This CD is certainly not a regular Björk album! It's the soundtrack to Drawing Restraint 9! This in turn is a film by Matthew Barney. Anyone slightly familiar with the work of Matthew Barney knows that this certainly no conventional films turns. This is art. So would probably songs as Human Behaviour and co. completely misplaced act. In the film, only a handful of words are spoken literally. It is based on the powerful images and even music. Equally disturbing as the images should therefore be the music. As the film goes to Japan, Björk has incorporated into the classical Japanese music, and this mixed with their own. A Sho is used (an old Japanese instrument, which can no longer play a lot of people). On this you have to get used to be true for now. If you manage that, you can hear out some of the most beautiful so far Björk melodies of these songs. The eighth song "Storm" is one of my favorite songs and has been for Björk's Greatest Hits tour, where it was sung for the first time. The opener is simply ingenious. And as the third song, which would be quite not noticed on the Vespertine. On the statements like "Björk now nothing more to do with Pop!" I would like a question. When Björk has ever made a pure pop album ??? Björk is now 40 years old and no longer jumps times through the world ... It is pretty much the only musician who still evolving and dares to go through with their thing. They could now probably better described as a composer, as a pop star. I find this CD simply awesome. That's what I had expected from Björk as the next step ...
