hey people,
so after watching Garden State and subsequently buying the soundtrack...i discovered this artist Frou Frou...which is fantastic. i would have to describe it as Bjork vs Dido in style. so if you like either of those artists...i'd put money on you liking this chick. its good stuff...check it out if you don't know who i'm talking about. and for those of you that saw garden state...you'll recognize the song immediately :)
so anyone else like this chick? |

I have not watched this movie but I have heard many good things of the use of this song in the trailer.
I like Imogen Heap's voice. Her songwriting and production partner in this, Guy Sigsworth, is a man I admire because of his eclectic approach to pop music. He believes in the power of catchy melodies and riffs but has an interesting take on sound design as you can hear -- and he has quite a few inquisitive ideas regarding the future of "pop music" as well. Interesting that you note Bjork, because Guy has also collaborated with her, and Madonna, and Britney.
I really, really enjoyed Frou Frou's version of "Holding Out For a Hero" on the Shrek 2 soundtrack.
Fantastic interview with GS from awhile back... it is technical but has some choice quotes, like:
| quote: | | "...And so I think with any new technology, you're always looking for the errors or the flaws or the idiosyncracies of the thing, the accidental properties that might turn out to be features. After all, guitar distortion is a mistake, but it's one that we now can't live without. |

"Detials" is one of my favirote albums. I don't have many favirote album's (five including "Details").
I don't think a remix could do justice to any original production of theirs. There has been some, but not one to match up to original's.. At least not yet. The album still holds five stars on amazon as well as being acclaimed criticly since it's release.
Last time I heard, they were planing on putting some material which didn't make it onto the album on i-tunes. I heard a clip of "Deal With It", one of those. Definitly will be purchasing the other's when they're out.
Only other original material of them together out at the moment is "Close Up" which can be heard on the "Breath In" single and "Holding Out For A Hero" which is on the Shrek 2 soundtrack.
Hope I could be some help.

| Details was a great album. I saw them live and was really impressed with their show. I've recently heard a 1 or 2 new tracks from them... hopefully a new album will be coming out |
