best bjork album? methinks. its got that nice chilly feel to it that goes well with winter. its also made me realize what a genius bjork is as a songwriter. just some amazing sounds and melodies on here. plus the live versions of the songs, especially where a deck of cards is used and sampled, are on par with the album itself. |
||||||||

|
i agree. aurora is my favourite song off it. |
||||||||
|

Pagan Poetry--mMMMM! |

haha i love how you appear out of nowhere to respond to a bjork topic. well see you in another month or so :) |
||||||||
|

hey electro (i know you'll read this), who do you think would make a stranger collaborator, miss kittin (bjork's wish) or the neptunes (the neptunes' wish)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like neptunes but i guess they will be the interesting colaboration |
||||||||

Not enough percussion for my tastes but still very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not enough percussion? IMO this is her most percussion-dominated album, it's just that it's out of the ordinary percussion (not big crashing beats like on homogenic especially). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, it's definitely not percussion-dominated... there might be a lot of percussion, but it's definitely more subtle then Homogenic... I've been listening to this album a lot lately, and yes, I love it... it's my favorite Bjork album, and my favorite track is Aurora... and yes, it does have this wintery feel... always reminds me of Christmas, and so you know, that never hurts... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I dispise the neptunes... I hate them so much! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

of course it's subtler but there's a major emphasis on the beats (think idm). i don't think the neptunes are a good fit for bjork, not only musically (too generically programmed) but also personality-wise. bjork writes and performs her own music while the neptunes basically just make tracks and pharrell comes up with a chorus and then they present it to the artist. i mean, true, bjork has sung over preexisting tracks by LFO and ensemble, but she might be put off by the neptunes work ethic (bjork's a true producer, the neptunes are basically just musicians and programmers). but if the collaboration did go down, whether bjork was involved in the music composing and performing process or not, i bet it'd be like an updated "big time sensuality." just a huge club banger that would be extremely popular. i really doubt the neptunes would go all N.E.R.D. on bjork, i think they'd stick to catchy programmed beats, if bjork were willing to just be (perhaps the world's most talented and expressive) pop singer. |

they are different thats why it would be interesting clash of talent with no talent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ouch.. well, i'm just going to say i disagree about the neptunes having "no talent", but i do agree they're very different |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really have to say, I don't think the neptunes are anything special at all... their songs annoy me to no end, and that stupid Pharrel guy who can't sing needs to shut-up before I put my fist through my tv as I try to punch him in the face... his stupid high pitched attempt at singing is like nails on a chalk board... I really don't see what all the fuss is about them... I quite often see The Neptunes and Timbalind mentioned together, and while Timbalind is quite good at producing music, I think The Neptunes are among the most annoying out there today... just my opinions of course, so don't anyone attack me here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well with whats going on in the music world now their productions are nothing new or special my cat can do better scratching and his purring is better beat....more idmish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you just have to listen with a different set of ears.. as you said, it's different |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

vespertine is fantastic, its very christmassy for me too. has anyone heard any news about 'the lake album'? cant wait for it.. especially after hearing 'desired constellation' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lend me your ears...... i thought neptunes would be interesting cause they would try to do something to a non average complex superb bjork song...that is tough to do and requires genious...... i expect them to do a telegram kinda remix the song constrcton for bjork now is getting more and more complex |

Im at college, man. :) I dont have time for this silly posting nonsense. ;) Im working on silly psychology nonsense :) |

It's the only album I have by her and I really like it. Especially the first 6 or 7 tracks. Aurora is particularly gorgeous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unison is my favourite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Still really enjoy homogenous |
||||||||
|

I bought homogenic the day i started going out with my last g/f. The cd stopped working the day we broke up. Creepy, and gutting, cos i loved that album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bollocks. I meant vespertine. Duh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they want to work with bjork, they didn't say they wanted to do a remix.. that's why i said the collab prolly wouldn't work, but who knows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont rate it her BEST, but its damn beautiful. I think ill listen to it now...good call zap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vespterine is def one of her best, post ad homogenic are great too! can't wait for her new stuff, esp if its like the stuff she played inlondon, like alec empire/aphex inspired dancey noise :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hidden place and aurora are really really good songs. |
||||||||
|
|

Homogenic = the volcanic side of Iceland Vespertine = the icy side of Iceland |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I haven't been able to give this album a good listening, I might do so tonight.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
homogenic is still the best björk album, but vespertine is a close second |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm i cant stand homogenic really.. its strange but that one really pisses me off vespertine is really the best ever... imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the collaboration with the neptunes would be a nice thing imo. despite the reigning oppinion here that the neptunes are shit i like what they do. kinda fresh blood to pop music. i think it'll be a nice collab because it's impossible to predict what would come out in the end. would be quite a surprise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd like to see bjork collaborate with the roots for no other reason than that it'd be really really weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be but then again the roots want to do a collab w/ thom yorke, i dunno if that's much weirder (bjork did 4 songs w/ wu-tang clan, is that a weirder choice than the roots?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favourite track from the album is now officially Cocoon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine is pagan poetry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bump! still a fantastic album. can't listen to this without getting horny haha. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a superb album. i will put it on now. although i prefer homogenic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
once, that record made me and all of my friends fall asleep after some wild partying. it was beautiful like a hug party or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my girlfriend and i love to listen to it when falling asleep at night. it's great cause she sings along with bjork at such a soothing volume into my ears. ahh... too much personal response in this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's impossible for me to pick a favorite Bjork album because each album is so different from the others. But Vespertine is the album that got me hooked on her. "Unison," "Frosti," "It's Not Up to You" were the tracks from her I first fell in love with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha yeah it's great music for falling asleep to. Master of Puppets was another records that could easily put me to sleep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matmos and their bizarre sampling aesthetics really make this album what it is. Wish they would produce more collabs like this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gave this album a thorough listen today. still love it as much as i did years ago. it makes me depressed that im single. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are the luckiest man alive. do you shut your eyes and imagine taht shes bjork? i would. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
