Vespertine?!?!?

Ok, I wonder is it inspired in part by Nannou? Both sound
like musical boxes, and I just listened to Pagan Poetry and
a sound in the song reminded me a lot of Nannou... I
wonder...

Nannou? I dont know what youre talking about but I hope its
a good thing cause Vespertine and Pagan Poetry are great.
The Video kicks ass too.

it does say on Vespertine in the thank-yous, thanks to
Richard J... so maybe that refers to Richard D. James...

btw afxNUMB, Nannou is a song on Windowlicker which sounds
like a musical box...

ahhhhh, now i know what youre talking about, let me inform
you on something....I only know a few titles from Aphex Twin
because I dont really pay attention to the titles.shit most
of them are no even titled so go figure.

I just listen to the album until there's no more to listen
too......its really my 40 songs i have from every album.

Sweet shit if it was Aphex Richard J and not some other guy

yeah, I thought it was cool first when I noticed it... she
also thanks Thom Y there too, which is obviously Thom Yorke
from Radiohead...

well...aphex has been an inspiration to bjork for years
apparently...so it is possible..
but she also said she wanted the album to have a real
'domestic' feel (an early working title was
'domistika')...and also to sound good even on crappy
computer speakers... so i guess she figured music box-y
sounds were appropriate for these ideas...

also my favorite of the ones i have

personally I find "homogenic" the greatest bjrk album.it's
so intense and full of emotions."vespertine" sounds like, I
don't know- rest? something like musical cocoon, it's too
quiete and peaceful for me.

I do not enjoy this album too much...... not a big fan of
BEEORK.

something is strange with "vespertine"- i can't hear matmos
work at all- it is not their style- no "surgery" samples and
stuff. did she work with kronos quartet too making this
album?

an echo a stain is a masterpiece...some influences of rdj
album i think

matmos only did work on a few of the tracks
...and the whole surgery sample thing was just part of the
concept on 'a chance to cut..'
they seem to sample things that go with the theme of the
album...like 'hidden place' samples the sound of cards being
shuffled

i dont think she worked with the kronos quartet... most of
the string parts were from the icelandic string octet i
believe

Have you heard any of the remixes from Vespertine? There's
the Odd Duck mix of one of the tracks by Matmos that sounds
defintively like their liposuction thing
