0230. Björk
Vespertine
Björk's sixth solo-album sounds very... organically mechanical.
Minimalistic beats blended with large soundscapes and sampled sounds of life creates the feeling of an album that is some state between the living and the automated.
Of course it's mostly about the voice, though (Björk's kind of famous for it, y'know). In Hidden Place it almost sounds computer-generated while in Cocoon it's more like in Venus As A Boy (from her Debut-album).
Vespertine isn't the kind of album you put on as background music or when you want to hit the dancefloor, but when you want to listen dedicatedly.
