Homogenic by Bjork

"This song sends shivers down my spine; it almost always makes me cry, especially when I listen to it on a plane. Those notes she hits at the end, it does something to me. ’All is Full of Love’ is brilliantly emotional and epic. There aren’t many songs that can make me react like that. I’m always forever blown away by it."

"This one scares people. I’m obviously attracted to covers that are a little art-damaged. It feels like something Grace Jones or Nina Hagen would’ve done. Maybe she was reacting to how glamorous she looked on her previous album, Post. I think it’s totally bold and sets a standard for everybody else. One of the best covers of the last decade."

"Bjork’s album Homogenic. That was the album for me that helped me realize, not only that I want to make music, but, as I make music, I can do really what ever I wanted. There didn’t have to be rules, you could just make something really amazing that nobody had ever heard before."

"I used to love the Sugarcubes, and then her debut album came out and I thought it was alright, I was going for different things and locked into Suede so wasn't really receptive to it. Then she gradually filtered through to me. Homogenic won out over Vespertine because of a few songs, like 'Jóga'. It's so beautiful, so atmospheric. There are few people that I actually listen to and am not a little disappointed by, or think I could do that. With her, it's, 'Woah.' She's one of those people who make music that I actually marvel at, I really do. She's incredibly talented. For me she's one of the few modern artists who are actually up there with the all-time greats. The music industry has to say that all these people are comparable to so and so, but she really is. Something like Biophilia suits her and suits her music. The music is intelligent for a start, but that really suits her sense of vision."
