From Amazon.com

Normally, an artist such as Bjork with a mass audience across the globe steadily eases off as the back-catalog starts to grow. However, Medulla, the fifth proper studio album from Bjork is without a doubt the most challenging collection of music she has ever released.

For the most part, the album is made up of layers upon layers of processed vocal parts arranged in either harmony or dissonance such as "Vokuro" and "Oll Birtan," respectively. Some, such as "Show Me Forgiveness" are simple acapella, the aforementioned sounding like a vocal cut from Debut minus the music. Another echo of Bjork days gone by is "Desired Constellation," a slow trancy pulse underpinning her distinct vocals. "Where Is the Line," "Who Is It," and "Triumph of a Heart" are a bit grimier with a semi-urban twist, the latter a fantastically funky beatbox number with an outstanding introduction, the closest moment to a pop song appearing on Medulla.

Although traditional instruments and breaks have been removed from this album, Medulla is no great departure for Bjork but in a sense it is radically different from any of her previous work. Some will love it, some hate it, and some just won't be sure what to think. --David Trueman

An Interview with Björk
Björk shared her thoughts about the directions she is taking with Medulla in our Amazon.com interview.



Album Description

Bjork is one of the most recognized stars in the world. She has sold millions of copies of her groundbreaking albums, she is an icon of cutting edge style, and she has received worldwide acclaim as an actress. Medulla, Bjork's first new studio album in three years, finds her delving deeper than ever before into her haunting and exhilarating sound and vision. Innovative as always, Bjork has this time built the songs on Medulla entirely from vocal tracks, with no instruments appearing on the album, creating a soundscape unlike anything you've ever heard before. Special guests include Rahzel from The Roots, Mike Patton of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, an Inuit throat singer, an Icelandic choir, the world's greatest human beatboxes and more.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Mouth music, Mars 30 2007
Par E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ever heard of mouth music? It's a traditional technique for producing music with nothing except rhythmic vocals -- literally, just music from the mouth. Quirky Icelandic Bjork isn't a Celt, but she takes the term "mouth music" to new heights in the enchantingly challenging "Medulla," an album whose music is based on the voice.

Bjork embarks on her strangest and most experimental musical journey here. Not just one kind of song, but many -- majestic medieval-flavored music to pop to hymns to an eerie vocal ballad backed by throat singing. Bjork even beatboxes with a choir behind her, giving a sort of classical hip-hop sound to the music. Can't get that just anywhere.

"Medulla" isn't entirely devoid of instrumentation... the non-vocal variety, that is. There's a pretty piano solo to "Ancestors," and the deep bassline of "Submarine." Keyboards pop up occasionally But those are the exception -- most of the time it's Bjork's soft vocals, singing, grunting, whistles, and various gutteral sounds -- sort of a dolphin-on-acid noise. It's wonderfully weird.

After the pretty but vaguely monotonous "Vespertine," Bjork just bursts out with her new sound. What's strangest is the effect it has when one is listening to it -- it's powerful and visceral, lulling you one moment and making you shiver the next. At times it's unnerving -- the grunts range from sexy to ghastly, and are enough to make you squirm -- but it never fails to provoke a response.

"Medulla" isn't a full departure from her past material. The opening number has echoes of "Vespertine," while "Where is the Line" hints at "Homogenic." But the heart and soul of "Medulla" rests in an entirely new zone, far away from the icy grandeur of her past trip-hop. This is a darker, thicker sound, backed by Robert Wyatt's odd vocals and a choir.

Bjork proves again that she is an artist in every sense of the word -- she doesn't just make wonderful music, but she explores into new and thrilling musical arenas. Revolutionary, sultry, and a jolt to the system.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Where is the Line?, Mars 11 2005
The first time I heard Medulla, I had some severe doubts about it. It's very...weird, if that word can best describe this work of art. I've noticed that people either love it or hate it - there's really no in between when it comes to Medulla. It's incredibly challenging, not a whimsical purchase by any means. I've listened to this CD so many times since I got it, and each time I fall in love with it more.

Some people have trouble with Medulla simply because there are no instruments used. Not usual, no - but what do you expect from Bjork?

Pleasure is All Mine - The erratic breathing at the beginning takes some gets getting used to, but I love this song. 5/5

Show Me Forgiveness - Short acapella, but pretty. Nice arpeggios in here. 5/5

Where is the Line - Sort of grungey, with a funky beat. This was the first song on the CD that really grabbed by attention and kept it. 5/5

Vokuro - Pretty slow song. 4.5/5

Oll Birtan - I didn't like this song at first, along with the other two vocal-mentals...haha...but after two listens I decided I really liked this. 4.5/5

Who Is It - Another one of those grab your attention songs. 5/5

Submarine - This song really irratates me. I can't stand it. The stupid blubbering and do-do-do get my eye twitching. Only good part of this song is Bjork's solo in the middle. 1/5

Desired Constellation - Slower song. I love Bjork's voice in this one. One of the two songs that has instrumentation (synths) 5/5

Oceania - Great song, though the choir's sliding scale get irritating after a while. 4.5/5

Sonnets/Unrealities XI - About letting a loved one go. 5/5

Ancestors - I really hated this song when I first heard it. Bjork on the piano hyperventilating, and Tagaq grunting. After a few listens I actually began to like it. 4/5

Mouth's Cradle - I absolutely love this song. 5/5

Midvikudago - The only vocal-mental that doesn't seem like a meaningless cacaphony when you first hear it. 5/5

Triumph of a Heart - The beatboxer at the beginning makes me laugh. 4.5/5

All in all, this is definately a worthly purchase. It doesn't make much sinse the first time you listen to it, or even the second, but give it the chance it deserves and it may well be the best musical purchase you make this year.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A return to form after 20 years!, Janv. 9 2005
It's a harsh listen, it's not angelic. It's not pop and it seems people are upset Bjork would "betray" her fans by abandoning dance music. I suppose it's too bad dance music may have lost one of the only 'thinking' artists it had, but anyone who's listened to (and enjoyed) Bjork's pre-sugarcubes work with the avant art-rock act K.U.K.L. wouldn't find this work shocking or angering at all. It's too bad 'Medulla' had to be marketed like a pop record (due to her success) rather than quietly released without the expectation of pop songs and catchy hooks.
