. But with TOU I was ready for something serious. Something to really get the hairs on my back of my neck standing up.
So first date (Drew) was promising. I was definately interested, well totally 'up for it' if you get my drift ;-). But then, I don't know why, I just never got round to phoning for the second date even though people were saying great things.
So this week I thought 'I'll have to make an effort'. We have too much history to just drift apart. The time was right, I'd had some sleep, mind was clear and I was in a much better mood. So got everything how I wanted ready for a week of 'music love'. It started well. All the old things I loved were still there. We did some flirting, i was enjoying myself. I even forgot about my problems for a bit....
... but then something caught my eye. I'd seen them around, they were really good. I liked them a lot but not enough to ever get really serious. But this time something was different, something had changed. I couldn't keep my eye's away from their new sound and look. The hair's stood up on the back of my neck... this was the feeling i was looking for.
So I looked back a Goldfrapp's TOU. It was beautiful, warm, emotive, sexy ... but it just wasn't as exciting as this other thing giving me a lustful look across the room :-/. Maybe it's just bad timing. I still love Frapp soo much... but i just want to go and have crazy, mad, music love with this...
Stranger..........it is like Al is singing directly into my ear.

I'm sat at work with TOU in my headphones, sipping my miso and feeling a million miles away from the desk in front of me.
That's when I know an album is really working for me - I don't conciously zone out but just get taken there instead. I realise I'm a number of tracks in and I'm invested in the stories and the moods and then look up and realise the time that has passed.
A million fires before your harvest comes. To burn out. Wear the mask of a heathen. For the moon's lonely eyes.
