БЬОРК Гадмансдотии родилась 21 ноября 1965 года в семье
преподавательницы айкидо и электрика, в крохотной деревушке с
населением в 100 тыс. человек - Рейкьявике. Внешне Бьорк похожа на
маму, которая славилась самыми длинными волосами в Исландии, множеством
марокканских браслетов и разных фенек. Родители развелись, когда Бьорк
было всего 3 года. "Мой отчим - местный хиппи - не признавал
дисциплину, ненавидел работу и целыми днями рассказывал мне сказки и
играл со мной, - вспоминает Бьорк. - Я попала в настоящую коммуну
хиппи, где то и дело можно было услышать: "Давайте разрисуем дом
лиловыми бабочками (теперь на этот цвет у меня аллергия). Давайте 2 дня
подряд есть только бананы! Меня научили всем делиться, доводить дело до
конца, никого не бояться и каждый день проживать как последний. Я с
детства ходила на охоту, готовила на костре пойманную дичь и могла
пропадать на дикой природе по несколько дней. Неудивительно, что моими
первыми самостоятельными покупками стали палатка и спальный мешок".



С
5 лет девочка изучала флейту, фортепьяно, вокал, училась играть на арфе
в школьном оркестре. В 11 лет отчим и учительница музыкальной школы
помогли Бьорк выпустить первый альбом (обложку для него нарисовал отец
певицы). Пластинка стала платиновой... Тогда же Бьорк начала
собирать... звуки. В ее коллекции - запись, сделанная во время
землетрясения в Лос-Анджелесе, треск машины для изготовления попкорна,
храп собственного дедушки... Все они впоследствии стали основой для ее
песен. Еще два увлечения певицы - смешивание различных жанров (техно,
рок, хаус, джаз, альтернативный рок, классика) и поэзия, без которой
она не может ни есть, ни спать, ни заниматься любовью.



Уже
будучи взрослой, Бьорк прыгала с парашютом, пыталась водить машину
(результат - 10 аварий в течение года), но даже это не могло заменить
ей самые яркие воспоминания хиппового детства.



Безумства "Бедного Бьорика"



В
14 лет Бьорк выкрасила волосы в оранжевый цвет, организовала
панк-группу "Слюни и сопли", а чуть позже бросила школу, которую
последние два года совмещала с работой в кофейнях, гостиницах, разносом
по домам книг (преимущественно исландских саг) и чисткой рыбы на
заводе. Кстати, ее первые песни родились как раз под индустриальный шум
рыборазделки. Бьорк сняла комнату, позже - квартиру вместе с подругой
Диддой, с которой они раз в месяц покупали на барахолке поношенную
одежду, а спустя два года сделали одинаковые татуировки - изображение
компаса, "помогающего найти свой путь в жизни". В 18 лет они почти
одновременно вышли замуж, а через год обе развелись. Муж Бьорк - Тор
Элдон был панком, последний официальный бойфренд - звезда джангла, а
вообще она всегда любила футболистов: "Футбол - это праздник
оплодотворения. 11 сперматозоидов пытаются попасть в одно яйцо". Для
нее важнее любить самой, чем быть любимой. Она против расчета, который
убивает любовь. А ее любовники - это просто друзья, с которыми у нее
случился секс. Но особенно Бьорк счастлива, когда немного пьяна. По
слухам, в этом же состоянии "абсолютного счастья" Бьорк дала пощечину
журналистке таиландского телевидения, которая, встретив певицу у трапа
самолета, позволила себе расспросить ее о сыне. А вот наркотиков в
жизни Бьорк не существует. В качестве допинга она предпочитает кофе и
земляные орешки.



За свою творческую жизнь Бьорк успела попасть
в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса как обладательница трех British Awards,
получить премию за лучшую женскую роль в картине Ларса фон Триера
"Танцующая в темноте", которая на Каннском фестивале была удостоена
главного приза - Золотой пальмовой ветви (Бьорк подарила ее подружке).
По словам очевидцев, съемки в фильме стоили певице нескольких нервных
срывов. Режиссер фильма Ларс фон Триер сначала в течение года
уговаривал Бьорк сняться, а потом совсем ее затюкал. Обычно Бьорк после
очередных воплей Ларса молча исчезала со съемок (ее находили и
возвращали), потом впала в глубокую меланхолию, а однажды в течение
часа рвала зубами и жевала одежду своей героини... Таким образом, с
кинокарьерой "бедного Бьорика" было покончено.

