I agree with Aphex and Autechre. Once again I think Bjork has had a much
stronger "mainstream" influence on experimental electronic music than she is
credited with. You can argue that she is just selecting producers that have
been musically innovative (Mark Bell, Matmos, Thomas Knak, Plaid, Herbert)
but I have to say that the music that was created out of these
collaborations sounds nothing like the music the artists/producers have
created on their own. Mark Bell's stellar work on "Homogenic" sounds nothing
like his LFO solo work. Same with Matmos and Thomas Knak's (Opiate) work on
"Vespertine". This tells me that she is a much greater influence in the
studio than people think. I would place her above NIN for that reason.
