A-hem. Björk: 2 producers + herself, a couple of "collaborators", yes, but it's not like thay aren't credited. However, the wonderful things about Björk isn't first of all the production and/or the mixing whatever. I understand that you dig Cylob n' the Rephlex posse far more than this (it's the nipples you want innit? ;) but don't be so fucking naive to believe that there's Howie B or Mark Bell or friggin Plaid that's doing the work here. Don't even TRY and convince me that because Björk has a zillion dollars she can't do anything interesting or that because Cylob DOESN'T he can't. It's not about that and I though we had learned that by now. I was wrong again. It's not really usual that artists with "a zillion dollars" doing this kinda stuff, and that's why I think Björk is so very brave. (you probably haven't even heard the album we're talking about here. Am I wrong?) That was the only thing I wanted to stress. It IS however VERY USUAL for "underground" artist like Cylob or whomever to do so. I like Cylob but...
quoted 1 line You tell me who deserves more respect.>You tell me who deserves more respect.
...if you ask me Björk is the one because she dares. Cylob doesn't really. However, it isn't up to me do decide. Most of the people on this list would probably trade all their Björk's for one shitty little Industrial Folk Songs 12", so that isn't really relevant. And please... don't be so fucking picky.