"Bjork" is the real name, not a stage name or surname. Icelanders have no surnames. In Iceland, the peoples called his own name (the data at birth), with the addition of the father's name (and sometimes the mother) The word «bjork» by Icelandic means "birch"

Исландская исполнительница Бьорк поучаствовала в записи саунд-трека к готовящемуся к выходу детскому фильму о приключениях семьи Муми-троллей - потомков скандинавских троллей.

Специально для детского фильма финской киностудии Filmkompaniet Бьорк и её коллега, исландский поэт Сьон, написали песню под названием "The Comet Song". Будет ли она издана отдельным релизом, не уточняется. Бьорк и Сьорн являются большими поклонниками Муми-троллей, передаёт focus.ua.

Релиз картины по сказке "Муми-тролль и комета" состоится в конце лета - начале осени 2010 года.

Многие говорят , что её невозможно слушать. Многие говорят, Что на неё невозможно смотреть. Лично мне на это наплевать. Один из моих любимых фильмов это - "Танцующая во тьме". Сложный, противоречивый фильм, который заставляет думать, а не тупо смеяться глупым шуткам. Bjork просто поражает. Невозможно так играть. Так только жить можно! А как она улыбается! Такое чувство, будто солнце выглянуло из-за облаков! Трогательно и прочувсвованно поёт. Впрочем про пение нужно отдельно говорить! Никто так доверчиво и свободно не относится к вокалу, как она... Она не поет, она разговаривает со слушателем.... Или с тем, кому предназначена песня...Неординарные и яркие клипы. Она всегда разная. Она всегда узнаваема.

When Bjork was born in Reykjavik (Iceland), did not promise that it will become the most famous in the world isladnskim musician and the most recognizable citizen of his country. As a child she learned to play the flute and piano, studying vocal. In 1979, in 15 years under the strong influence of creativity Siouxsie and the Banshees, she took her first musical group of post-punk - Tappi Tikarass.  
In 1982, two songs were included in the collection of radio Icelandic New Wave 'Rock in Reykjavik', and Bjork was prizanana nabolee promising young talent. In 1983, Bjork and other stars of the waves were invited to address a single group at a special radio program. She and several others, including Einar Orn and Sigtryggur Baldursson work well and the fall of that year created a new group - Kukl. By the time the second and last album Tappi Tikarass released late in 1983, a new collective Kukl became the main place of creativity Bjork. In the next two years of Björk with the group released two albums, had a tour of Europe and began to develop jazz in the style of jazz and political post-punk. By mid-1986 Kukl exhausted itself.
 
June 8, 1986 at the Bjork and her husband, guitarist Thor Eldon, a son Sindri, and on the same day, was founded a new group of two happy parents and several members of the team Kukl. By the end of the year they decided on the name of the group: Sykurmolarnir, but in English - Sugarcubes (sugar cubes).
 
The success of the Icelandic version of their pevogo dreamy and distinct from other signla Birthday (Birthday) in 1987 led to the signing of the contract with the record company Elektra. The spring of 1988 their debut - the album Life's Too Good (Life is too good) has received rave reviews in America. In addition to the Birthday jangl-and somewhat confusing single Motrocrash also received a good share of the ether. However, the second CD entitled Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week (Here today, tomorrow, next week) was not so highly rated.
 
In 1990, Björk took time out to write Gling-Glo - album of traditional Icelandic jazz tunes. Despite the fact that in 1992 released their third album Sugarcubes Stick Around for Joy (Mike Happyness) include single, just called Hit (Hit), the group disbanded. By this time all the glory focused on Bjork and began her solo career was a logical outcome. 'Swan song' Sugarcubes became a remix album It's - It (That's) released in 1992 - a forerunner of solo work with dance Bjork remission. Break with her husband, Bjork and her son moved to London in 1993.
 
This enabled her to work with producers of the British music scene - one of the finest, Nellee Hooper, worked on his first solo album of Bjork - Debut (debut). Highlight the zamechalnym Siglo Human Behaviour (Human behavior), which used cymbals and guitar, Debut has been widely recognized: from the defeat of the magazine Rolling Stone to praise others. The reality was reflected in the figures: the size of sales Debut Bjork finally adopted as a star in America.
 
