Dave G I am a newer fan of Bjork. I remember her on MTV back in the 90's and thought she was just weird. Then something happened as I got older and I finally "got" her and have really come to appreciate what an amazing talent she is. Biophilia is not my favorite Bjork album but it's her most interesting I think. The concert shows off some of the unusual musical devices she had a hand in creating. The coolest being the gravity harps. When she sings Solstice with nothing but the gravity harps swinging back and forth playing music it is totally mesmerizing. Although not playing during Mutual Core they are swinging to get warmed up I guess. Just watching them swinging while Bjork sings is captivating. They were on display a few years back at the NYC Museum of Modern Art. Wish I could have seen them. Also, the Sharpsicord on Sacrifice is unusual but fits the song so well. It's a crazy looking thing, I can't even describe it. The Gamelest on the song Crystalline is amazing also. The tesla coil used in Thunderbolt and Declare Independence is more visual than actually fitting the songs but still neat to watch. Was probably really cool if you were there in the audience. Mutual Core is a standout as well as some of her older songs like Isobel (my favorite Bjork song). She also did older songs Possibly Maybe and Hidden place which sounded great with the Icelandic choir. Overall, great concert film if you are a Bjork Fan. Would have loved to have seen this tour live! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Audience Member A visually breathtaking, sci fi musical travel. Definitely just for Bjork's most devoted fans. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It is true the complexity of the songs, specially since there is barely any hit song in here, it might not be that accessible to catch up with the music for some, but the cinematography is often beautifully presented; from outer space, through DNA samples, to the smallest particles of a virus, the songs make a lot of sense combined together with the graphics. It is also undeniable the outstanding performance of everyone on stage, specially Delago's virtuous percussion, and Björk's control over her gifted voice. An octopus dancing around Björk on stage, while a Tesla Coil groans is just to say something. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
