That's likely because she's pretty pop herself; she just has an
ear
(and money) to hire/bribe people in the IDM "scene" to work for
her :)
I mean, I can't stand radiohead, but at least they're making
their
stuff on their own (and not hiring Matmos to do it for them).

I wouldn't try to defend Bjork as her talent and honesty needs not be reaffirmed, but
the comment above is one of the most unfair thing i have read on this list. She
certainly didn't exploit Matmos, I'd rather say that she has helped them get more
popularity. They would tell you how well she treated them, as would every person who
collaborates with her. Personally I think that Vespertine would have sounded better
if Bjork had simply hired Matmos to do it for her, I couldn't find their craziness in
it... But I wouldn't debate over Vespertine, my favourite is Homogenic and I
recommend it to anyone who wants to discover Bjork.
have a nice week-end