In 1995, Bjork continued with melancholic album Post. He did not sell with the same success as Debut despite very enticing video from Busby Berkeley to Blow a Fuse (It's Oh So Quiet) (struck out the fuse (oh, so quiet around)) - extravaganza in the style of big-band-jazz. 1997 began with the release of the album Telegram (Telegram), in which nearly every track from the Post was a remix or overwritten with various accomplices from Dillinja, Deodato to the Brodsky Quartet. Where else would Bjork can only guess ... All players Runet on AudioMarket.ru! CD, MP3, MD, cassette players, voice recorders, headphones .... Discography: Homogenic 1. Hunter 2. Joga 3. Unravel 4.

Bjork Gudmundsdottir was born November 21, 1965 in Reykjavik. Perhaps only this bureaucratic phrase, and is available in its biography. Because the standard "description of the creative ways of" man created so virtuosic, unique, dusherazdirayusche beautiful music to Bjork difficult to apply. Nevertheless ...

Her stepfather was a hippie (Bjork's parents divorced when she was 3 years after birth), and Bjork, thus, was a true "child of flowers, grown in the free atmosphere hippovskoy commune.

Although the title of her first solo album "Debut" and implied that this is the first work of Bjork, in fact she was a professional singer since childhood.

As a child, she studied flute, piano and vocals, knock together, so a decent background of musical education.

In 1977 in Iceland, where Bjork was still at primary school, was released this debut album by Bjork, who just called and down - "Bjork". She wrote it at age 11, was already showing a stubborn and determined man. Her teacher from Reykjavik's music school record brought the young singer on local radio station, where they have an interest in record label Falkinn. Recording the album took place in August - September 1977, at the studio Hloudrita in Hafnafordure.
 
Björk's mother Hildur Hauksdouttir invited my friends - musicians, bassist and drummer Paulmi Gunnarsson Sigurður Karlsson to take part in the recording, and they in turn took the case seriously and have attracted to participate in recording the best musicians in Iceland. Results The album includes 10 tracks, including some Icelandic folk songs and cover versions of such hits 70 as "Christopher Robin" Melani, "Your Kiss Is Sweet" Stevie Wonder and "Fool On The Hill" The Beatles, except to the album also included instrumental composition "Youhannes Kyarval" which Björk wrote myself. The album features Bjork participated not only as a vocalist, in a few songs she sang musical party on the flute and piano. After the release of this disc Bjork received a very great fame in his native country.

Bjork has already become famous, but so far only in Iceland.

Prior to her solo career in 1995, Björk managed to work with three groups.

In the late 70's Bjork was very partial to punk - in 1979 she organized a post-punk group called Exodus, and the following year she sang in Jam 80. In 81, Bjork and Exodus bassist Jakob Magnusson formed a group "Tappi Tikarrass" ( "Shut your bitch (or bitch) ass") and recorded a minion "Bitid Fast I Vitid" at the company Spor. Two years later - in 1983 - an album "Miranda". Thereafter with Einar Orn Benediktsson, and Thor Eldon (who later became her husband), she organized a group Kukl ( "Witchcraft"). Before Kukl gradually evolved into Sugarcubes (this happened in the summer of 1986), they released two albums: "The Eye" (1984) and "Holidays in Europe" (1986).

June 8, 1986 at the Bjork and her husband and guitarist Thor Eldon, a son named Sindri. On the same day, was founded a new group, which includes two happy parents, plus several members Kukl. By the end of the year they came up with a final name for the group Sykurmolarnir, or, in English, Sugarcubes. Great success for the new team began to release the first single "Birthday" in 1987 as a result of signing a contract with Elektra Records.

The Sugarcubes became one of the rare Icelandic group, which managed to escape outside their country. In the spring of 1988 in the United States was released their debut album "Life's Too Good", which quickly became the Anglo-American hit. In the next 4 years the team has strengthened its popularity and became a cult in the U.S. and Britain.

Second album "Here Today Tomorrow Next Week" (1989), however, did not bring the same profit.

In 90, Bjork has recorded several jazz standards and original compositions with jazz bebop group Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar. His work with the trio Gudmundur Ingólfsson Bjork started with a few joint performances in night clubs - her voice is ideally suited for jazz vocals. The process of creating the album "Gling-Glo" is very unusual (which is, for example the fact that for recording 14 songs the musicians took only 17 hours of joint studio work). Album "Gling-Glo", unfortunately, was released only in Iceland.

