$34.95
<p><i>Best album of the 90s? Possibly maybe! </i>For her second album, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=bjork&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Bjork%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22The%20Sugarcubes%22" target="_blank"><strong>Bjork</strong></a> and her cast of collaborators escaped to the Bahamas to record at Compass Point Studios, home of legendary sessions by <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=grace%20jones&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Grace%20Jones%22" target="_blank"><strong>Grace Jones</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=bob+marley" target="_blank"><strong>Bob Marley</strong></a> and more (bizarre rumors from these sessions depict Bjork recording vocals inside of a cave, on the beach with an extended microphone cord, or completely nude in the studio). Having satisfied her house ambitions on <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=debut&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Bjork%22" target="_blank"><em>Debut</em></a>, Bjork expands her palette to include industrial, IDM, modern classical and blunted trip-hop textures, recruiting <strong><a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=tricky&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Massive%20Attack%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Massive%20Attack%20V%20Mad%20Professor%22" target="_blank">Tricky</a></strong>, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=deodato" target="_blank"><strong>Deodato</strong></a>, <strong>Guy Sigsworth</strong> and <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=graham+massey" target="_blank"><strong>Graham Massey</strong></a> (of <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=808%20state&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Spawn%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22808%20State%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Bjork%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Ztt%20Records%22" target="_blank"><strong>808 State</strong></a>). <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=nellee+hooper" target="_blank"><strong>Nellee Hooper</strong></a> returns to lend a hand to six tracks, most notably the disarming tearjerker “Hyperballad”. Bjork’s sessions with Massey (“Army Of Me”, “The Modern Things”) predate <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=debut&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Bjork%22" target="_blank"><em>Debut</em></a> but were temporarily put on hold until the release of <em>Post</em>. The album contains some of Bjork’s most unforgettable performances, from Broadway-worthy “It’s Oh So Quiet” to the slow crackle of “Possibly Maybe”, which <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=dj%20shadow&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Cut%20Chemist%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Cut%20Chemist%20%26%20Dj%20Shadow%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Dj%20Shadow%22%20OR%20Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Flying%20Lotus%22" target="_blank"><strong>DJ Shadow</strong></a> sampled only a year later on <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?&q=endtroducing&filter=Brand/Manufacturer/Artist_fq:%22Dj%20Shadow%22" target="_blank"><em>Endtroducing</em></a>. <em>Post</em> confirmed Bjork<strong></strong> as the singular artist and world class singer we know her as today, flexing a cool allure over metallic downtempo beats or delivering an Earth-shaking showtunes performance on the same album in a way that only she could make work.
