Bethnal Green WMC is a fantastic place isn't it. A strange timewarped gem in the middle of rough London. I've filmed several things there including the Utah Saints Something Good '08 video there.

More thoughts on this record? I really liked her first and am curious what forum members think of this one before I hand-over my $10 bucks

It's a really good album, it seems to have gotten lukewarm reviews but I think it's better than her first album. She just seems to have lost steam with the public, like she's been forgotten before she had a chance with a second album.

Best song is Crescendo, easily the best one, that should be a single.

I preordered from the Vinyl Factory and after seeing the lukewarm reviews and having it storm the charts at number 45 (!) i was worried. However, the reviews are completely wrong. It's a superb, warm work of pop electronica (poptronica?). Yes, there isn't a nailed on Top 10 on there, but actually, it's better for it. Goldfrapp in parts, Royksopp in others.

Where are these available?!
Broken Record (Tim G Dub) - Beatport download
Broken Record (Nocturnal Version) aka Extended - Ltd 12"
Strangers (Nocturnal Version) aka Extended - Ltd 12"
Say A Prayer (Tensnake Remix) - like an extended disco dub - 12"/download
Headphones - find it online / download
Headphones (LB Edit) - free Soundcloud download
Hush - Japanese bonus track

There are more...but these are must-haves. You have to seek them out because very little has appeared on CDR/promo

There are also the original dub and instrumental for Shake - if you find them, then I'd appreciate a pm.

If anyone is into this album /Little Boots, you should also seek out the leaked 'Beat Of Your Heart' album that was scrapped and replaced with Nocturnes. It has 16 tracks that are (99%) great and give it a little more pop edge (Saint Etienne/Kylie)

...and find Headphones (Dimitri From Paris Dub) for the full 80s disco/dance experience (Madonna style)

Quite right. I don't know why the Beat of your hear album was scrapped. It's really good - as good as Nocturnes, IMHO - and there's one song called Pulse that's addictive. Pure fun disco. And the Dimitri from Paris mixes of Headphones are ace.
