  • ooh...that depends what mood i'm in. they are all so different, and i could never pick one over the others. has anyone ever listened to all the albums and songs on i-tunes in random order? i have done that quite a few times and it is pretty interesting - the differences are 'oh so' evident.

    when i am sewing i prefer 'vespertine'. if i am going out and getting ready i like 'post' and for driving i enjoy 'debut' and 'homogenic'. 'selma songs' i love, but it makes me sad b/c of the movie.
    of course these aren't the only times i listen to the albums!
    • Unsu...
       
      I listen to vespertine the most. My other two favorites are medulla and homogenic. Oh--and I like the others as well.

      (quack)
  • homogenic is the album that got me started on bjork..so i listen to that the most. by far
    • my first bjork sighting was late night 120 minutes on MTV. i can still remeber the first time i saw and heard her. it was the 'cold sweat' video. after that it was 'birthday'. i was hooked forever.

      i can't choose one album over the other though, i admire those of you with more discerning palates. i just think every sound she makes is golden (silvery, bronzish, glittery and sometimes stringy, but you get my drift!)



      violent pizza!
    • For me the first time I heard her voice was on Regina from the Sugar Cubes “Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!” I am not even sure why I bought the album. Between that and the song “Tidal wave” all I was thinking, "This girl needs to go solo".
      -----------------------------
      Björk
      Came from the east,
      Like the sun,
      But with tired engine,
      Regina otherwise magnificent,
      Regina in good bloom
      Björk
      Oh oh Regina, oh oh Regina.
      ---------------------------------------
      Björk
      Theres danger, danger!

      A tide with an undertow, the sea is swelling
      Impatience makes me foam
      A wave inside me forces out big words
      They splash and sprinkle
      An angry torrent breaking loose, a flush or rushing joy
      -----------------------------------

      She should remake this will someone other then Einar.

      Oh yes: Albums they would be “Debut” and “Post”
  • Homogenic makes me think of being in Iceland... at the top of a hill in Thingvellir! Such a magic place. Such a treasured place in my heart for that album, and that place.

    But oh my god, Medulla is such a masterpiece. If you haven't bought the "making of" DVD of the album ("Inner Part of an Animal or Plant Structure"), I highly recommend it! It's only like $12 on Amazon, and it will make you appreciate the album 50,000 times more than you probably already do... or, it'll make you appreciate it if you don't think you like it! Watching the sounds coming out of Dokaka's and Rahzel's or Mike Patton's mouths is an amazing experience, and hearing Bjork talk about her processes is magical.

    :)
    • yes! i totally agree about the making of medulla dvd. it not only is amazing, but it is really funny too. mike patton and dokaka's vocal techniques had me laughing (when you see it, you will know what i mean).

      it will definitely make you hear the album differently, helping you appreciate it even more (well...if that is possible!).
