Alice

[watchlar]

it really is one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard in my life...

[Hale]

I love the very classical sensibility of the arrangement. I could probably listen to a whole album of songs in this vein, actually.

[Phil Lawton]

I'd really like it, but Liz does that really horrible, low, Nina Simone-esuqe vibrato thing all over it.

Agree that Watchy. Would have been a great album opener.

I love this name. Alice... Alicia...

[Baddy2shoos]

i love it apart from the fact there is too much going on in that song too much layering but i love it when Liz sings low!!

[Adam]

Alice? Who's the fuck is Alice?!

[Phil Lawton]

Adam

Only the people here in the UK will get that, but I salute you for your grasp of the British novelty-record scene.

Now shaddap-a you face.

what....too much layering?

bah! never!

in my ultimate CT-land, there's no such thing.

my motto:

hey, throw another layer on there, please!

ah, the thrill of it....

I like Alice, but is so sad and slow to listen to at times, so rarely play it.

[Baddy2shoos]

primitive heart and three swept are my faves this week!

[E-Lo]

I LOVE primitive heart

I really think it was the best thing to come out of the M&K era sessions!

[Baddy2shoos]

someone who actually agrees with me hallelujah!

[Baddy2shoos]

best songs at the mo has to be Tip-Toe by Goldfrapp and Original by Leftfield(i know its an old one but hey!)

Most amusing Adam! :cool:

alice makes me cry

alice is quite a powerful track, to be sure.

all the vocal layering is intelligent and beautifully performed.. the piano is wonderfully atmospheric.. and i love the way the guitar just sort of shimmers away behind it all.
it's just a very nicely constructed and executed song.

but i think the tishbite/violaine EP sets contain many good songs!
