Bjork is a brilliant artist. It will be great to see a concert film in HD.

AFI Silver is showing this tonight and Saturday night on the big screen

I will get the Blu-ray for sure I love me some Bjork (my Iceland sister from another mother).

Hopefully this will be of better quality than the "When Bjork Met David Attenborough" blu-ray. (Which should have been a supplement to "Biophilia Live" instead)

I think Homogenic and Vespertine were the high watermarks of her career yeah, but I didn't mind Medulla and Biophilia. There was a certain downbeat quality to them but they slowly sink in after repeated listens. I prefer them both to Debut which I could never really get on with. Volta, however, is definitely my least favourite album of hers.

I saw this show in Manchester UK back in July 2011 and loved it.

biophilia is right up there with debut/post/homogenic/vespertine imo... my fav track is cosmogony...just as good as hyperballad/unravel/all is full of love

medulla was a bit too wierd for me.

volta only had a few good songs and a lot of filler. i did go to a volta concert though :P it was cool.

Hmm it looks like they pulled the listing. It was there when I placed my order on Oct 14 though.

I saw the tour in SF and I didn't much care for this film.
I had such high hopes but imo it kinda fell flat. I love the music on Biophilia so its not that.

Why didn't they leave in the Attenborough intros to each song? I loved what they added to the performance.
Why not highlight the cool new instruments used on the album?
And yes When Bjork met Attenborough should absolutely be a special feature on this disc.

I'll still buy this because its the first Bjork on blu, but not for a while.

IMO best cuts from the film are Mouth's Cradle, One Day (any song with the hang really), and Virus

wonkavision · 11-25-2014, 09:30 PM

I think I'm going to get this. Awhile ago I was watching YouTube videos of this tour and I really liked what I was seeing/hearing.

I'd also like to add that I appreciate this type of live concert release packaging. It's great to have the blu-ray and the full audio CD's of the live concert as well all in one package.
