Considering that Ellipse's release comes four years after Imogen Heap released Speak for Yourself, it might seem that four years is a long time to wait for an album. However, if you consider that Speak for Yourself was released a whole seven years after Heap's debut, I Megaphone, fans should just be happy the album is coming out before 2012, and is thus coming out at all, since 3 years from hence will be the time of the end. Seriously, Heap is a notoriously idiosyncratic artist, and it should be interesting to hear how four years of stacked-up idiosyncracy plays out over the course of Ellipse.
