The production, the bass and beat kinda distorted - too lowered - muffled, thought it was my hi-fi first.

I dug out a mix last week that I did a couple of years ago which had a Bjork acapella over a Savath & Savalas (Scott Herren) track.
In a similar vein, I think Daedelus might be a sympathetic collaborator too.

I thought it was a manipulative clap trap of art house exploitation with absolutely nothing to say. I found it about as entertaining or enlightening as watching someone strangling kittens. When she saw the finished film Bjork apparently was shocked how her character was reduced to a passive victim and how in the end was dragged out beyond endurance. She stated that she found the experience such an unhappy one that she vowed never to act again. By all accounts Lars Von Trier is a real asshole to work with and as misogynistic as his films would suggest, as none of his lead actresses has ever returned to work with him again and none of them have anything good to say about him.

I don't have time to get into this really but,
his name was Einar, and at the time record execs couldn't wait to get him out of the way to make more money out of t' cubes.
They, like those who think he ruined it completely miss the point and genius of the band.
Sorry but you just do. end of.
It ain't a big deal. One good album and a bunch of great live shows.
Some people didn't get it. No matter.
Einar personifies the spirit of the Sugarcubes. Consider this and listen to
Life's Tooo good again if you fancy.
Or not.
has anyone heard bjork's pre-sugarcubes albums? i was shocked to discover she's been releasing music since the early 80s... the jazz album i've heard in parts, and sounds good, but i'd love to hear tappi tikarrass ('cork the bitch's ass' in icelandic, apparently), and K.U.K.L - both punkish bands she used to be in. K.U.K.L released stuff on crass records, it seems.
we need to hear this stuff!

Pretty much the same for me (though I didn't see her live) - I lost interest after homogenic. My favourites are Possibly Maybe, Hyperballad, Enjoy (the beats mix of Enjoy is amazing), Joga (Alec Empire mix damn good), Big time sensuality (Plaid mix) and Birthday.
I have the two KUKL albums - they're not that great in my opinion, but then I hate Crass.

Calm down love.
I still think it's a great album and I never wanted I(whatever his name is)gor out of the band, I just think there is a little too much of him there. I agree about the spirt of the sugar cubes as well and thinking about it my biggest complaint is really only 'sick for toys' which wouldn't be a good song anyway if left to bjorks parts.

i once got a writing block at an english exam (aged 15 or summat), but had memorised the lyrics of that song ("Sick For Toys" by the Sugarcubes) so well that i just wrote it down, handed in the "essay" and walked out...ATOMIC SUPLEX said:

Heh heh, Childhood memories.
I bought the album on my first trip on a train by myself. I went all the way from Westbury to Trobridge (one stop) and thought I was so big and grown up. At least I had good music taste, when did lifes too good come out? I must have been pretty cool for my age as I also bought Psychocandy when that came out in 1985, I was only 12 and my Mum wanted to burn it so I had to keep it hidden.
all.
i even like the early jazz one Gling-Glo and her first album as a child.
but Medúlla is my favourite at the moment.
love the human voices, creating sounds without instruments.
favourite track/video goes to ALL IS FULL OF LOVE.
been meaning to 'see' drawing restraints 9.
anyone knows anything about it? is it going to be shown in the UK? in a museum, maybe?

Oddly enough I am listening to Debut right now. Still my favourite, probably because it holds so many happy memories - will never forget listening to One Day on acid in my poky little student room as the sun came up. She kind of fell off my musical radar after Post, though. This thread is making me think I should pick up Homogenic.
Sunspots said:That's one of my favourites on there, along with the versions of You've Been Flirting Again and I Miss You.
In fact, thinking about it, I've never actually heard most of the 'original' versions of the tracks on Telegram.
oh yes, i like You've been flirting again and I miss you, too... Cover Me.
you should, listen to the original versions!!!!
i do like some of the remixes more than the originals though.
