5 out of 5 stars Fascinating Box Set.......2007-08-20

The best way to understand Bjork is to see her perform her songs live. And this really nice four disc box set does just that.
It's quite interesting to see not only her songs come alive, but to see her performance develop.

Disc 1: VESSEL
This goes back to the Debut era - and has 11 live tracks on it:
Human Behaviour/ Atlantic (a song that is really difficult to get hold of) / One Day/ Venus As A Boy/ Come To Me/ Anchor Song/ Seroplane/ Big Time Sensuality/ There's More To Life Than This/ Violently Happy/ Crying

In between each track Bjork - has some interesting film footage on her viewpoint on music and life in London. There is a harmless feeling of naivety about it all which is quite sweet. This is the 'Bjork' that everyone always thinks of. However the other discs show her quite differently...

Disc 2: 'Shepherds Bush Empire'
This goes back to her 'POST' era. Track listing is:
Headphones/ Army Of Me/ One Day/ The Modern Things/ Venus As A Boy/ You've Been Flirting Again/ Isobel/ Possibly Maybe/ I Go Humble/ Big Time Sensuality/ Hyperballad/ Enjoy/ Human Behaviour/ Anchor Song/ I Miss You/ Crying/ Violently Happy

This is a straight forward live performance - and is abit of a party really. It's really big on sound and creative arrangements and quite volatile in some ways. Her performance is quite steely and interesting.

Disc 3: Cambridge
This is during her 'Homogenic' period. Tracks are:
Hunter/ Come to Me/ All Neon Like/ You've Been FLirting/ Isobel/ Immature/ Play Dead/ Alarm Call/ Human Behaviour/ Bachelorette/ Huperballad/ Pluto/ Anchor Song/ Joga

This includes a big string section and is quite fascinating to watch, as her performance feels a little isolated and lonely. It's filmed with less intimacy then her other DVDs, and she seems at her most vunerable here.

Disc 4: Royal Opera House
Recorded during 'Vespertine' era. Tracks are:
Frosti (actually it's Pagan Poetry on music box)/ Overture/ All Is Full Of Love/ Aurora/ Undo/ Generous Palmstroke/ An Echo. A Stain/ Hidden Place/ Cocoon/ Unison/ Harm Of Will/ It's Not Up To You/ Pagan Poetry/ Possibly Maybe/ Isobel/ Hyperballad/ Human Behaviour/ Joga/ It's In Our Hands

This is my favourite one of the lot. It's a really big DVD with loads of extras about the tour. The performance itself is also marvellous. Not only is their another orchestra, but an Icelandic choir and the marvellous band Matmos. It is amazing to see the kind of noises that are created out of different objects. And her glorious performance of Hypberballad has got such an adrenalin rush!

It's got a really nice sleeve to hold it all in and if you want to spend a few hours watching a very interesting creature in different guises then what better to watch then this. But at the end of it all - the music is the main thing. And it's wonderful!
