That is to say that I have a deep-rooted admiration for her: without a doubt, I consider her the most complete artist in her field. As far as I am concerned, she is the only "Pop" artist that has proven to be capable of fitting a musical vision as complex as hers into passionate and spontaneous-sounding songs. She is the only singer/songwriter I know of whom I think merits to be qualified as a "composer" in any truly classical sense of the word. The complexity behind her vocal renderings and the music she has conceived over the years is simply astounding. And even more so is the ability with which she has been able to make all ingredients come together in songs that have a real beginning, a real development and a real ending. Songs which, notwithstanding their complexity, never sound "crafted," overly experimental or gratuitously arduous to listen...

Describing how much I adore this nifty little arrangement is near impossible because my love for Bjork blinds it so much. It was a few days after Christmas in 2003 when I saw Bjork's debut album "Debut" for sale and bought it on the off-chance that I would like it. Little did I know that I was about to embark on the most profoundly amazing musical experience of my life. 2004 for me was Bjork. No one else. In the space of the year I have acquired pretty much her entire back catalogue on CD, and "Live Box" was a welcome addition to this last month. To firstly understand the importance of a project such as this one must first understand the way in which it is constructed. Bjork is both a visual and musical artist whose work appears to be the end result of just one person's hard work, when in fact everything she does is a collaborative effort. She has always let other people have a say in the work that she does, and she...

I went out and bought Björk's Live Box Set today, the day it was released. Even though I around half of the performances spanned across numerous DVDs, I am quite satisfied with the box. Disc One - Debut: Altough it consists of almost entirely the MTV unplugged performance, it is a still a pleasant listen. It also is presented without the edit cuts MTV imposed. Disc Two - Post: Again, most of this is from the Sheperd's Bush performance (availiable on DVD) and is probably my least favorite, considering that a few of the songs are flawed. Disc Three - Homogenic: The performances on here are superb, though her vocals are a little loud on some parts. Disc Four - Vespertine: Wow. Brilliant. Magical. This CD is worth the price of the box alone. Disc Fove - Bonus DVD: This is nice if you don't own the MTV unplugged DVD or Live at the Royal Opera House. The packaging is very manageable, compared to last year's "Family Tree" which, once removed from the box, could never... Read more |
