What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 21-10-2011
I am familiar with this album !!!...brilliant artist !!!!!!

Holiday i-Pod listening.
All is bonkers in the highly original musical world of this fab Icelandic singer. Her new one has just popped through the door, so that'll be up for a spin soon as well.
AllMusic 4/5 stars.

Her new one, released in 2011.
The strange, yet wonderful Bjork strikes again.
Large parts of this thematically linked (the universe, and mankind's place in it, sort of...) album are closer to modern Classical music than Electronica, featuring Church Organs, Harps, Choirs and the like. This continues a trend in her music that began way back on her Vespertine album. It's all very ethereal, which makes for some very atmospheric music.
But the Bjorkbeats are back with a vengeance here also. There are four or five cracking onslaughts of intense beats, which are quite unlike anything I've heard before. The contrast between the ethereal, and the rhythmic stuff works very well.
Great album.
Good old Bjork...
AllMusic 4/5 stars.

Excellent !!
There aren't many that appreciate her output.
Even Mrs Tiggi's wavering over this one. She'll come round, once she hears a bit more of it...
What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 25-10-2011
i, myself dont have any Bjork albums, for some reason i tend to bjork at buying them(pardon the pun!) ....i do find her singles and music videos quite entertasining to say the least
also i would have no idea where to place her in the genre thing, would have thought alternative, but electronic it is!
What Are You Listening To? - Tiggi - 26-10-2011
She's a slippery one genre wise, Crazyman, but I think her heart's in Electronica ?!
What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 26-10-2011
I think Bjork has drawn Icelandic folk song melodies also in her work . Like Tiggi says she's all over the place !!!!...that's why I like her...she's unpredictable. The Volta album that Tiggi reviewed shows off her different styles, pop, electronica, classical and folk.
Her voice may be a turn off for some but I love it because it's one of a kind !

A 2-CD remix album of their The King of Limbs, from 2011.
The original is a 40 minute disc, but the remix runs to over 100 minutes. The songs have been heavily reconstructed, and given electronic make-overs by an assortment of Electronica types from all corners of the genre.
This is a thrilling album that I'd have been glad to stumble across even without the Radiohead connection.
AllMusic 3+/5 stars.
