Free Music Notes for Selmasongs: Dancer In The Dark (2000 Film)
Free Music Review: A great album that keeps with what makes Björk herself.
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this movie, and I was really impressed by the music. If you love Björk's sound, this will be what you know of her and a few new aspects. The way she used simple sounds to create the beats of "Cvalda" and "I've Seen It All" is amazing! "Cvalda"'s beat starts off with the sounds of noisy machinery in a factory and spirals into a beautiful song. "I've Seen It All" rests on the sounds of a train passing by. The beat you hear is the pattern of the wheels on the tracks, fixed up a little bit of course.
This album is an astonishing thing to listen to, even though there aren't many songs. It also lets you relive the movie, even the heartbreaking scene where Björk's character Selma dies. Buy it!
Free Music Review: Her Best Work To 5 Stars
It is an understatement to say that I love Bjork's music, from the earliest pieces to her latest, she is truely a genius, who in America is still underrated and underappreciated. It usually takes a couple of times to adjust to the style of her newest releases ( her sound is always evolving) , but this cd had me sitting absolutely still to hear every sound and beat, I was completely enchanted. I really believe that you will not be able to take this out of your player for at least a week!There are some fun and fabulous backing vocals from : Catherine Deneuve , Thom Yorke , and Siobhan Fallon. The sound quality and orchestrations are fantastic. Hopefully I've summed this up for you-it is fabulous!!
Free Music Review: everyone should hear bjork
Hit: 5 Stars
i only write reviews for exceptional works and this is one. "dancer in the dark" is one of the best movies i have seen , ever, and the accompanying music is so powerful. emotional and honest, it adds volumes to the movie itself and stands alone as yet another amazing body of work by bjork. i only discovered her music in the last 6 months or so and i am hooked. i have bought every major album and can listen to them constantly. bjork's voice is so filled with emotion and her sound mixing is so unique and fitting that one cannot help but be swept away. her music is such that one can sit and simply listen to it and be completely occupied, moved and involved. i never get bored with bjork.Free Music Review: Don't forget to watch the movie
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't think you need to see the movie to appreciate the music on this album. I do think that you would be crazy NOT to see the movie though. While I was watching the movie, all I could think was _ I need this album. Okay, the movie is far more interesting and I thought many other things than, I need to buy this album.
However, I am a music lover, and these songs simply tickle my ears and mind. This album is a wonderful blend of orchestral instruments and electronica. It will make you appreciate everyday sounds and want to find the natural rhythm that is present in every day life. I'm a bit too emotionally biased to give a good review...all I can think is...I love it.
Free Music Review: Transcendent
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful CD. The songs have either a trance-like quality, like Bjork's earlier "Isobel" or "Hyperballad," or a show-tune quality like "It's oh so quiet." These are my favorite two Bjork song styles. I don't pretend to be a music critic who can use words like "postmodern" and know what he's talking about, all I know is this: Few pieces of art have the ability to transport me away from my daily life and make me forget my troubles. This CD is one of them. The music is both calming and uplifting. There is beautiful imagery in the lyrics and beautiful melodies in the music. I wish the CD could be twice as long!
