Bjork-Vespertine


This CD is blowing me away! I have never heard a 2ch disc with so many layers. The soundstage is very wide and impressive. Not sure how this project was mixed but I wish more titles sounded this good. I know that many might find her voice annoying but I love that little elfish girl from Iceland...she has some pipes! I wonder If anyone agrees with me on this? I highly recommend this disc to those who haven't heard it.

"Post" is my favorite Bjork cd. Love it start to finish. I'll have to give a closer listen to Vespertine.
I will have to pick up "Post". I'm kind of rediscovering Bjork having listened to her with the Sugarcubes many moons ago. The only other disc I have is the Medulla SACD.

"Selma Songs" is very good as well, the soundtrack to the film in which Bjork played the lead role, "Dancer in the Dark". Excellent film, a haunting, tragic musical about a blind woman.
i agree post is her best but she has a jazz"gling glo"which is very good.her influences are from;brian eno and kraftwerk.eno's best to my taste is "another green world" and for kraftwerk i like "autobahn".eno is quite prolific and made many albums with robert fripp of king crimson and hes the producer of u2 on many albums.pat
I'm a fan of both Eno & Fripp. I grew up listening to a lot of King Crimson, Roxy Music, Bowie and the likes, although they were a bit before my time...I had some older friends that turned me on to some great artists. In those days these bands & musicians would collaberate creating some great sounding music. I aprreciated the creativity these artist conveyed being a musician myself. Although Vespertine is not a new release, it's new to me, and I find it to be fresh, lush & very creative.
