The Official Björk Thread

[Gubsi]

^my favs PV'S are Human Behaviour, Violently happy, Army of Me, It's oh so quiet, Possibly Maybe, I Miss You, Bachelorette, Alarm Call, All is full of Love, Hidden Place, Cocoon, Oceania, Triumph of a Heart

Yeah debut is great!!
I think the album version of Big Time Sensuality beats the PV Remix Version by miles!
And my favorite non-single from debut is There's More To Life Than This, OMG!
(i love this part when it sounds she goes to the toilet, sings and goes out! )

[JackieRos]

is so cool that she was actually recording There's More to Life Than This in a club (or whatever)
i read that she was holding the recorder

OMG!

I like that too, it gives the song more "life" into it!

Edit: My CD says (recorded in the milk bar toilets! xD)

there is this book that talks about everything bjork
and i got so freaked out when i read that a guy shot himself on the head
while recording just because bjork was dating a dark skinned man
idk what song he was playing while he shot himself

I really didn't like Voltaic that much. The tracklist is weak, even if it includes some great songs, but My Juvenile??? Probably her worst song ever!

About the mixes, the Wanderlust ones are great, particularly the Ratatat mix, but the rest suck. In fact, Volta is her worst album. My favorite would have to be some kind of tie among Homogenic, Vespertine and Medulla.

And Ancestors rocks!!

[Namie♡TOP SECRET]

^WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????? . It's okay, but sometimes I skip it

[Aristocrat_Drug]

I can't believe I didn't find this thread sooner. Bjork is like my favroite artist. I have like all of her albums <3

I saw her live here she was AMAZING.

[extepan]

Yeah only 7000 copies were made.

[Kanzaki]

I love Björk. She's awesome. I so want to catch her on tour, I should be able to since I'm pretty close. My mom's sister's best friend apparently once met her. I'm jealous!

I don't think you'll have to wait too long. She's starting to get active again.

[JackieRos]

That's good! I'm kinda hoping she'll collaborate with someone, say, an electronic artist. I think something good will definitely come out of that.

and I'm sorry to say this, but I wasn't too excited about Volta, liked her earlier albums much better.

Did anyone see the movie she was in, the Lars Von Trier one: Dancer in the dark? It's really good, and so sad.

[JackieRos]

Volta is the worst album ever. I just like Earth Intruders

I agree, but I also like Innocence, Wanderlust, i see who you are, the dull flame of desire, and declare independence. I like the DR9 soundtrack better than Volta though.

Well she's collaborating with Ólöf Arnalds (never heard of him) on a song called Surrender. And then she's doing a song with Antony and the Johnsons called Flétta. And then she's doing an album with the Dirty Projectors called Mount Wittenberg Orca it has something to do with Whale songs or something. And she also recently worked with Sjón (Isobel, Bachelorette, I've Seen it All, Wanderlust) on a song called "The Comet Song" for a finnish movie that's supposed to be released in August/September.

I love love Vexpertine it never gets old.

The best song of course is Pagan Poetry, the video is magic.
