Alright, here's the fixed version with all the tracks!

Well, now that it's streaming... and soon to be out on CD...
What's your favorite track so far? Oh, sure it's bound to change, but just on the first listen - what jumped out and hit you right on the nose?

I know it's not easy, but go with your gut. Smile


Me, I'm going with 2-1. It's beautiful.

Fine! Wait it Out. But that's likely to change within minutes.

I know! We should do a one month check-up after the album has been out a while. Or even actually out.

Swoon is my favorite as of now because I'm currently listening to it.....and once Tidal starts up that'll most likely be my favorite. And so on, and so on, and so on.

maybe. it might actually get her some radioplay for once.
(not that that's what she's even aiming for, but it seems like a song alot of people would like)

Earth actually. Then definitely 2-1, which will eternally be Polyfilla in my mind.

Definatly "A-ha". It turned out so different than I thought it would. I love the multiple layers in the song, and the creepy eerie feeling it has. And a surprise ending that doesn't really fit the song, but fits amazingly at the same time..I love it!Very Happy

Canvas. Everything else took about three times listening to really sink in. But Canvas? First couple seconds and I was sitting there with wide eyes going, "Wow." It was one of the ones I was really looking forward to too. : D

canvas is still my favorite, but between sheets and first train home are special, as they mean the same to me as they did to immi as she wrote them.

Wait It Out is now officially my favourite Imogen Heap song, with Half-Life and Canvas not far behind.

Earth, Little Bird, Swoon and Tidal are even better than I had expected from the previews.

BBD, Aha, Between Sheets and The Fire are about what I expected.

I'm still undecided about 2-1. As Immi herself was so pleased with it, I was expecting it to be a high point of the album, but it hasn't yet knocked me out. It may be a slow 'grower'. Also, I need a good lyric sheet so that I can work out what it is all about.

"Bad Body Double" is so much more than I thought it would be! It's so funky and beautiful and cool, I love it!!!

bad body double won me over so fast it's not even funny! It was my pick for favorite ever since that 12 seconds of imogen spinning around to it Very Happy
close seconds are swoon and 2-1, but wait it out and between sheets really surprised me, they're fantastic!

I love the sort of climax of 2-1 where it sort of breaks out, kinda like the midsection of Headlock.

On the first listen Aha! definitely grabbed me as exceptional. Now that I listened to the album a couple of times I must say that 2-1 is quite spectacular as well. When I first heard Canvas I was blown away as well. In the long run, 2-1 will probably come out on top. Smile

Right now it's Little Bird, just because it turned out to be so much more than I thought it would be. Was kinda expecting this charming little ditty about a bird or whatnot, which it still certainly is, but there's this underlying menacing darkness to it, too Smile

I'm thinking it's only because everyone has already this and listened to it 100+ times Laughing It would have probably been my favorite if I hadn't already heard... in fact I still think its one of my faves... it's so much different than I expected it to be!

Tidal and Swoon are my current favourites.

Anyone else noticed that Imogen took out the part where Ashwin was suppose to sing? I thought it rather surprising considering it's in the album trailer and all...oh well, it still sounds amazing.

Half Life made me cry...

I love Swoon and Tidal... but the whole album is actually excellent !