Although their third album in 1992 Sugarcubes "Stick Around for Joy" - was really cool, the band broke up in the same year - so tense at that time were the relations between Bjork and Eldon. Thank Sugarcubes Bjork has centered around, but somehow, she herself was more inclined to "Solo Voyage". [In 1998, the label Elektra / Asylum, which Bjork has cooperated for many years, has released a compilation Sugarcubes "Great Crossover Potential" with 14 tracks from the previously album - approx. Ed.]

Then Bjork and her son in 1993, moved to London and began a solo career. However, rather than to follow the subtle guitar lines Sugarcubes, Björk immersed in the world of dance and club music.

She has worked with such luminaries of the genre, as Nellee Hooper (producer, who had previously been known by Soul II Soul and Massive Attack), Underworld, and Tricky. "Debut", her first album (not counting the Icelandic records, which she did in 11 years), not only approved it on a new artistic direction, but by becoming an international hit, made her the most original star of the 90's.

The first result of cooperation Bjork and Hooper was the single "Human Behaviour", which was released in June 1993. The song entered the British Top 40, setting the successful 3 rd place the album "Debut". During 1993, Bjork did not leave the British charts with the songs "Venus as a Boy", "Big Time Sensuality", and "Play Dead". In the U.S. hits "Human Behavior", "Big Time Sensuality" and "Violently Happy" actively spinning rock radio and MTV. Songs Bjork were cheers by reviewers and the public on both sides of the Atlantic. At the end of the year the most influential British music weekly magazine "New Musical Express" called "Debut" album of the year, and Bjork was singer and the opening of the Year BRIT. "Debut" was certified gold in the U.S. and platinum in Britain.

During 1994, Björk recorded a second album with Nellee Hooper, Tricky, Graham Macey from 808 State, Skunk Anansie and Howie B. of Mo'Wax Records. At the same time she released a remix, participated in writing the music for the Madonna album "Bedtime Stories" (for which Björk wrote the song "Bedtime Story") and performed on MTV Unplugged. "Army of Me", the first single from the forthcoming album, Björk, released in spring 1995, he debuted in tenth place in Britain and became an alternative rock hit in the U.S..

"Post", her second album, was published in June 1995 and received a good reception when they reached second place in the UK and up to 32 th in the U.S.. Commercially it was not as successful as the "Debut", but helped Bjork become a second time winner of awards BRIT. Singles from "Post" - "Isobel", "It's Oh So Quiet" and "Hyperballad" were successful in Britain, but not in the U.S..

In late 1996, Björk released "Telegram" - a collection of radical remixes of songs from the album "Post", a collection published in the United States in January 1997.

The latter - at least a pilot and bright - album Bjork "Homogenic" was released in 1997.

On this album, there is little information - and it is not surprising - he recorded more than 6 months in a secluded studio in southern Spain. Bjork herself in an interview after the release of the album "challenging". It is known that a very strong influence on the emotional disposition of "Homogenic" has had an attempt on the life of Bjork - 1996 24-year-old fan of Ricardo Lopez sent her a mail bomb, packed with sulfuric acid and a videotape in which he confesses his love for the singer and sounds song "I Miss You" lets put a bullet in his head (another version of Ricardo Lopez Bjork accused in connection with a black musician Goldie, in favor of this interpretation of the fact that before his suicide, Ricardo Lopez shaved his skull and struck on the head and face paint ritual) . The bomb had time to intercept and neutralize workers from Scotland Yard (parcel was sent to the home address in London, Bjork), but this singer has become a major psychological shock. Her condition is fully passed on to the music. According to Bjork, this album is made in the same emotional vein, which is reflected in the title. "Homogenic" - not really an existing word, it means nothing, but refers to the integrity, homogeneity. This quality album is very noticeable in comparison to previous albums, which represented a kaleidoscope of styles and music making.

Last three years after the release of "Homogenic" Bjork "slid" all his musical projects for work on the painting "Dancer in the Dark."

And now, after hours and on the film, and on the soundtrack to it ( "Selma Songs"), Björk continues to work on a new solo album (more on the music for the film and its relation to the picture of Björk and Lars von Trier read Interviews and film sections - approx. ed.).

