SURPRISE MOOPY ALBUM SYNC LISTEN - BJORK - DEBUT - 8PM SUNDAY 03/05

[GinAg (39)]

The Anchor Song always makes me cry

Yup.

 

[COB]

Oh there I go

 

[straightorbroken]

The Anchor Song really does work as an after-hours closer. Could it be called a torch song? I imagine she bought chips and cried a bit on the way home.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Same for me on Spotify - I'm going to search for the song and add it to the queue.

Yeah I have Spotify on in the background. Dunno about the YouTube. It was on the CD I had back in the day.

 

[octophone]

"Play Dead" was the first of her records I owned. 7". Her entrance is just spectacular...dunno why they mixed her so far back.

 

[COB]

Play Dead now, the DRAMA!

 

[straightorbroken]

Play Dead is just another realm of Bjork fantasia.

 

[lolly]

The lyrics of the chorus into the second verse of Play Dead fucking kills me.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Play Dead is just absolute majesty.

 

[COB]

A place called HATE!

 

[GinAg (39)]

It stops the HURSTING.

 

[dmlaw]

Play Dead is a little jarring in the context of the album. You can tell that it had a very different producer with a whole different production philosophy. Still a magic song though.

 

[COB]

I mean there's really no need since this basically IS one, but I really wish they'd given her a Bond theme.

 

[COB]

I did always hear 'private tortures' as 'private tortoise' for years though

 

[GinAg (39)]

I mean there's really no need since this basically IS one, but I really wish they'd given her a Bond theme.

To think ON TREND ARTIST Tina Turner was the next one!

 

[octophone]

Yeah, definitely feels like a bonus track but what a bonus track it is.

 

[octophone]

To think ON TREND ARTIST Tina Turner was the next one!

Written by fucking U2, as well.

 

[lolly]

It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every ache

I mean, fucking hell

 

[straightorbroken]

It ends far too soon!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Written by fucking U2, as well.

I didn't know that! I kinda liked it too.

 

[straightorbroken]

It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every ache

I mean, fucking hell

I've just realised she's not singing tortoise, not that I've ever questioned it.

 

[lolly]

Written by fucking U2, as well.

Produced by Nellee Hooper, though

 

[straightorbroken]

My youtube has went onto Yoga. Oh wow, what an evening of riches.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Produced by Nellee Hooper, though

What other major stuff has he worked on?

 

[octophone]

Nice one for a Sunday evening that, wasn't it?

 

[octophone]

My youtube has went onto Yoga. Oh wow, what an evening of riches.

That's my absolute favourite, I think. I have an 11 song CD which has several versions and a few other songs..the one with just the strings is just unreal.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Nice one for a Sunday evening that, wasn't it?

I wasn't even here!

 

[COB]

Nice one for a Sunday evening that, wasn't it?

Just what I needed, to be honest!

 

[straightorbroken]

That's my absolute favourite, I think. I have an 11 song CD which has several versions and a few other songs..the one with just the strings is just unreal.

I was almost hoping no beats would come in whatsoever, but I'm already engulfed in whatever is happening. I feel like I've been swallowed by an alien vagina and not complaining one bit quite frankly.

 

[dmlaw]

What other major stuff has he worked on?

Wikipedia says Bedtime Story and I want You for Madonna, Back To Life for Soul II Soul and Nothing Compares 2 U fr Sinead, amongst others.

 

[lolly]

What other major stuff has he worked on?

Soul II Soul
Nothing Compares To You for Sinead O'Connor
Protection for Massive Attack
Bedtime Stories and I Want You for Madonna
No Doubt and Gwen Stefani

 

[Zu]

More comforting threads like this for gentle if easily over-excited readers like myself please

 

[dmlaw]

Nice one for a Sunday evening that, wasn't it?

Yes, this was a very nice Sunday evening listen.

 

[GinAg (39)]

90s sultry gems then.

I did kinda know all that...

 

[straightorbroken]

I haven't heard a thing since Homogenic. Unison has started.. I'll call it a night after this and consider myself prepped for more later.

 

[lolly]

More comforting threads like this for gentle if easily over-excited readers like myself please

I've posted about a Radio 4 show in the Tim Brooke-Taylor thread.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Homogenic at 9.30 anyone?

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Nellee is genius like.

 

[lolly]

My Spotify has taken me into Goldfrapp's Happiness and now Grace's La Vie En Rose.

I very much approve of this groove.

 

[octophone]

Homogenic at 9.30 anyone?

We need to save the good albums for the proper threads...do something like Medulla or a remix album

(NB - sarcasm)
