bremen Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I *hate* that version. The bass is all jolly and skips along, whereas the original is very dark and subtle. The original album is pretty much perfect in every respect, awesome piece of work. Quote
nomis Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 if i hadnt married my wife i would have married bjork and made her sing me to sleep... Quote

Skol303 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Another Bjork fan here! [****ER ALERT!] ...I actually interviewed her sometime in the late 90s; got a scoop as I was one of the first UK journos at the time to hear about her then upcoming role in the film "Dancer in the Dark" (not a Friday night popcorn film, in case you're wondering). I did the interview with her - only via telephone unfortunately - and the same day some stalker-type burgled her mum's home, which meant she cancelled all further interviews - hence the scoop. Anyway, she was great. Exactly how I'd imagined her to be and certainly one of the few musicians I ever interviewed that was genuinely interesting to talk with. I hadn't yet received a copy of her album to review at the time (Homogenic I think it was), so we ended up chewing the fat about her experience growing up in Iceland, getting drunk on jam-jars full of fruit and vodka, and long walks where she'd sing to herself... I think she was just happy to talk about something other than her latest album. I might still have the interview on tape somewhere; if so I'll digitise and upload it - there are a few gems in there for the Bjork fans among us. I also used to have Keith Chegwin on my answerphone, but that's another story. Anyway, I'll shut up now. Quote
Wil Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I quite liked Dancer in the Dark, but whether that's because I'm a Bjork fan anyway I'm unsure... interesting musical arrangements none the less, and wasn't expecting the end to be quite so, well, dark! Quote

MuckedUpFunkies Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I've never had a problem with Bjork until I got a set a 6000 word essay on her production style and musical traits... Safe to say I can no longer stand her voice! Dan Quote
Wil Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I've been listening to Biophilia this week - really like it, some very interesting sounds/beats. Thunderbolt, Virus and Sacrifice are standouts for me. Quote