"I kept writing songs, to stay sane at the moment the album is not finished yet, but I had already made eight or nine songs - she said in a recent interview. - New album will be the exact opposite of" Homogenic ". It's hard to explain because I am in the middle of working on it. "Homogenic" was full of confrontation. Emotionally, all of it was eleven, and string and percussion instruments. It was as if each grabbed a flag and a trumpet, and tu-tu-ru-tu! " Björk pretends to play the trumpet. "If" Homogenic "was eleven, my new job will be to minus eleven. It is a very happy album, while" Homogenic ", I think it was evil. He is very happy and quiet, and very intravertny, very micro."

Bjork plans to release a new album Vespertine in 2001-2 respectively. Experiments continue ...

P.S. This is not the end of a full biography was not a word about the video of Bjork. However, this is a separate and very interesting topic that deserves a whole site.
The singer, pianist and composer Björk (Bjork Gundmundsdottir real name) was born October 12, 1966 in Iceland.

After trying a few garage bands in Reykjavik in June 1986 organized a group of Bjork Sugarcubes, in the early 90's became very popular outside of Iceland. In the mid-90's Bjork began a successful solo career, which peaked on her solo album «Post» (1995), quickly reached the top mark of the American hit parade; issued separate singles were successful songs «Army Of Me», «Enjoy and «I Miss You».

BJORK Icelandic singer Bjork Gudmundsdottir (Bjork Gundmundsdottir), better known simply as Bjork, born November 21, 1965 in Reykjavik in the most ordinary family. She showed early musical abilities. At the age of five, was admitted to the Special Music School, where for ten years she studied in classes of vocals, piano and flute. At age 11, after a speech on national radio with the song "I Love To Love", Bjork recorded her first album, titled simply by its name (includes cover versions of pop standards from the Beatles to Stevie Wonder, as well as things Icelandic composers). Bjork sang and played the flute.
 
The disc went platinum, but to renew the contract and record the new disc does not become a girl. She soon realized that in art there are no easy ways. And I began to find its way - the only and unique. This road runs through a girl's punk command Spit And Snot ( «Spit and harchok"), "garage" band Exodus and another punk band Tappi Tikarrass (untranslatable Icelandic curse). The latter even recorded two albums (1981 and 1983).
 
All this time she never ceased to study at music school, which successfully and zakanchila. Again, the reluctance to follow the smooth path, justifying the title of "prodigy" - Bjork played for clubs, banged drums in a group, worked on the vocals then one, then the other team. Finally, a community of like-minded musicians transformed into a group KUKL ( «The Witch" in Icelandic), plays post-punk with a gothic slant. KUKL also released two albums - «The Eye» (1984) and «Holidays in Europe» (1986), on Crass Records.
 
The summer of 1986 a group KUKL was transformed into the Sugarcubes. Birthday Party and became the birthday of the son Bjork - syndrome. Soon Björk married the child's father, guitarist Sugarcubes TOUR Eldona. Sugarcubes - one of the few Icelandic groups, gained fame outside his native country. The team signed a contract with the «One Little Indian» in Britain and «Elektra Records» in the States. Debut album Sugarcubes «Life's Too Good» was released in 1988 and was welcomed by critics.
 
Main attention attracted, of course, the young and eccentric singer Bjork - she looked like a flame, which could not blow any wind. But musician friends very quickly become entangled in personal relationships (for example, Bjork and TOUR decided to divorce, but the drummer with vocals, by contrast, got married - in Iceland it is possible). All this did not prevent the band released their second album «Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week!» (1989), more experimentation, rather than pop-rock debut, and therefore more cool adopted criticism.
 
Group toured, but in 1990 all its members decided to take time out and temporarily take their own affairs. Bjork for the period of cooperation with the Sugarcubes starred in several roles in the movies, and in 1990 recorded a few jazz standards and original compositions with the Icelandic jazz group Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar (album «Gling-Glo» was released only on the singer's home country). At the same time, she became interested in new musical directions, including electronic - the traditional set of instruments, "old" sound does not suit her more.
 
