I presume the "Moog Remix" is Goldfrapp themselves??

i hope so as well. i've always preferred their versions to virtually every remix (except maybe the ewan pearson ones) so yeah i really hope this is true. when was the last time they remixed their own work? strict machine we are glitter?

Davide's Believer reinterpretation.

Sugar coat things how you please, fact is if thats it then we're paying through the nose for not one but two incomplete by a good margin collections of material.

Well, you don't have to buy it if you don't want, I'm still looking forward to it, sugar and all! :)

I DO want it, i want it to be worth the asking price, i don't want to be given a third of the content available with the reasoning being just because :-q

I'm just happy there's a new track hahaha

It seems a bit queer to me.

I'm happy with it, as a limited edition item, it'll obviously have a high cost to it to make but that's neither here or there to me , it'll have a "new shiny thing" tactileness to it (rubbing my cheek on it and purring like a cat) . I'm happy with what I am getting within the boxy thingy and not looking at what I'm not getting.

Disappointed that there's only 1 new track. Disappointed that the full Manchester show (at least the Tales portion) isn't included. Disappointed that only 2 of the 5 films are on the DVD. Disappointed, disappointed, disappointed.

+1

- Why not include all videos? Lord knows I paid close to € 100,00 for it. And it's released later. Time enough to run the videos at cinemas before collecting them in the (VERY expensive) Deluxe Box.

- Why not include C-Tune as well? Where did it disappear off to? There will be no singles.. no C-Tune then.

This box as is is seriously worth half the asking price.

I am glad there is at least Lee. In my case I guess compared to the regular edition I paid about € 90,- for one non album track I hoped for.

People seem to be forgetting the vinyl, the normal cd, the 40 page book, the print etc. The bonus cd is only one part of the deluxe set and the dvd one other part. The cost is for all of it.

Although the disc contents were not known we all knew the basic breakdown of the full package and made a choice to buy blind or not. If you were only bothered about the bonus disc(s) or wanted some specific thing on the dvd then there was always a chance you may or may not get that thing. That was the choice in ordering early, late or not at all.

I'm not defending or excusing what is or isn't in it as what I wanted from it is most likely not what others wanted (a nice package and a gorgeous book and I'll be v happy) but I am saying that we chose to slap money down blind and that's on our individual heads.

If you've pre-ordered and you don;t like what contents you're seeing or you perceive the cost/value ratio to not meet what you were expecting then cancel your order. No cost. No disappointment. No losers.

To the avoidance of doubt, that's not all said in any sort of sarcastic or off-hand tone but more a verbal shrug of thinking outloud.

I personally think this is the content SO FAR. So there will hopefully be all the others films on that DVD and more tracks on that Bonus Disc. Otherwise where's the sense in creating a DVD/CD with only about 5 tracks on it?

As they say there will be more updates soon. It's still being compiled and created as we speak.
Here's hoping. ;)

You're so right. Alot of people seemed to have missed the line in the email stating there will be FUTURE UPDATES AND NEWS. It would be simply senseless to not include all 5 videos on the dvd. Remember these were shot ages ago before we even knew the album's name. There's more planned... I can feel it.

Personally I feel that we'll get the Manchester show video on the dvd if not song clips. There was a proper reason for those cameras to be there. Personally I'm thankful for the B-side (Lee), as well as high quality audio of the Manc. shows.

Stay tuned Frappers, and be thankful that Alison and co. were kind enough to assemble this special treat for us loyal fans. :o)

I'd also point out that the DVD was only ever originally listed as the 5.1 version(s) in the initial store run down. Nothing about there being any video on there at all. It's our expectations that the Manc gigs or the film or whatever would be great to have on there - not like they ever promised this then pulled it away.

The lovely Mr Sausa.....er...Tweety had this thought for the contents too:-

..........and it seems that the use of gig footage is not confirmed. the extra disc is just the album in 5.1. is that right?

Yes, I'd have also loved one of the two gigs in full on there but it's just one of those things - it was never listed and isn't on it. That's fair, really, in the grand scheme of things.

Low

If all of the album films were added as well as C-Tune, I'd have next to no complaints.

Dreeke

Tiny bit disappointed. But that's just me wanting to relive those Manchester shows.
Hope we get a chance to see those recordings some day.

Agree with Carpy that it's still the box I decided to order.
It's an awesome album, I'm really happy I'm going to have this special edition.

Danick

Hi all! I'm relatively quiet around here but a huge Gfrapp fan. I want to add that a 5.1 version of an album is great fun if you have a surround sound system! Takes a fave record to a whole new level. Freaks the cats out, though. $100 worth of fun? No, but I'm pleased w/what's announced so far and hopeful for all 5 films. And this book...! We know Allison's quite the photographer, after all!

Allison

anyway ;)

it occurs to me that only listing drew and annabel (so far) might just be hiding which videos are forthcoming. it doesn't make any sense not to have all 5 included. i'm sure it will.

also the notice says "will include" not "consists of." i agree w/ those saying there'll be more to come. idk, it doesn't really bother me since i haven't ordered the box and likely will never own it, but i think people are jumping the gun slightly with their disappointment

aw who am i kidding, people will be disappointed when it doesn't include ten hours of recordings of alison's vocal exercises :P

Howdy, Stranger!
