| | Bjork Debut Live CD Bjork Discography of CDs
Recorded in 1994 for an MTV UNPLUGGED session, this live-in-studio set features Bjork performing nearly every song from DEBUT, backed by an eclectic cast of musicians that includes her frequent collaborator Guy Sigsworth, percussionist Talvin Singh, harpist Corky Lake, and jazz luminaries Oliver Lake and Julius Hemphill. Although the Icelandic singer keeps the structures of her songs largely intact, these acoustic performances, which incorporate instruments such as the gamelan and tabla, bring out completely different aspects of the tunes. These re-workings allow Bjork's utterly unique voice to masterfully guide the songs, whether emphatically emoting over the surprisingly spare backing of "Big Time Sensuality" or softly swooning on the harp-laden "Like Someone in Love." The result is an excellent companion piece to DEBUT and a must for Bjork fans.

Purchase Debut Live CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bjork Vespertine Live CD (2004)
Debut Live album
 $14.05  
Beginning with the strangely soothing, childlike music-box intro of "Frosti," this live album, recorded on the 2001 tour, presents Bjork in the mellowest of moods. Here the often-restless Icelandic performer conveys her unique mixture of wide-eyed innocence and tender sensuality in a set that draws heavily from the relatively subdued VESPERTINE and HOMOGENIC albums. As on her other live releases, Bjork presents reconfigured versions of her compositions, never content to simply recreate her studio albums onstage.
Bjork's drifting, dreamy songs--including "All Is Full of Love," "Aurora," "Undo," and "Unravel"--benefit from spare electronics by the duo Matmos, the entrancing harp playing of Zeena Parkins, and the angelic background vocals of a Scandinavian choir. In a rare treat, Bjork performs ...

Live Recording
Recorded at various performances on her 1997-'98 tour, this live collection features Bjork backed only by her collaborator Mark Bell (on various electronic instruments) and the Icelandic String Octet. This relatively spare instrumentation allows Bjork to take her songs down slightly different paths, while retaining the heart of the studio recordings. Bjork's voice shines throughout, whether she's cutting loose on the liberating "5 Years" and the fiercely cathartic "Pluto" or gliding over the melodies of the pensive "You've Been Flirting Again" and the dreamy "All Neon Like." In addition to a handful of older songs, Bjork also includes two rarities--the jubilant, upbeat "I Go Humble" and the emotive, flamenco-tinged "So Broken"--tunes that blend seamlessly into the dynamic set.
