I meditate to Surrounded daily.. Björk's 5.1 DualDisc box set.

I owe Björk so much, she was my gateway to better music.

I can listen to Bjork for a few hours alright and then not want to listen to her for another few years. Saying that though, 'Homogenic' is a beautiful recording.

Oh trust me, its magical. My only gripe with it is All Is Full Of Love on Homogenic is the shitty Howie's Version. I WANTED THE ORIGINAL VERSION IN 5.1!

Medulla is absolutely great album!!!! Definetely best of Björk. It´s the only album, that have some songs that remind me great Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. Vespertine is also very good! All the other albums are also ok, I was disappointed to Volta at first also, but I have listened it now again for a long time and now it is also ok.

I didn´t like KUKL at all. When I listened it (I don´t remember the album name) I thought, that they´ve tried to make very arty stuff but they really didn´t have any ideas. Sugarcubes is ok, it cheers me up, when I need some funny pop stuff.

I love Bjork but I can completely do without her theatrics... otherwise amazing artist. I've been a fan since Sugarcubes.

I will say though that I think she is more or less a more abstract version of Madonna in the sense that a lot of the appeal about her music is achieved at the hands of her producers. Great songs, great sound, great recordings.... she just comes in and does her thing with the vocals.

It took me ages to actually enjoy her, having always fallen more on the 'just respect' side of things, but at some point earlier this year I was in a pretty introspective phase and something just totally clicked. She's fantastic. I value her music immensely because it has a special quality that only a few other things in my collection share, which is that thing of not necessarily feeling like listening to it all that often, but then just sometimes it'll be exactly the right time for you and then it's the only thing you can listen to for a few days. Say, Scott Walker or Keiji Haino have a similar thing. I have to be in the right headspace to listen to her, but when I am she's all I want to listen to.

Homogenic is the obvious choice for her best album, and I totally get why, but as much as Homogenic is probably the more 'definitive' release, the album I actually have the most affection for, and the one that got me into her, is Vespertine. It's less 'all out', more intimate. I love it. Cocoon is a great track.

Björk's vocal range can not be compared to Madonna. She is a true musical artist with immense singing talent, where as Madonna is a pop idol.

In my opinion Vespertine and Medulla are masterpieces. But Volta was disappointment. It sounded to me like she was doing something she´s done before (more Homogenic-style stuff, but I think Homogenic is much more interesting than Volta). And to me that first song for new one sounds quite the same as Volta. She is still great, but not as great as for example P.J Harvey and Kate Bush.
