well, i own vinyl edition of "medulla" and must say that I
could listen to this album only on LP. CD cuts off all sound
of this tiny breaths, blurps, farts and other things that
are going on there. I like "desired constellation",
"vokuro", "pleasure is all mine", "triumph of the heart".
artwork makes me feel erotic too - and LP artwork is bigger
than CD's :P

the artwork-

Wasn't too impressed with this one, maybe my expectations
were too high. It's just more of the same....i'm a bit bored
with her tones.

this album is only 20% good, as for me.

her breast looks like an ass on that artwork, and this has
been discussed before.

it is more of the same..... Appart from one or maybe two
tracks..
The whole thing is boring to death. I baught the album,
listened too it a few times... And stuck it in my
cupboard... Never came out again.

Lameness

how can you say its more of the same, it sounds completely
different to any of her other albums.

I don't get it, you want someone else to sing?

Its like buying a David Bowie album and shock, it sounds
like David Bowie singing! :)

You don't seem to get the point.... Her voice is boring
after a while. (point)

I thought you would turn up. We discussed this before.
Yes i have the album, had it for a while.
Do you actually mind that i have my own tastes?
I stand by what i say, fuck the whole supposed organic feel,
ok?

well, she always put quite a bit of effort on the music part
so far, her way of singing/interpretation was always the
same..and it's the same on the new album which is basically
just her singing, so i guess that means (at least for me)
there's nothing new to hear..hmm

it's a bit like Autechre, can be very good or masturboring
to death depending on the mood you're in... (well, a bit
less hard than Autechre though).

anyway, easily the hardest of her albums to get into... and
in my opinion, the least good (my favourite being
Vespertine).

one good point is that she doesn't do any of her "trademark
screams" in icelandic in it! (except on 'Komið' but
that's the hidden track and it's not in the regular editions
so who cares) : )

another bad point, though that's not really important, is
the "digifile" special edition CD/SACD hybrid packaging.

those packagings are stupid, they scratch the cds -_-
and the "poster" and "booklet" are the same folded thing,
doesn't look that good, a real booklet would have been much
better!

yeah, it's a HELL to bring out the CD and poster from that
package, and since the first time I got it in my hands I
prefer to store the cd in a gentle paper cardboard.

vinyl > SACD, DVD-A??

I think you only need a good stereo with obviously good
spekaers... after all, after some use the vinyl loses the
real fidelity by the scratch noises, vinyl will
always be a nice format (also to have a bigger
artwork) but I think sometimes it isn't a practical format

the concept of the album is awesome
the songs on the other hand are not good
they are plainly not musically good
she should have worked on making good music before doing a
crazy album like that
and that is coming from a huge bjork fan...

im with the majority here - didn't like this one, concept
sounded good but it's a real pain in the ass to listen to.
vespertine on the other hand was so pretty.

i like how each of her albums is nothing like the previous
one, so i am looking forward to album 6 regardless.. anyone
know owt about it?
