I think we already got the complete tracklist. It isn't confirmed, but since management got onto us for posting the list when it was leaked, I assume it was real. "The Marching Line" is another one.
This is a very interesting article. I like the analogue thing, but I hope the whole album doesn't sound "cheap," since she said she was going back to her demon days (those songs definitely sounded cheap). And the instrumental for "In the End" is the "Tall Tales For Spring" instrumental slowed down? How ingenious... 
We share the same concern =\ I hope the Carousel samples are low quality and not the real McCoy, does analog recording sound more tinny than normal recording?
I don't know whether it does or not, but I hope not. 
Like that Doves guy said, no one records on that format anymore. Maybe there's a reason for that.
I think you get a whole different sound with the analog. I think that is what she was going for. I'm not sure she would do something "cheap" but if it sounds that way on the album then there is a creative reason for it. I trust that it will sound JUST how she wants it to. So if she wants me to hear it that way, then I embrace that completely.
I was interested about the In the End bit as well.
For me, BNN served it's purpose for me very well at the time. There are only specific moods that I have to be in for me to go back to it. I actually skip over ATM, OD, PB (because the version I have now is the new one) not because they are bad or I don't like them, but because they've been defiled by the general public. Lately I have been in that mood because the other two albums are too produced sounding for what I want these days, that is why I am so excited for this album because it seems like it will be really raw and mostly just V and the piano which I long for. BNN has less percussion and involvement of other instruments not in the string family.
I KNOW you get a different sound with analog(in this case, it's 2" wide tape) because I've done tons of recording on 2" analog, and mixed down both to 1/2' wide analog tape as well as to digital formats. The reason that people record to analog tape is that there is a certain warmth there that's missing from Pro Tools and Cubase and Nuendo, etc. There's also no Autotune, no Beat Detective, no miraculous digital splicing, nothing. No bullshit. You can either play well or you can't. And tape is several times more expensive than hard drives, so if anything digital is cheaper. In terms of a tinny sound, digital is known more for that than analog. Long story short, an album is recording, mixing, and mastering, and more often than it ought to, an overzealous engineer will master with a ton of high end and compression and really make an album sound like shite. That is where "tinny" comes from 9 times out of 10.
So yes, people stay away from analog because it's expensive and much, much less flexible than digital. AFAIK all of Vanessa's albums were ProTools recordings except for C'est La Vie and Papa, so this will be a departure. It's exciting.
