Free Music Notes for Selmasongs: Dancer In The Dark (2000 Film)
Free Music Review: Brilliant!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is one of the most refreshing I have bought in years. Besides using sound and rhythm in her own highly individual way, I feel that in this album Bjork has integrated the sounds of modern-day life into constructive musical ideas more successfully than anyone I've heard to date. [Considering I've spent a tremendous amount of time playing for and attending contemporary music concerts, I mean that as a compliment, from one musician to another.] The tunes have a magical quality and though I have not seen the movie I can imagine great musical numbers could come from them. One thing I have noticed though is that, except for the movie theme, the CD sounds best on a boombox, as opposed to when I listened with better speakers. I think that's intentional, but not sure...another small annoyance is that with the other files included on the CD, I've been unable to play it while at work on my PC because once I put it in, it immediately hooked me up to the Internet!Free Music Review: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!!

Yes, yes it is... and I've never seen the movie... the music stands perfectly alone... I love techno, and classical music and here Bjork mixes the two perfectly (maybe a bit more classical in most of the songs however)... I've Seen it All, the duet with Bjork and Thom Yorke is particularly stirring, but the highlight for me is the song In The Musicals... however, there are no bad tracks here... from the Overture straight through to the final song, it's all very beautlful and brilliant... maybe one day if I see the movie in a story somewhere I'll rent it, but I find I don't need that to enjoy this music... as with any good soundtrack, it can stand on it's own as an album... Passion, Peter Gabriels soundtrack to the movie The Last Temptation of Christ is maybe my favorite album of all time, and I've never seen that movie either... this album Selmasongs is absolutely stunning... definately check this out... similar to Homogenic, but in my opinion is better...Free Music Review: Operatic and theatrical

It got bashed a little bit when it first came out that the film was poorly shot and Bjork would never be able to carry a lead role successfully.
They never figured that the film would be built around her amzing voice though.
If I am in mood, (often), and feeling like there's no inspiration left in the world, even if I can't sleep, this is the soundtrack I turn to.
Sounds made up for the lead charcter's lack of eyesight - and then some.
Admittedly I had this before I saw the film, a couple of things made more sense after watching the movie though.
Spontaneous singing and imaginative numbers are given life through Bjork's quirky and charismatic voice.
A story that can be followed through song, '100 steps', 'I've seen it all'...you haven't until you've heard this soundtrack.
Peaceful and exotic in turns it is a piece that stands alone.
Tastefully done and exceuted - not one bad track.

I am generally a fan of gangsta rap and techno so I suppose somebody like me typically wouldn't even touch something to the likes of Bjork. But, what can I say! This album (and all her music) is just amazing. i know a lot of people who hate her music just because it isn't what they're used to. Well of course it isn't what they're used to. There is only ONE Bjork, and she fits into her own genre all together. A genre all her own meaning she has fused the likes of techno, adult contemporary, alternative, and classical all into one genre that can only be described as Beautiful Music. For anybody who has actually listened to Bjork and had grown to like it eventually: Congrats! This is the path to follow to even appreciate this kind of music. You need a very open mind to comprehend the complexities of the melodies, how everything is fused together and how her vocals are rarely ever kept in time, but very beautifully....
