Björk "Possibly maybe" (part 3)


This single starts with a remix of "Big time sensuality" by Plaid. It sounds like a bit of a further development of Fluke's "Big time sensuality"-remix from 1994. The biggest difference is the jungle-beat in the background and Björk's vocalizations (they've been re-sung and Björk has used a quite childish tune of voice). The result is even more graceful than Fluke's remix and I'd say this its one of my all-time-favorite-Björk-remixes....at least my favorite "Debut"-remix so far. No-one who's heard this remix can say there's no soul in computer-music....


The second track is called "Visur vatnsenda-rosu" and it sounds completely different from the first track. It's a cover of an Icelandic folk-song with a moody, quite church-like atmosphere. Björk is singing along to a piano and suddenly a clarinet breaks in. The result is quite hymn-like and extremely graceful. A must-hear!


Then it goes on with a pretty cool live-version of "Possibly maybe" with some interesting samples and an accordion (!). Some change of lyrics can also be found. The Front 242/ Einstürzende Neubatzen-like "Hyperballad (Over the edge live)" is the single's least interesting track since it's not very different from "Hyperballad (Over the edge mix)" from the "It's oh so quiet"-single or "Enjoy (Further over the edge mix)" from the "Telegram"-disc. Anyway, I'd say "Big time sensuality (Plaid remix)" and "Visur Vatnsenda-rosu" makes this a must-have-single. Björk still makes me rise my eye-brows.
