Happy Birthday Bjork

I bought 'Vespertine' on CD about 11 years ago and played it to death that Christmas.  I find I am listening to it a lot at the moment.  I first listened to 'Hidden Place' and was hypnotised by the beat.The acapella of the Greenland Ladies Choir (1:42) is so beautiful, it gives me shivers - almost like it articulates what I find difficult to say :-)

Back in the late nineties, I listened to all of her first three albums on heavy rotation - drawing and listening to music,always a favourite combination. I did a pen and ink one of Bjork from a b/w photo on her Debut album. I lost the pic somewhere in the house and now is listed as missing, presumed destroyed (which is annoying as it did look actually like her).

'Bachelorette' is quite soaring, almost symphonic and after listening to 'Hunter' or 'Unravel,' it was quite a dynamic piece of music to listen to.  This video has the albums original artwork by the late Alexander McQueen, as I think the original Michel Gondry video sucks (shame, because I liked the one Gondry did for Bjork's 'Isobel')
