Super-noodly!

...I missed this album first time around, having been basically distracted by other musical offerings at the time, which drew my attention away from bjork, and onto other things...

... And having found Medulla in a charity shop last year, and found it largely unlistenable, I wasn't really inspired to seek this out.

... But having had a lucky double tap a couple of weeks ago at a boot fair, of finding both this, and a 180g reissue of debut (a fave) for a fiver each (more than I would usually go for at a boot), I came home pretty pleased with my day's work, and was even more pleased to find that this is a really good album!

A double disc 180g in a lovely glossy gatefold, it is a very consistent, thoroughly immersive, lo-fi beats, programming, and electro-noodle affair with multi-layered bjork vocalisations which create a choral effect overlay, with a final layer of the familiar bjork-ish weirdness in the lead vocals.

... It sounds like a musical version of James Cameron's "The Abyss" saturated with a heavy Boards Of Canada style vibe... Very floaty, and absorbing, and likely to put you in a trance like state... Or electro-coma! :)

It conjures images in the mind of some undefined nostalgia that you can't quite put your finger on, and which you'd swear you'd never actually experienced, and touches something profound you could not even describe adequately, but all in a very memorably melodic way.

My copy was scratched on all four sides, so it was a double happy experience to find no blemishes at all in the playing, in what is a brilliantly pressed vinyl, full of the rich acoustic weight that comes with the vinyl sound, coupled with the clarity and precision of a CD.

One little note... The back cover gives the last track title as UnisonA ("a" on the end) but everywhere else gives it only as "unison"... Although you'd need a magnifying glass to see it!

... And all this, for a fiver!!!
