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'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.
I just received two DVD's of hers.Live From Shephards Bush and Live At the Royal Opera House.I believe the latter is Vespertine live.I watched/listened to the Shephards Bush one the other night and got blown away by her.That elfish comment is so accurate.She almost seems like she exists in another realm or world when she performs and sings.Yeah i have become a fan and that voice and her control of it as an instrument are mind blowing to me.She's a great artist in my opinion.Really looking forward to sitting down and enjoying the Opera House DVD soon now.
