i think there is alot to be said for working with other artists. everytime we collaborate with other musicians, especially ones with a background of more "traditional" (i.e. rock/folk/country etc.) music we come away from the experience with much more than we would from a normal "putzing around in the studio alone" session. bjork has several things going for her in terms of collaboration: 1) she is very imaginitive and experimental ... much more likely to allow an electronic artist do something off-the-wall than, say, Madonna -- who gets accolades for working with a played out muzak-techno producer like William Orbit and basically just restates electro/house instead of doing something really creative. 2) her songs are great .. both lyrically and musically 3) to be business minded, she has a huge audience and immediate name recognition which will bring exposure to any artist who works with her... do you think Mark Bell would be producing Depeche Mode's next album if he hadn't run the boards on "Homogenic"? well ... maybe, they did get Tim Simenon for their last one I guess... -- String Theory : Digital Music for Humans http://www.enteract.com/~yoshi/index.cgi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
