    No, I'm not sure what the confirmed name for it is yet but I'm starting a thread for that third clip from the trailer. Once we know I'll edit the title.

    The way Alison sings the words "aaaancient staaaars" make me tingle like a very lovely thing indeed.

    If a great Goldfrapp album is made up of lots of tiny shining moments then this is going to be one of them without a doubt.

    It's gorgeous, that bit, and I'm seeing 'Laurel' appear twice during the song. Does she sing, 

    "Your deep sea eyes,
    Ancient stars."

    ?

    I did wonder that as it shows a character writing "Clay" but that seemed too obvious.

    Didn't want to take the chance of saying that and then finding out it wasn't! :D

    "Your deep sea eyes,
    Ancient stars."

    Is it "deep sea eyes" or "gypsy eyes"? I heard gypsy eyes first, but i can hear deep sea eyes too.

    I hear 'Deep sea eyes' have repeated it about five times and can still only hear it as that??? Sits waiting to be proven wrong... :)

    Anyone know how to 'grab' the audio of teaser - I fancy driving myself delirious with it on repeat while out & about @-)

    It's my least favourite snippet in the trailer, so I could just see it ironically becoming one of my favourites on the album when I hear it in full :P
    Hard to tell from a snippet that I'm not even sure lasts 10 seconds, ya know?

    Ah, it was Clay then - thanks for that.

    I can now make the thread title something a touch less than horribly vague.

    Needless to say, this album is shaping up to be a true return to form. Still wish the cover was a portrait instead of a shot taken from far away. (OCD)

    I just had a thought, how cool would it be if, as promo, Frapp-team would make the album characters 'alive' and put them somewhere in the web so we could learn more about them while waiting for the album. Like their blogs or maybe even them as forum users? As it happened with characters of Tori Amos' American Doll Posse. I think the Tails Of Us story would be much more entertaining than ADP.
    Anyway, that's just my imagination)
