I'm with you. so excited for something this conceptual from bjork.Mato said:I adore Bjork. The tracklsit sounds very promising. I hope Biophilia is more deep and thought out than Volta. Pray theres no brass, Just use synths Bjork. Crystaline sounds a bit like Vespertine material which is good.
LOL :bowZephyrFate said:I apologize that it isn't filled with horrid 'hot trash' beats like your Gaga.
I am excited as fuck for this album. The real queen is here, everyone else can get the fuck out.

I listened to a few of the songs on YouTube.. They're all really slow, but very interesting nonetheless. I'm hoping there are some fast/upbeat ones on the album to mix it up a bit.
Thunderbolt, Solstice, Mutual Core and Virus sound the best so far.
Is that the final tracklisting by the way? Just 10 songs?
I would say people make comparisons because Lady Gaga desperately wants to be seen as an "artist" and not a pop star. However, there's a huge disconnect between her image and her music that makes her come across as a poser/wannabe/fraud. Björk is everything Gaga is not, with genuine artistry and innovation behind her image and her music for decades. Without having read much of these comparisons, I'm assuming Björk fans are upset that she doesn't get the mainstream recognition she deserves, and Gaga fans are upset when she is called out on her bullshit marketing. It makes me think of the Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim feud - the inspiration Gaga takes from Björk (among many others) is so obvious, right down to her Alexander McQueen obsession, yet it never seems to be acknowledged. I'll agree that musical comparisons between them are pointless, they are not on the same level at all.Nemesis556 said:I don't understand where the Gaga comparisons are coming from. I guess they're both weird in some sense, but they're completely different genres and by the sounds of it completely different people too.
Played out as avant-garde multi-platform shock and awe, her songs, at the cellular level, are ultimately concerned with love, generosity and wonderment.
The 200th issue of Dazed & Confused is on sale this Thursday 7 July, and the magazine celebrates this publishing milestone by inviting Björk to guest-edit the entire issue and "show us the future". Dazed editor Rod Stanley meets her at her home in New York to find out all about her remarkable new album and "app suite" Biophilia, currently making its performance debut in Manchester. Also in the issue, she presents many of the scientists, designers, programmers, musicologists and artists that inspired and created the project. The cover is exclusively revealed here, from the stunning shoot by artist Sam Falls, and styled by Katy England. Accelerate!
Gaylord Sweetwood said:Too lazy to look right now, but for those who are in the know more so than I am, does anyone know who produced the album? I don't think it was Mark Bell this time around.
Jugendstil said:Wow, even listening to a low quality recording of her performing Mutual Core live, I still got chills from the breakdown. My body and iPad are ready! I want it NOW.
Naked Snake said:Thanks for all the links Mono. That interview was cool (David Attenborough!). and I might order that issue of Dazed & Confused (you can order it from the Back Issues page, and they seem to deliver worldwide).
Album is sounding amazing.

"'crystalline' is an innovative interactive experience designed by bjork to explore the similarities between musical and spatial relationships simultaneously music composition, animation, game, and educational tool. 'Crystalline' allows you to learn about the song's structure. at the start of the interactive game a crystal seed floats through tunnels, scraping crystals of other colors from the tunnel's walls to it as you move through tunnels, while choosing your own route through the song by tilting the screen to enter the tunnel of your choice.
you can save, edit and playback your routes through the song and share the unique crystals you make with others. 'crystalline' contains bjork's song as an interactive musical game, an animation and scrolling music notation, which provide novel ways to experience music's spatial relationships. a written analysis explores bjork's ideas and traces the relationship between musical and crystal structures. 'crystalline' is part of bjork's biophilia. a suite of original music and interactive, educational artworks and musical artifacts exploring music, nature and technology.
'cystalline' was created by bjork in collaboration with luc barthelet, developer of the sims, touchpress, creator of the elements app; and bjork's longtime design collaborators m/m (paris)."

She's a massive Attenborough fan, she even showed up on a documentary about him that aired a few years ago called Attenborough's Greatest Moments.Naked Snake said:I still can't believe David Attenborough is on this. Too awesome.