In 1992 came the remix album «It's It was» and the third LP Sugarcubes "Stick Around for Joy". Posledniybyl passed very well, but for Bjork work with this group is not so interesting. After moving to London, she began a solo career. Already a year earlier Bjork try their hand at the arena-style house, singing a song «Ooops» Graham Massey - author Poyekt 808 State. Bjork is also working with a prominent producer of Nellee Hooper, recording with a single «Human Behaviour», which in 1993 is included in the Top 40.
 
This prepares the ground for the first full-length album, which ranks third in the charts, despite the fact that it was conceived as a totally non-profit. Album gets called «Debut» - thus Bjork stresses that re-starts all over again, and this time completely independently. Unusual, almost artificial, as though not of this world, and at the same time very touching image created by Bjork, enthusiastically adopted by the public. Two more singles - «Venus as a Boy», «Big Time Sensuality", as well as nealbomnaya "Play Dead", written with David Arnold as the soundtrack to «Young Americans» radiohitami are on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
Criticism breathless enthusiasm, noting the originality and depth of talent Bjork and at the same time tormented by the definition of the style of music. Bjork's voice, bewitching, infantile, and at the same time expressive, breaking with a gentle cantabile of whining, with a whisper in the roar, once heard, can not forget anybody. At the end of the year, the magazine NME called "Debut" album of the year, it becomes gold in the U.S. and platinum in Britain. Bjork gets the prize BRIT Awards as best actress in the world. The most experienced and well-known house musicians - from Fluke to Underworld - create remixes for Björk, occupying the top lines in the dance charts. Unconditional recognition of the talent the young actress was the fact that Madonna herself turned to her with a proposal to sponsor the title song for her new album «Bedtime Stories».
 
In 1994, Bjork appears unplugged on MTV. Unlike many other singers (and singers), whose debut was the sunset of their own, Bjork all their creativity further showed that the bright spark in the beginning of the road broke out in a flame, stirring, nervous, sometimes muted, but then again flashes even more. Each succeeding album Bjork - «Post» (1995, for which the singer was the second time BRIT Award as Best International Female Artist), «Telegram» (1996, conceived as a remix of «Post», but the result is a completely separate album), experimentation -minimalist «Homogenic» (1997), «Selmasongs» (2000), «Vespertine» (2001) - original, wonder and delight in the integrity and detail work.
 
From touching and fresh «Debut» to mature «Vespertine» Bjork has come a long way, but it has kept its main quality - she left the child, looking at the world with their eyes wide open, which (perhaps due to bizarre sequence) see what do not see ordinary people. She was always herself, and while its otherness, "otherness" and sincerity at times was so blatant that even a bogey. However, Bjork, as already mentioned, never liked to work alone, and her music is constantly being exposed to someone with whom at the moment collaborated actress.
 
Graham Massey and Nellee Hooper, who contributed to the "Debut", "electronic genius" Tricky and Howie Bi, produced by «Post», composer and producer Mark Bell, who invested much effort in albums «Homogenic» and «Selmasongs», Vince Mendoza and Mark "Spike" Stent, who participated in the work «Selmasongs» and «Vespertine», king of drum and bass Goldi - their role in the life and work of Bjork was different. However, it should be noted that the details of his private life very Bjork protects, and is often said that the only man in her life - a son, Sindri. Like the lives of most artists, her fate has not been without disappointment.
 
Disruption of voting which brought a long and persistent treatment, violent outbursts, which forced Bjork pounce and beat the journalist, who wanted something to ask Syndrome in Bangkok airport, crazy fan, knock out their brains with a pistol after Bjork sent by mail bomb (which the police miraculously managed to intercept) - all this leads to depression and the need to overestimate the value. But perhaps someone else's invisible eye experiences become a source of inspiration.
 
In 1999, Bjork starred in the popular film director Lars von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark", starring Selma, a woman with a difficult life, gave their lives for the salvation of his own son. Bjork also composed all the music for this film-drama. In 2000, the soundtrack «SelmaSongs», regarded by many as the new Bjork album. For his role in this movie Bjork at the Cannes Film Festival received the title of best actress. Native Iceland bestowed his daughter's glorious castle, outside the walls of which she can feel safe and in complete safety. And France, in 2001 awarded her the Order of Knights.
 
By 2001, he was almost ready material for a new "registration" album - «Vespertine», whose output is, however, was postponed at the end of August 2001. This CD is once again confirmed that Bjork - one of the most original, brightest and, of course, talented artists in contemporary pop music.
