highly recommended

2002 debut album for duo comprised of musician/vocalist Imogen Heap & producer/arranger/songwriter/musician Guy Sigsworth (who's worked with Bjork on 'Homogenic' & 'Vespertine' & Madonna on 'What It Feels Like for a Girl').

Imogen's a genius

I actually got Imogen Heaps solo album before I got this one and I liked it so much I went back to listen to Frou Frou. It's fantastic work. No second guessed attempts. I love music that has lots going on at once. I have a fairly stout Polk set up and if you care about all the ranges, her music will employ a good system. Great stuff.

A Modern Masterpiece

In the few months since I've gotten Frou Frou's Details, it has become one of my absolute favorite albums (along with Imogen Heap's Speak For Yourself). It's some of the most calming music I've ever heard; it's technically and musically superb.

1. Let Go
This was the first Imogen Heap song I've ever heard and from the get-go I was researching her and trying to find anything I could. This song is nothing short of amazing; my favorite part being the sweeping outro (what instrument is that anyway). I love this song.
5/5

2. Breathe In
Another great song. These lyrics are just great, and the beat, my god, Imogen and Guy Sigsworth are so good at making beats on this album.
5/5

3. It's Good to Be in Love
I cannot get tired of this song. I just love it to death; it's gotta be in my top 3 favorites for this album, and possibly my top 5 for all Imogen songs. It's just so good.
5/5

4. Must Be Dreaming
From the guitar intro till the end, this is a great song. The fast pace mixed with Imogen's sweeping vocals make this song.
5/5

5. Psychobabble
Never, I say NEVER skip this song; it's quite amazing. The large scope of this song, and the breathtaking bridge, are things not to be missed.
5/5

6. Only Got One
After the dark Psychobabble, this is one of the more upbeat songs on this record. It's so good, but not quiiiiite up there with the previous five. It's still great though, don't get me wrong. Listen to it.
4.5/5

7. Shh
And the hits keep coming; Shh was one of my favorites from the get go. The guitar melodies, and the rest of the music...you shouldn't skip this song at all.
5/5

8. Hear Me Out
I love this song. Simply put. There's nothing else I could possibly say about it other than don't forget to listen to it.
5/5

9. Maddening Shroud
After the wonderful 8 previous songs, this is kind of a downer. It's also much more musically simple than the previous songs; for example, the intro is just the A scale backwards; kinda cheap. It's not a bad song my any means, but I think this should've been a b-side and Old Piano or Deal With It (better yet, both!) should've been in it's place.
3.5/5

10. Flicks
Now we're back. This is a great song, if a bit repeditive. I heard it was their very first song; what a great first song indeed.
4.5/5

11. The Dumbing Down of Love
While it is kind of out of place, I think, that they choose to end the album on such a depressing song, that takes nothing away from how exceptional this song is. Just listen to it.
5/5

The only flaws of this album I can find is Maddening Shroud and the absences of Old Piano and Deal With It; but still, please buy this album; you'll find it more than worth your time.

Love the CD!!

I love this cd!! My first introduction to Frou Frou was from The Holiday movie. It has turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

FM Radio Whammy

This is one of those, WHO IS THIS, I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT!!! Reviews.

Being a person afflicted with a sensitivity to the type of music presented here by "Frou Frou", I can only say that the music and lyrics of this compilation struck a cord in a positive way.

All star support engineering and production line up mated up well to produce a winning compilation with the artist!!!

Shortly stated this is in my top 10 frequently played list for 2008.

Highly recommended for those who are wondering.
