Goldfrapp - Tales Of Us








There is some beautiful stuff on here. I haven't quite decided yet though where I would rank it among their other albums. What does everyone else think about it?

Frustrating! I played the video and stepped away and tried to listen while making a sandwich. I made a whole sandwich and I came back and it was still birds chirping!! *BROWSER MURKED*

I can't imagine the two minutes sound effects I could expect from a bunch of nekkid people!

I haven't even listened to it all yet, but I'm already ranking it ahead of all the other albums eek

But each album suits a different mood. I'm melancholy and teary so this is just perfect. The master says it's depressing rolleyes

I have Drew on repeat it is sooooo beautiful.

I think I might even have to take Daft Punk out of the CD player and put this in for the next 4 months boxed

I'm the mistake you wanna make

Even though I thought she was great when I saw her last year, I'm passing this time around. I used up all my gig allowance for the Goldfrapp show tonight.

I've listened to it a few times, but the whole thing hasn't sunk in yet. I need some quality time alone with it without any distractions.

I listened to it over and over while I worked and I've got to the stage where I'm craving the chord progressions.

I've bought it, but not played it yet for that reason.. I'll probably listen to this week, but it more than likely won't get any real play from me until the days start getting shorter, and I really want to feel somber

If you will, so will I

Not this year at least. For the remainder of 2013 they are touring Europe and Australia.

If they were to do a proper North American tour next year, I doubt the orchestra and choir would come along. For this NYC show, both the orchestra and choir were hired locals.
