Just thought everyone would sleep better knowing this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope it's better than everything else she's done. the unibrowed crackpot has potential to put out a good album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm! End of August, not too long to wait. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would have to be quite an album to be better than her previous work. Vespertine and Homogenic are masterpieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is probably my most anticipated album ever, shame she's not touring though. |
||||||||
|

i cant wait to see bjork live!! its the only artist i havent seen that i really want to, im willing to travel a long distance! bjork is one of the few artists that has been consistantly amazin her whole career |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree whole-heartedly, and would also add selmasongs to that list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'll be waiting a while, she's said she's doing 2 albums before touring again. She's amazing live, saw her last year in london, i'll never forget it |
||||||||

|
|
silly yes, but ill be ready next time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're nice albums. nothing that constitutes a masterpiece though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
homogenic is nice with the occasional lush streak of greatness; vespertine is a masterpiece. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
...random question here, did bogdan collaberate with her?? and is his stuff on this album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some good pop songs on it, i agree. otherwise it falls apart without any real songwriting. |
||||||||
|

"some good pop songs on it, i agree. otherwise it falls apart without any real songwriting." what the hell, are you on about vespertine?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and maybe cuddle aftar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, ok... seemed like you were describing a run of the mill pop album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I remember when Homogenic was supposedly named Domestika, or something like that. Well, I look forward to the new Bjork album, as well as the imaginative videos that will no doubt accompany it. (My favorite to date is "Bachelorette".) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was vespertine that was domestica for a while. there's a pagan poetry single with the track domestica which was not on the cd. i just did a web search and found some references stating that domestika was the working title for vespertine. |

Clatter! Crash! Clap! |

you look familiar. |
||||||||
|
|

Im pretty sure it was VESPERTINE, it was originally DOMESTICA |

(rubs hands like Mr. Burns) exxxcellent...... |
||||||||

i'm looking forward to it. |

Thanks Dozier and IronLung for the correction, that was it! :) Oh, wow... cool... how very... vocal! Looking forward to this collaboration. |
||||||||

"New album to consist solely of vocals"... is that really true!? quite a disappointment to me... |

"Instruments are so over," says Bjork of her new, purely vocal album, Medulla, due out late August/early September. "I think this was probably the most intuitive album I've done," she continues. "I had to use ingredients that I trusted, like my voice, my muscles, my bones. I couldn't really use all the other stuff." Rahzel of the Roots -- known as "the Human Beatbox" -- supplies the percussive bass line for a majority of the songs, and the album also features collaborations with Inuit throat-singer Tanya Tagaq and former Faith No More frontman Mike Patton. The sound is primitive, full of brooding menace on "Where Is the Line" and soaring, breathy romance on "The Pleasure Is All Mine." Following Medulla's release, Bjork will continue working in the studio rather than go on tour. "Every album I've done, the minute that it's done, I feel really lubricated and, like, 'Wow, now I can write an album in five minutes,'" she says. "And I just want to find out if that's just a fantasy or if it's true." LAUREN GITLIN (Posted Jun 15, 2004) |

but still... how disappointing... :( i was looking forward to something sounding like a development of the sound on vespertine. |
||||||||

|
|
<----------- excited!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i'm scared the album will sound like bobby mcferrin, or whatever that guy called himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
much obliged. the thought of her working with rahzel doesn't really excite me that much. i don't know why. i'll wait and see what it sounds like. maybe my gut reaction to that collaboration is wrong; but i tend to tire of beatboxing & vocal instrumentation quite quickly unless it's incredibly well done. it works wonderfully live, but for repeated home listening? even someone who's really pushed it forward like jamie lidell seems somehow limited in his output. almost as if the process is more important than the final product. i'm not sure i like that compromise. i've always loved the way bjork's voice becomes another instrument amidst someone elses beats and arrangements.. it will be interesting to hear how this record turns out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite possibly.. but still.. you can be (almost) sure that bjork will make great things of it! first of all it won't be happy-reaggae/classical like bobby mcferrin... it'll probably be more melancholic or naive joy. Although.. you never know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely pleased that she's expanding her range of collaborators and her sound further though. i'm not sure she's an artist who can stand still, or follow a simple linear evolution. if you haven't already heard it, here's an interesting with bjork, where she discusses a selection of her favourite records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Maja Ratkje album 'Voice' was made out of her vocal samples and its an amazing album. Also Ami Yoshida did the same but thats way more experimental and tracks are only 12 seconds long on average (about 99 tracks i think tracks). It will be interesting to see how Bjork harnesses this into pop structures. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sure hope you are right! i'd say björk is in my top 5 artists of all time and i would like it to stay that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have a look at the .. hip hop, jazz, orchestral, plaid & natural-world recordings/experiments with mics by chris watson. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds pretty cool.. i'd be interested to hear that, i reckon. that way i'd have a clearer idea of how, as you said, bjork "harnesses [maja ratkje's sound] into pop structures." i think i just mean that, although the process behind music is often interesting (herbert's pccom ethos, prepared piano, the mecanoid record etc), it shouldn't overshadow the music itself. sometimes such a fuss is made over the production techniques that the music becomes secondary; and no one seems to realise that the tunes aren't actually THAT good. i'm sure this won't be the case with bjork, though. |
