Aren't they? I just call them as I see them - look at the credits. No, I
don't have Homogenic but I do have a copy of post here. Of the 11 tracks
listed Bjork has a sole songwriting credit on 4. All the tracks were
produced with Nelle Hooper and Graham Massey. Now I'm not in the studio
when she records the albums so I don't know how much of the tracks are
hers and how much comes from the collaborators - but I certainly have
more respect for artists such as Autechre, Cylob, Squarepusher, afx,
etc. that program, engineer, mix, arrange, write, record and produce
everything themselves than I do for Bjork who has an army of many other
people to support her in those tasks.

It must be quite novel to be able to purchase your influences rather
than create the music yourself.
I wonder what Ken D. has to say on the topic?

Hmmm. What kind of risks are you taking when you already have a zillion
dollars? There are many struggling IDM artists who have the talent and
technical skills to produce the sort of mindless dance music that will
sell loads more than the type of music they produce to stay true to
themselves and because they believe in what they are doing. Some of
those people are members on this list. I suppose I think they are a bit
more brave than bjork.

I'm not being picky. I can enjoy a good pop tune as much as the next
geezer (I'm the one who posted about my love for the spice girls,
remember?), but I acknowledge the music for what it is. When I read
stuff like this...

I have to say: get real. I still love you Plod geezers but I think
you're off your rockers with this one.

I suppose the monkey with Graham Massey, Nelle Hooper, Plaid, Howie B,
Tricky and Mark Bell in it's cage has a bit of an advantage though :)
gonzi.
