Either she or the other half of Frou Frou is using a harmonizer as an effect on this track. Certainly not autotuning because she can't sing.
Imogen's an amazing singer. Check her other tracks- on this or her solo albums. Also- she got a grammy for solo-producing her own album last year. She knows the sound she wants and how to get it.

I know what you mean.  I didn't know she was in this group.  This is why I listen to RP.

BTW, I do have a lot of time on my hands at the momemt.

 
Deep Blue Day is one of my Eno favorites and, yes, you can definitely say that's Eno's "homage" to country music inasmuch as that's the only Eno composition I'm aware of where the pedal steel is used and the country-like chord structures are present.  At around 1:20 in you can start to pick up the "country" vibe and then at around 2:10 the chord changes and pedal steel really come alive.

And I hope you've found something to do by now...  Wink

Hmmm, I have listened to this song and especially Apollo many times, I did not notice it before.  I did just hear what you mean, not sure though, that was pretty brief.  I think for another comparison listen to "Deep Blue Day" and then Madrugada's "The Lost Gospel" which is frequently played here.  They have the same guitars almost.  I read recently that Deep Blue Day is Eno's take on Country Music.  This had never occurred to me before, but it makes sense now.

Wow.  First time hearing this - instant 9.  It's so powerful, and her vocals are chillingly good. {#Sunny}

Wikipedia answers the Eno drama queens:

"The track "An Ending (Ascent)" was sampled in the song "Hear Me Out" by the group Frou Frou, and has been used in several films, such as Traffic and 28 Days Later"

Yeah... I was about to grab my Eno album but checked the comments first... Pretty blatant snag of a classic Eno tune... I like Frou Frou though. :)

thought it was a little "Cranberryish" at first - got more distinctive with time (maybe a touch of Sia as well). Not bad...

There are only two songs ("Shh" and "Psychobabble") in "Details" that I could say I don't like. The rest rate from very nice (this one) to awesome ("Flicks").

As another RPlander said, "Frou Frou makes me happy"

I normally hate the manufactured, souless electronica of this Euro-pop kind of genre. But man something about Frou Frou does it for me. Great record, great song.
