Maurice Fulton remix!

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate that but I love the vocal. is the original vocal as sleepy?

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh dear - I think I must be far too attached to the song to hear that done to it.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 25 November 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

This album is brilliant. That is all.

ok, listening to 'heartbeat' for the first time I think I finally get it.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 27 November 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It's all about the "I won't forget the greatest times I had when I was dancing with you".

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

It's all about love, beauty and craft.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Woodcraft?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a Trojan.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Horse. Trojan Horse. Like, you admire the fine work and the mystery, not realising til it's too late that there are lots of beating hearts inside.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I spotted them almost instantly. I should totally have been a Trojan horse inspector. History might have been so different.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Are there horse inspectors?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

the maurice fulton remix is too snuffbox-porny for my tastes

― NBS, Saturday, 27 November 2004 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Great fucking album.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Sunday, 28 November 2004 04:35 (twenty-one years ago)

"Annie sounds so deliciously Norwegian you could use her to hunt whales"

so sayeth an Amazon.co.uk review!

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 28 November 2004 07:23 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

is this LP 'out' in the strictest sense? i saw it in fopp (£15) but never in hmv, and on amazon they say 7 march.

― Miles Finch, Thursday, 13 January 2005 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

it snuck out last year with zero promotion, but when the single didn't conquer the known world (ie London and UK radio) 679 shelved all hopes of a sleeper hit and quietly withdrew it again. It's being replugged on the back of "Heartbeat" as of, uh, around now I guess.

Here's her producer Timo (no reason, just like the picture): http://www.radiohelsinki.fi/valokuvia/timocrop.JPG

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 13 January 2005 10:05 (twenty-one years ago)

the autumn 2004 issue seems to have been an extremely low-key and limited release (due to "chewing gum" only making #25) but 12"s of "my heartbeat" are circulating so it's likely that'll be out as a single first followed by the album release proper.

i suspect that all the copies in london record shops at the time of the first release were bought without exception by ilxors!

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 13 January 2005 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

wot a lovely thread. so, this was ILM in 2004. not so bad.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 13 January 2005 10:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Too little love for "Always Too Late"! BTW, the release phases of this album baffles me -- it's already been marked down by the chains here in Norway, actually.

Translation trivia: "mindre tilgjengelig" = "less accessible".

― OleM (OleM), Thursday, 13 January 2005 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

That Fulton remix bites.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

so is this where i get cheeky and ask someone to gmail me the whole damn album except for "chewing gum" and "heartbeat"?

yes, i think it is!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I can do that.

― ana (ana), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

GIVE ME THE BRAXE REMIX ALREADY (anyone?)

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

BTW, "Heartbeat" video is up on the official site.

― ana (ana), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

David Fincher's gone back to basics, I see.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

aw bless 'er, cool video - won't blow minds but fits the song just fine

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(chart prediction: twentyfuckingthree) - at the very least Radio 2 should be all over it if not 1

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

is nice

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Heartbeat should've been the single in the first place. This and Greatest Hit, er, bust Chewing Gum's bubble

― asl, Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm probably the only one who loves the Braxe and Royskopp mixes of "Heartbeat" more than the original. For some reason, I just feel the album version never takes off. I think the tight/stomping drums play a big part in why it feels so grounded to me, while both remixes frame the melody with this type of levity which makes me understand a little better why people love the song to death.

Also, I've just heard the original "I Will Get On" and it is excellent. Should have been on the album!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

somebody yousendit the braxe mix!

please

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

that link won't work for me : (

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 14 January 2005 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, yousendit seems to be down

should be working later on

― ana (ana), Friday, 14 January 2005 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

That's quite an improvement on the Fulton - basically, it's the Daft Punk 'Take Me Out' mix for the tweemotional party set ie just enough tweaking and re-editing to work in a club, and deceptive for what it is. The drums have been softened for the Scots-indie fans way up top.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Friday, 14 January 2005 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I wasn't too keen on the Fulton or Royksopp remixes but this Braxe one gets it so right. Retains the bitter-sweetness but stretches it out into the daziness the original mix has to pull back on in the interests of pop.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 14 January 2005 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually - the Röyksopp one is pretty good. It just takes a bit of getting used to.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 14 January 2005 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Missed this last year:

Chewing Gum (FakeID Juicy Fruit Mix).

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned OTM re: Chewing Gum > Heartbeat but both still godlike k thx bye.

― Richard C (avoid80), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ana I kiss you! Whoever you are...

Good pop album innit? If you like Girls Aloud. Which I do.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

A short interview here.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

can i ask someone from sweden/russia a question if it's off topic,annie from norway might be able to get army of lovers dvd when it's released in mayoff topic la camilla from army of lovers hosted 7th heaven and read french storeis - i would pay euro 50 for video of these night show stories

― la camilla bf, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I really do love that Braxe remix. I was listening to it yesterday and started dreaming that the new "Technique part ii" New Order album would sound like that but with more new ordery drum patterns.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

She was checked as a hot new thing for 2005 by both OMM and Time Out, but both of them are calling the album Anniemal, but the copy I have is just called Annie.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Need to hear this Royksopp one.

Annamal, that's weeeeiirrd.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i hear a version will be released in an ENAMEL case. with leopardskin trim.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)
