If ANYONE knows where to find one of these, please share! Is this what we get for pre-ordering the cd/vinyl with the postcards and/or art prints??? I must have one. It's so awesome looking: https://www.instagram.com/p/BR6GSqrlwX3/?tagged=goldfr…

Clip of Ocean, featuring the smartest implementation of strobe lighting in the history of the band's live performances: https://twitter.com/ChrisPaynter1/status/844006592496439296 It's everything I hoped the live version would be like. Ple…

That priority shit needs to stop. Why can't we all just pay the same price for the same types of tickets, and at the same time? No presales, priority things and other crap. Just put the tix on sale from ONE source, and people buy them. No stres…

A bit of Anymore (with Alison headbanging, always a treat). Notice the glam-rock guitar backing similar to what they do to live versions of Strict Machine. Sounds different to me from the studio recording: https://twitter.com/katysbox/status/8439516…

One of their best setlists in years. Any other video links? Dying to hear the new tracks.

Holy shit. THEY DID DREAMING. Oh, PLEASE tour Canada. Vancouver, even. Don't care. I'll fly. Please.

Damn, could have sworn it was going on 9pm there! That's what I get for half-consciously checking the time zone difference between Canada and the U.K! Ticket snafus aside, everyone going do enjoy the show - it's the birth of era #7 and I c…

Seeing something about it on Twitter (which I'm following intently as there's no periscope streams or anything :( ). What's going on? Wasn't the show supposed to start an hour ago almost? (Though I could be wrong)

Anyone going who's planning on uploading to YouTube? I wish I could cross the Atlantic to be there, but alas not in the cards for me right now. Many thanks in advance.

I did as well. Didn't hesitate to slap down the money for the clear vinyl and signed cd. Wish they'd have released a proper deluxe edition like the gorgeous ToU one I have (signed by A+W!) but oh well.Perhaps in the near future. I'm s…

I damn well hope my vinyl arrives this week, then! What's the point of pre-ordering when you can just walk into a store two weeks before launch and grab the clear vinyl? sigh...

Anything happening with the vinyl reissues rumored a while back?
Discogs is great. Never had much luck finding the studio albums, but did nab Lovely Head and Human on vinyl for $6 each, among countless other singles and rarities for a pittance. I'd like to agree that the reissues could have a positive effect…

Anything happening with the vinyl reissues rumored a while back?
I've only Seventh Tree and Felt Mountain left to find on vinyl (utter hell thanks to the stupid RSD version), but I think it's likely that the band is waiting on Silver Eye to perform well and for some more interest to be generated in thei…

That's such a striking, imposing image — I'm guessing it's the poster insert for the vinyl. I love her photography so very much. It deserves as much recognition as the music. The millisecond she announces a coffee table book of her ph…

Silver Eye reviews
Agreed. Finally a reviewer that respects the music AND the band, and isn't just trying to churn out one more piece to meet a deadline. Very thoughtfully written. "A subtle, often wicked subversion of the familiar." Now that is how you…

March 31st, so two weeks from Friday at midnight. We're getting there. I'd imagine any pre-ordered physical copies will be dispatched within a week at most. Hopefully some of us get ours a little early!

Perhaps this is a hint at the singles? Systemagic, Ocean and Anymore would be the absolute BEST choices for singles and recipients of music videos (though I hope this era gets more than three!). Not sure why else they would share Systemagic's l…

Ocean
Got my email with the download as well. Very exciting! It's also featured in iTunes Canada's "Hot Tracks", so maybe it'll get more widespread promo (though, Anymore certainly did better than the whole of Tales of Us). I just…

Stupid is the word for that review, really! It's clear that some writers in the business have yet to find their calling... or common sense, really. Oh well, at least I can find solace within the TRON-esque explosive beats of "Ocean"!

The most ignorant, petty and self-servicing music review I have read in recent memory, and I'm a writer / reviewer myself. A textbook example of how not to do it, and it has nothing to do with whether they liked the album or not, I can assure y…

Ocean
EXACTLY what I hoped the rest of it would sound like, although I'd kill for just one more complete chorus at the end. This was an awesome decision, choosing "Ocean". The electronica festivals around the world and major promoters will …

Agreed. I sincerely hope it doesn't leak, but given the upbeat energy of the album and popularity of such releases by the band, I won't hold my breath. But yeah, now really is the time for the next single. I'm 99% sure it'll be S…

Wonder if the next single is coming out soon? Also, TV appearances, etc. I'm sure this thing is going to leak within a week at most, so it surely can't be long now.

Her love for Tomorrow's Harvest by Boards of Canada makes me smile when I see the same record in my vinyl collection. This woman values atmospherics.

I hope my pre-order arrives a couple days in advance as well! Ordered the clear vinyl and signed cd, and I find that typically orders from the U.K to Canada arrive here very quickly. Perhaps orders of multiple items would be prioritized?

I believe Halloween Jack does, but I'm not 100% certain. I did have the clips, but lost them in my typical OCD manner of cleaning out my hard drive of course (I keep getting requests and feel so stupid for not having them anymore, lol!).

All About Will
Yay! Good to see him. Hopefully they include this pic in the album booklet or on the vinyl sleeve as per tradition (sans Tales of Us).

I love the minimalist, makeup-free look on her, but for crying out loud please lose the condom-esque headscarf and let that gorgeous fiery hairdo flow freely. Also, love how her latest tweet (https://twitter.com/goldfrapp/status/835808414903255041) …

Someone find Stevie Nicks and tell her this. Please. I simply must have a copy of "Forest of the Black Roses" in high quality before I die!
