Free Music Review: Excellent Collection -- Lacking A Bit In Literature
Hit: 4 Stars

I found this at a local music store in New York for 35 bucks, so I would recommend going somewhere other than Amazon for it, but I would certainly recommend getting it.

There are a few songs I never would have heard if I didn't get it and many of the alternate versions are actually quite a bit better than the originals. A lot of the tracks are taken down a notch so her voice is really highlighted and several of the tracks really blow my mind. All of the stuff with the string quartet is incredible; the Icelandic version of "Birthday" (the Sugarcubes hit) is wonderful, and even the Greatest Hits According to Bj?rk, which could perhaps seem a bit useless, is a very interesting addition to my growing half-knowledge of the lovely Icelandic lady.

The downside to all of this is that there is not so much beyond the music in this expensive and quite small box set. The design is quite cute and at first glance when I popped open the little pink box and found a bunch of mini-CDs running around I was very excited, but then I looked around and couldn't find very many words. I was hoping for some information about the selection of the songs, why some versions were chosen over others, etc. All I got was a paragraph by Bj?rk in somewhat mysterious language explaining how Roots, Beats, Strings, and Words make up every human. She does give a tiny little description of each of the collections, but it's so general... I'd just like a little more.

To make it simple: If you are a huge fan of hers, and you probably are if you're even reading this, it's worth finding a copy of this. Sixty bucks? I'm not so sure, but you can certainly find it somewhere for a reasonable amount. It is certainly worth it for the music.

Family Tree Poster

Family Tree explores Bj?rk's artistic progression in part by sifting through older material and experiments with musical tangents. Just a month removed from the release of her Greatest Hits collection, which was compiled entirely from fans' votes, this multi-disc set highlights the artist's selections. In addition, the box contains five 3-inch discs of rare and previously unreleased material. Two of them focus on her fascination with classical arrangements and include songs she performed live with the Brodsky Quartet in 2000. Two more are given over to her earliest work, including a few Sugarcubes tracks, as well as "S?dasta Eg," a song Bj?rk composed on her flute when she was 15. The last of the five minidiscs, Beats, contains her first post-Sugarcubes club-oriented experiments with 808 State's Graham Massey and Mark Bell that eventually yielded her startling Debut. While it feels scatterbrained at times, Family Tree successfully strips down Bj?rk's creative output into a fascinating history lesson, providing a glimpse at the forces behind Bj?rk's ornate, iconoclastic style. --Matthew Cooke
A special box set featuring six CDs - five 3'' & one 5'' - of her own personal favorite songs, which in her words represent 'the story of how I got to where I am today & in my musical words to say how I developed as a musician.' The box will include tracks, some previously unreleased, taken from Bjork's whole career, not just her solo career. The discs include one CD on which Bjork compiles her own 'greatest hits', & a series of 3'' mini -CDs divided into 'Roots', 'Beats' & 'Strings' collections. Family Tree is packaged in a custom made transparent rose colored plastic case, Ingeniously configured to house the six disc set. Includes a 16 page lyric book, a map guiding fans through the collection & individual packaging for each branch of the tree. Elektra. 2002.
