Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Icelandic iconoclast is a past master of deconstructing her studio recordings, and here she plays an active role in helping a crew of re-mixers and guest artistes get medieval with tracks off 1995's Post. Trip-hop, jungle, and industrial flavours will draw the Tricky crowd, and Brodsky Quartet puts a string-driven spin on "Hyperballad", but it's the lush Deodata treatment of "Isobel" that'll make your head spin. --Jeff Bateman
Description
TELEGRAM finds Bjork and her comrades polishing the rusty surfaces of pop music, creating new musical formations that glimmer and shine. These songs have been redecorated with thegracious elan that we have come to expect from this charismatic chanteuse. New installations of drum-and-bass textures,orchestral arrangements, trip-hop beats and hip-hop samplesare overlaid on the songs from POST, building upon their subtle post-modern beauty.
The Brodksy Quartet offers a modern-classical intepretation of "Hyperballad". "You're Flirting Again" gains a lush orchestration. "Headphones", by contrast, now features a sparse, tundra-like soundscape. The one new song, "My Spine", features Bjork crooning over a primitive backdrop of mystical chimes and bells, creating an organic incantation that sounds miles away from any territory thatpop music has traversed thus far.
