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.

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.

Boa is right. Bjork's musical is excellent. It will have even the most stoic person crying copious tears. Oddly, though, it is one of those tragic movies I want to see multiple times.

Her Vespertine disc has been among my favorites for a long time.
Just ordered Selma Songs at half.com. Looking forward to a new Bjork cd for late night listening.
