Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited Edition Japanese pressing comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. Universal. 2008. * Please note these are issued on Universal EU barcodes but are in fact pressed in Japan and include an OBI and booklet. Amazon.com: The Icelandic iconoclast is a past master of deconstructing her studio recordings, and here she plays an active role in helping a crew of remixers and guest artistes get medieval with tracks off 1995's Post. Trip-hop, jungle, and industrial flavors will draw the Tricky crowd, and Brodsky Quartet puts a string-driven spin on "Hyperballad," but it's the lush Deodata treatment of "Isobel" that'll make your head spin. --Jeff Bateman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The most essential Bjork releaseIceland's Bjork, who originally came to attention throughout the world as a member of the Sugarcubes, was not actually heard by me on radio until "It's Oh So Quiet" from her second solo album Post, when I was becoming fed up with commercial radio as awful bands like Silverchair and the Presidents of the USA emerged. At first, I found "It's Oh So Quiet" annoying and no less terrible than grunge, but as I grew to adore artists like Laura Nyro and Kate Bush I came to realise that Bjork was regarded ... Read More Rating:  - Björk in the MixA remix usually constitutes just what it implies: vocals with some new instrumentals, and maybe a reverb, delay, and cutup, or two. But Björk being Björk, her less-than-monumental yet doubtlessly ambitious 1996 remix album Telegram is cut from a different cloth than most remixes. In fact, it's another fabric entirely. Before any commentary, it should be duly noted that, if you disliked Post, stay far away from Telegram. There is certainly difference between the two, but if you found ... Read More Rating: - Bjork: TELEGRAM (1996)In 1996, Bjork released her third album entitled, TELEGRAM. This album is a remix album, featuring most of the songs that were featured on her second album, POST. But the songs from her 1995 album that are on TELEGRAM are remixed. Though not as good as her first two albums, this is an extremely creative remix album. POSSIBLE MAYBE (Lucy Mix) Original version from the album POST (1995). Great remix. HYPER-BALLAD (Brodsky Quartet Version) Original version ... Read More Rating: - Elegantly crafted remixes of Bjork's eccentric music. Very powerful sounds yet a very modest approach. A definate must own for any fan of her work. Variety of musical genres presented here from a classical approach with the brodsky quartet to dark thumping techno-like pieces as well as traditional tracks. Bjork is a musician into and of her own style. Rating:  - From ho-hum to irritatingLike some other disappointed reviewers, I'm a long time Bjork fan (since the Sugarcubes) but have a hard time listening to this album. The remixes vary in style from sparse ambient to frenetic dance. This in itself is irritating because it means the album has no flow or cohesion. But it's the remixes themselves that drive me nuts. Overworked and trying too hard to 'do something different' with perfectly good songs, they just end up mangling them for the most part. I think you'd have to be a fan ...
