Been listening some of the songs and they are quite awesome. Biophilia is a transformantion of nature, music and technology mixing together. I hope this album really would get people more interested about world, how it works and where we live. We know still so little from the place we live, about the seas and space. World is still there to be searched! There's Biophilia apps specially for apple Ipad etc. You can hear the opening app they made with David Attenborough:
Björk is some of the big artists that always keep evolving. She is some of the most inspiring artists ever. On this album she has took new elements again, bit more electro style and even a tesla coil! It is calm before the storm! Love the icelandic accent she has. Here you can find "Thunderbolt" performed live with a tesla coil! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQnFzcuL83o&feature=related
Björk - "Mutual Core"
On this album you can hear very often organs. In "Hollow" I would say they rock organs in a new way!
Would be actually really awesome to hear some of the songs from this album in a big church. It would get quite apocalyptic with the big sounds! Love the evolving of this song when the drum and bass style hits in the end, even tough I'm not a drum and bass fan but here it fits.
This album doesn't leave the listener in any sort of ease, it's not easy listening, but takes every part of your head with it. This you can't just put in the background and wash dishes, or I bet if I would try it I would get quite mixed up with everything big time! Listen this song from good speakers (no computer speakers) or headphones or good earplugs. It's awesome!
Björk - "Hollow"
Björk - "Crystalline" live at Jools Holland
This song has beautiful lyrics, parts like these really struck me:
I'm blinded by the lights, in the core of the earth.
I conquer claustrophobia and demand light.
We mimic the openness of the ones who we love.
It's the sparkle you become, when you conquer anxiety.
"Underneath our feet
Crystals grow like plants
I'm blinded by the lights
In the core of the earth
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing slowmo
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
We mimic the openness
Of the ones we love
Doth til' our generosity equalize(s) the flow
With our hearts
We kiss the quartz
To reach love
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
Octagon, polygon
Pipes up an organ
Sonic branches
Murmuring drone
Crystallizing galaxies
Spread out like my fingers
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing slowmo
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
It's the sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety"
Crystals grow like plants
I'm blinded by the lights
In the core of the earth
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing slowmo
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
We mimic the openness
Of the ones we love
Doth til' our generosity equalize(s) the flow
With our hearts
We kiss the quartz
To reach love
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
Octagon, polygon
Pipes up an organ
Sonic branches
Murmuring drone
Crystallizing galaxies
Spread out like my fingers
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
Internal Nebula
Rocks growing slowmo
I conquer claustrophobia
And demand the light
It's the sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety"
Here's a breath taking live performance of Cosmogony.
Björk - "Cosmogony" live in Jools Holland
Cosmogony has also very beautiful lyrics with I want to end this post. Here you can find what cosmogony is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogony It's about the beginning of it all.
"Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe
Was an empty sea
Until a silver fox
And her cunning mate began to sing
A song that became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe was a cold black egg
Until the god inside burst out
And from it's shattered shell
He made what became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me,
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe was an endless land
Until our ancestors woke up
And before they went back to sleep
They carved it up into the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me,
Make me wonder
They say back then our universe wasn't even there
Until a sudden bang
And then there was light, was sound, was matter
And it all became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me and dance eternal"
Whirl around me
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe
Was an empty sea
Until a silver fox
And her cunning mate began to sing
A song that became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe was a cold black egg
Until the god inside burst out
And from it's shattered shell
He made what became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me,
Make me wonder
And they say back then our universe was an endless land
Until our ancestors woke up
And before they went back to sleep
They carved it up into the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me,
Make me wonder
They say back then our universe wasn't even there
Until a sudden bang
And then there was light, was sound, was matter
And it all became the world we know
Heaven, heaven's bodies
Whirl around me and dance eternal"
