    The change of pace that Thea takes us on is a perfect interlude between the more introspective pieces, beautiful as they all are. That heathaze of sound throughout..............sigh.

    I must admit I was a bit worried about the idea of a change of pace in the middle of such a focussed album but it works, and works well. After a few listens it fits very naturally and becomes subsumed into the whole.

    Thea had the most immediate impact on me. At the moment it is my fave track, but I know it won't stay that way. In a few months, or even a year later, it will be something else.
    I hope that you die in a decent pair of shoes
    You got a lot more walking to do where you're going to.

    My favorite song on the album, and up there with my favorite Goldfrapp songs of all time.
    I listened to it on my friends big sound system and it is killer.
    I would die and go to heaven if they played it tonight at Beacon.

    Such a masterpiece.
    Instantly became one of my all time favourites of the band.
    It has an indescribeable sound and atmosphere which isnpires me so much that I already had to get out of me so, here's my artwork for 'Thea', I hope you like it!

    Lee
    AND the elusive registered C-Tune which is not listed as being released anywhere but was recorded and registered at ASCAP after Lee in the tracklisting. C-Tune is the ultimate TOU mystery...

    Agreed. At least Lee is a name. How does C-Tune fit into the ToU era? What was it inspired by? What does it sound like?
    Question which we will probably never have answered.

    C-Tune? Perhaps, an embarrassing sojourn in the rap genre.
    If I were dead, could I do this?
