5.0 out of 5 stars
The best videocompilation - again!, 26 Nov 2002
Volumen 2 is an updated version of Björk's greatest musicvideos "Volumen" from 1999. It is almost needless to say, that these are some of the best, most innovative videos ever made. Björk is always able to find and collaborate with groundbreaking artists (not only directors as but remixers, producers etc. as well) Take for instance the "All is full of love" video - Chris Cunningham have created a modern classic. Even some of my friends (who hates Björk!!!) admits, that this musicvideo is the best they've ever seen. Until now "Alarm call" has only been available on VHS or on a special japanese 2 dvd edition of Volumen.The tracklist is as follows: 01. Human behaviour (directed by Michel Gondry) 02. Venus as a boy (Sophie Muller) 03. Play dead (Danny Cannon) 04. Big time sensuality (Stéphane Sednaoui) 05. Violently happy (Jean-Baptiste Mondino) 06. Army of me (Michel Gondry) 07. Isobel (Michel Gondry) 08. It's oh so quiet (Spike Jonze) 09. Hyperballad (Michel Gondry) 10. Possibly maybe (Stéphane Sednaoui) 11. I miss you (John Kricfalusi) 12. Joga (Michel Gondry) 13. Bachelorette (Michel Gondry) 14. Hunter (Paul White) All tracks above is also available on the old Volumen. The soundquality is 2.0 PCM (stereo). 15. Alarm call (Directed by Alexander McQueen - 2.0 PCM) 16. All is full of love (Chris Cunningham - 2.0 PCM) 17. Hidden place (Inez van Lamsweerde, Vinoodh Matadin & M/M (Paris) - 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround sound) 18. Pagan poetry (Nick Knight - 5.1) 19. Cocoon (Eiko Ishioka - 5.1) 20. It's in our hands (Spike Jonze - 2.0 PCM) 21. Nature is ancient (LynnFox - 2.0 PCM) The last 7 tracks is also available on a new dvd called "Volumen+", ment to all of those, who already owns the old Volumen. I had hoped that all tracks was remixed in DD 5.1, but at least the 2.0 PCM have a high quality, so if you're concidering buying this dvd instead of her greatest hits cd, the sound is no obstacle. Enjoy! (the hardcore and the gentle)
