Imogen Heap - Ellipse

[JBLoudG20]

In the spirit of the Regina Spektor thread, I though I would give a heads up.

Immy has a new album to be released (according to Amazon) on August 3.

Amazon.com: Ellipse: Imogen Heap: Music

Of course, I have it preordered

[falkon]

Same. Been looking forward to this for a few years now. From what little's been revealed, it should be quite good. Looking forward to that "little bird" track. I have a feeling it might be a tad bit too mainstream, though.

[strid3r]

I had no idea about this one. Thanks for the heads up!

[n_maher]

I've been watching for this for a while as well and was actually on her site last night looking for the release date and it was less than obvious.

[falkon]

The release's been pushed back about 4 times now.

Sept. 08, Dec. 08, April/May, June/July, and now August 4th. This one seems more official since she's actually finished the album earlier this month but it was still from her blog. Not sure if this was confirmed by RCA.

[JBLoudG20]

Yeah I've followed it for a long time. Hopefully this release date will be the correct one

[JBLoudG20]

I just got notification from Amazon due to my preorder, that the release date moved back to September 8-September 14.

[falkon]

yeah.. that's just dogshit

[JBLoudG20]

Everywhere I read the new date as August 25. I think Amazon was just warning me of the new dates I'll actually receive it.

[falkon]

How are you guys liking this?

[grawk]

thanks for the reminder, I heard her interview on NPR the other day, and want this bad

[Voltron]

I like it and just bought the deluxe version for my wife for her birthday. Need to listen more but it is definitely good.

Nice.

[falkon]

First Train Home, Tidal, and Between Sheets are probably my favorites.

[Deadneddz]

Shes so talented imo, watching/listening to some of her live videos give me goosebumps. Shes wonderful in Frou Frou also.

[Dusty Chalk]

Monome, I want one, or 3. Or more.

[skullguise]

Have never really got into her, though I had often heard OF her; but checked out the latest, and it's pretty nice....any order of recommendation for prior material?

[falkon]

Speak for Yourself is definitely the easiest to get into.

[n_maher]

While I like the new album it has yet to grab me like some of her other work has.

[Voltron]

While I like the new album it has yet to grab me like some of her other work has.

Same here, but it still may. Claire has the CDs now (instrumental disc in the deluxe set) so I can play it on the home system rather than just Rhapsody at work.

[Dusty Chalk]

Ooh, I like this new trend of instrumental versions of disks (Dream Theater also did so on their most recent).

[jinp6301]

Good for practicing Karaoke!

[Dusty Chalk]

Or just listening to without being distracted by the vocals/lyrics.

She also appeared on TED recently.... Imogen Heap plays "Wait It Out" | Video on TED.com

I'm currently headphoneless while my new cans are in transit, but I'm enjoying her new album as much as you can on a pair of computer speakers. But like n_maher said, it has yet to make me feel quite like Hide and Seek did the first time I heard it. We'll see once the my shipment arrives next week. The instrumental CD has been great for homework though.

You guys know of her Frou Frou work as well right?
