Considering her first record is from 1977, I'd say that her appearance on
two tracks on 'ex:el,' released in 1991, *is* recent. Even barring obscure
Icelandic releases, her recordings with the Sugarcubes handily precede any
techno involvement on her part.
All of which is moot, really - Bjork is as guilty of jumping on the techno
bandwagon as Underworld, Richard Kirk, Youth, and any number of other people
that Greg wouldn't think of insulting for it. :)
