Bjork's first non-soundtrack album since HOMOGENIC is positively pastoral compared with that release's experimental electronic textures. Swathed in strings ...    Full Description

5 stars wow!!
This a u-turn from the excellent and dense album "Homogenic", this time Björk makes it ecstaticly intimate, delicate and tender, diaphanous and ethereal. If you already have "Selmasongs", you could feel the transition and you could have expected the style of Vespertine. The album is great, Björk is definitively the most creative female musician nowadays. Her voice is better than ever and it outstands beautifully in songs like "Cocoon" and "Aurora". The electronic beats, mixed with harp, musicboxes and beautiful choirs creates a kind of music like you've never heard. For me the best songs are "Hidden Place", "It's not up to you", "Aurora" and I think "Pagan Poetry" (excellent!! no words to describe it...!!) by itself makes the album worth buying.

3 stars Good, but not as fresh as earlier albums.
I appreciate the intimacy of this album, but I do not think it has the blatant originality and as unique a sound as "Homogenic" and other of Bjork's earlier efforts. I'd say buy if you're a fan, but don't expect to hear any groundbreaking work.

Just when you thought Bjork couldn't get any more creative, she does. Vespertine is an amazingly unique and sharp piece of work. 'Undo' is gorgeous. Instrumentation is wonderful and moving throughout, apart from the lapse in 'it's not up to you'.. If you are looking to buy Bjork's music you could divide her body of work in two categories: before Vespertine and after Homogenic. Both are good, but she has now definitely matured as an artist. She deserves much applause for abandoning rules of her usual savvy pop and going out on a limb to create such defined and multi-faceted work. This is definitely not 'homogenic'!

5 stars Vespertine...a colt classic.
With past albums, Bjork has tried to accomplish what is now know as simply Vespertine. The soft, introverted Bjork creates a world of inner human fanatasy, pushing to explore every inch. The shy and forward Hidden Place starts the journey into the soul, somber yet reassured of what is wanted, and pushes all the way to the culminating finale of rembracing in Unison. The length of the album proves to be perfect in setting the quite, almost un-noticed micro beat-sound, produced by a wide range of artists spanning from Matmos, Mark Bell, Thomas Knak, and finally to the ever impressive Console with the most improtant amount of care. We must take Vespertine as Bjork asks...in a generous mood, and hope for all the best.

What can I say about this album that others haven't? Georgeous, haunting, a completely perfect album from start to finish, and beyond! The b-sides from the singles off the album are equally mesmerizing! Bjork is a Goddess, no one can touch her!!!!

Portishead Dummy CD  (1994)

Vespertine album
CD $11.99  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Named for a town near Bristol, England, Portishead is a British dance band that grabs ideas from all over the mod pop world (spaghetti Western guitars, turntable scratching, melancholy soul vocals, atmospheric organs, house beats) and stirs them into spacey, dub-like productions that sound like a dance club in the middle of a "Twin Peaks" dream. You could call it surreal hip-hop pop. But if the beats on the band's debut album achieve a kind of trance-like static, the songs themselves reach for something more rousing. With ...

Bjork Debut CD  (1993)

Vespertine CD music
CD $12.79  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
With DEBUT, the Icelandic thrush Bjork Godmundsdottir (late of the Sugarcubes) brings her knowing innocence and quirky voice to bear on an engaging program of renegade pop tunes. The unusual instrumental textures on songs such as "Human Behavior," fleshed out with timpani, small percussion instruments, vibraphones and harps, suggests a post-modern version of Phil Spector. As a singer, Bjork's swooping octave leaps and guttural cries betray the elemental contradictions in her music. She projects the girlish innocence and barely constrained sensuality of a wise child, old beyond her years (the techno-reggae romanticism of "Venus As A Boy," the bouncy house changes of "Big Time Sensuality" and "Violently Happy"), and sometimes she sounds like she's trying to rediscover how such doe-eyed love might actually feel, as if for the first time (the mysterious groove of "One Day" and the jazzy standard "Like Someone In Love," with its spare harp accompaniment). There's a pronounced techno feel to DEBUT, with its airy synthesizers and spacious, uncluttered ...

Bjork Post CD  (1995)

Vespertine music CDs
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
POST, Bjork's second release as a solo artist, mines the fertile soil of the eclectic musical terrain of post-modern pop. The album throbs in and out of ambient cadences with techno beats, slips into showtune theatrics, then reels back to the dance floor. With a full plate of sounds already on the table, Bjork adds her own unique flare to the presentation, proving she is not easily pigeonholed. The lyrically-insistent opener, "Army Of Me," is a relentless electronic grind that is typical of Bjork's vibe, but POST also digs into Western music's more organic resources. "It's Oh So Quiet" may be a remake of an old Hollywood showtune, but Bjork's version transcends the song's silver screen aloofness on the strength of her delightful screams ("Zing, BOOM!!/You fall in love"). It is directly followed by "Enjoy," a lurching hypnotic nod with musical help from British trip-hop MC, Tricky; and the smooth, Bee Gees-like orchestration of "Isobel," a swooning accompaniment to strobe light bongo drums which announces that ...

Bjork Homogenic CD  (1997)

Vespertine songs
CD $13.65  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
HOMOGENIC was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Bachelorette was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. As one of modern music's most enigmatic and consistently entertaining personalities, Bjork has never shied away from the edge. Whether making straight ahead dance music, exploratory modern rock, or even show-tune-caliber drama, her vision has always remained innovative and original. Her voice jumps, in the space of a syllable, from a kitten-like purr to a banshee's howl, and is never anything less than captivating. HOMOGENIC, her latest musical endeavor, finds her plunging headlong into electronica, a form well-suited to her intense, offbeat phrasing and tone. From the skittering breakbeats and ghostly wails of the opening "Hunter" to the all-out electronic crash that is "Pluto," HOMOGENIC explores the melding of human and machine. The drama of "Bachlorette" finds a lush, rich string section following a ...

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Vespertine album
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine." Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor ...

Vespertine music CDs
CD $14.19  4 stars Audio Samples
With 2006's FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EARTH, the Strokes have not only crafted an album that cracks the 36-minute mark, they've also opted for a bolder sound, courtesy of veteran producer David Kahne. While these changes don't mean a drastically different direction for the New York City-based rock band, they do indicate that frontman Julian Casablancas and the boys are in a more adventurous mode. EARTH's initial single, the driving, hard-edged "Juicebox," features Casablancas giving a raspy vocal performance that sounds more impassioned than anything on the group's previous outings, while "On the Other Side" is an almost breezy tune that has the singer ...
