I love this album. It's one of Bjork's most intimate. It's etherial, delicate and dreamlike. Mostly produced out of her home in Iceland, Björk set out to create a “quiet” album with sounds that felt like they were being whispered into your ear. Employing “microbeats” she finds unconventional sounds to add texture and percussion. If you're a fan of Burial, you'll recognize how this technique can employ layers of sound and atmosphere. She would also work closely with Matmos, an experimental electronic duo, who contributed detailed textures using unconventional samples, such as recordings of insects walking on leaves. Real headphone listening. I'd also like to add that hearing "Pagan Poetry" live (perhaps whilst of some form of mind altering substance) is quite transcendent.
