Bjork's sixth studio album, Medulla, is a remarkable work composed almost entirely of human voices. Although many elements are sampled and processed, the essence of each track begins with the voice. Bjork collaborated with Icelandic and British choirs, Inuit singers, renowned artists like Mike Patton and Robert Wyatt, programmers such as Matmos, Mark Bell, and Mark 'Spike' Stent, and beatboxers including Rahzel and Japan's Dokaka. The outcome is one of her most challenging yet accessible albums to date. The songs take a different direction from what fans of Homogenic and Post might expect, but they have captivated a new audience of world, contemporary classical, and avant - garde music lovers. Don't miss tracks like 'Who Is It,' 'Oceania,' and 'Triumph Of A Heart.' This album comes as a black double vinyl pressing, housed in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves. It was originally released in 2004 and re - issued by One Little Independent in 2020. Reviewed by huldufolk in 06/2015.
Using this vinyl album is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. After each use, put the record back in its inner sleeve and then in the gatefold jacket to protect it. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
