This CD should have accompanied Post, and been the Post album. To me, Post was a very inspirational album. One of the most mind-stimulating albums I’ve heard. I listened to it night and day for probably four to five months. The lyrics, her voice, the rhythm, I didn’t want to overplay this CD so I let it rest for a while. Then my brother “borrowed” the CD and messed it up, and then he lost it. Then one day I was browsing through the record store’s used section seeking another copy of Post and I new Bjork CD’s misplaced in the used section. I only had enough money to get something under ten dollars, and then I saw it. $7.95 for a brand new Bjork CD? It was too good to be true, I haven’t really heard much about Telegram, but all I know is I have an MP3 from the song and it seemed like it was worth getting. So, I realized why don’t I get it anyways? The other stores in my area marked up the CD for like $5-10 more, so it’s a bargain. Let the journey begin.
Possibly Maybe (LFO mix):
When I saw this on the CD, I was too scared to listen to it. The initials LFO make me sick because of the boy band. They try to sound Hip-Hop and say they are paying homage, but it’s more likes they p*ss on the culture. That’s another story. This LFO is another one from what I heard. This is the LFO I like. This song is for all the Trip-Hop junkies. The original song in Post was actually my most favorite pieces. In my old website I even made the front page have the lyrics to this song. LFO does such a good job remixing this song. The way her voice is altered adds even more emotion to it. The way this song impacted me was as equal to the original mix. Good job LFO, too bad a boy band stole your name.
HyperBallad (featuring the Brodsky Quartet):
I download MP3’s and then buy them. This is the song that got me up through so many cold mornings. After taking a hot shower, I always play my MP3’s and this is the song that is well repeated. The Brodsky Quartet is from Bjork’s Homeland and knows how to improve on a song that is already magnificent. To be honest, I don’t like all those remixes made for this song. I don’t have the proof, but there were so many club remixes of this song it almost made it as annoying as the Macarena. This song changes that; this is the best remix of hyperballad to date. Come on she’s performing with a Quartet that has a very powerful sound and she has a very powerful voice. It starts at a very low volume, but as the Quartet puts more passion into their playing Bjork also follows along and goes higher and higher following the cue of the Quartet. I wish I had a Lexus, so I can drive around the woods with this playing; it makes me feel so intelligent.
Enjoy (outcast/ over the edge mix):
This is one of the mediocre songs in the CD. I love the beat, but the vocals and distortion; it’s too abstract! The only cool thing about this song is if you watch a fashion show with no music, just play this throughout the show for some ambience. Perfect for Couture designers. The original is so much better especially of Tricky's genius with the production of it.
My Spine (Evelyn Glennie):
It’s one of those songs that truly display Bjork’s talents. Not found in Post, an original song in the CD. The lyrics are off the wall, but her voice ornamentation and the African thumb piano like sound make it even better. It makes me want to dance in a forest with bears. A style that many singers cannot match.
I miss you (Dobie Rub Part One-Sunshine Mix featuring Rodney P. of London Posse):
I love the hip-hop beat going on in this song. A very relaxed beat that still makes one want to shake what their Mama gave them. I can’t lie; I also liked the original mix of this song. Although the pulse of the song is much better, the original makes me want to do some crazy Ren and Stimpy cartoon stuff (watch the video), this background goes much better with her lyrics and voice. The only thing that might have made the song a little sour is Rodney P.’s rapping. It’s so-so, and only one minute long. Maybe the his verse lasts only over 50 seconds, and the lyrics need to be as hard hitting as Bjork’s lyrics. Bjork has the “stalker like” lyrics and this guy is coming “with girl on the corner he saw” lyrics. It just doesn’t go.
Isobel (Deodato):
Another Post hit remixed. It sounds like some airline commercial tune they play in Europe. It does sound a little bit better than the original, but it still doesn’t strike me.
You’ve Been Flirting Again (Bjork):
Since I lost my Post CD, I don’t remember if this song was on there or not. However, I love the tranquility of this song. It’s very romantic and calming. This is the perfect song to slow dance to. Don’t laugh, I like to slow dance with girls. It would even be better if it were ballroom dancing. If Disney had this song on one of their movies, they’d make a killing. I love the violins. This is a perfect transition for the next song.
Cover Me (Dilinja remix):
This is one of those most wicked Drum and Bass beats I’ve heard. Every time I play this in someone’s car everyone can’t stop bouncing to this beat. Grade A dance floor material!
Army of Me (Graham Massey remix):
The original producer of this song goes higher than the highest. I thought the original song was already hard-hitting, but Mr. Massey blows my ears away. I love the 808’s kicking in the song. I love the distorted guitars, and Bjork’s voice. There is one part of the song that sounds so cool it can even be beat matched to a jungle tune. Even more anger involved than the original version.
Headphones (Mika Vainio remix):
I liked the original, but the only setback about it was it was recorded too low. I guess the composition recommends it be heard through headphones. This version does need more vocals to be involved. Recorded at a higher volume making that another plus. However this song is too long and can be shortened.
I Miss You (album version):
I don’t know why they threw this song in. Maybe it’s for people who haven’t purchased Post. I love the lyrics and the vocals and the zany congas and other instruments involved. Very animated.
11 songs for $7.95, I feel I purchased a good bargain here. It does stand the test of time like most Bjork albums do. This is worth checking out for Bjork fans and those curious about Bjork.
