I see your point, but you don't hear Bjork claiming credit for the work that Mark Bell, Nellee Hooper etc. etc. do. At least not AFAIK. In practically every interview she tells how much fun it is to work with these people and how they came up with great ideas. Lazy media may say that *she* is a musical genius, but I think her genius lies in the fact that she can assemble a team around her that creates a musical synergy. I guess you could call that musical genius maybe, but not in the conventional sense anyway. Otto
