The new Bjork is brilliant -- the first album she's made
in my opinion that really accomplishes what it sets out to do.
It's very much on topic for IDM, but beyond the IDM-escque
collaborators, it's a collection of really well-crafted,
well-arranged, well-performed songs.
As a matter of fact I'd say Bjork has realized her own
idiosyncratic artistic vision in a way unique to pop music.
The fact that it's a major label release that's being gobbled
up like candy by the MTV Generation is intensely subversive.
I spoke to one of my record store buddies, and he said that
not only is "Vespertine" flying out the door, but that sales of
Matmos and Herbert records and CDs are way up ...
