It's either Björk or it's "are you waisian?"

(I struggled so much with the latter one…deep apologies for the wait…)

ANYWAYS! Big announcements! Here’s the whole context of what was found!

1.Venus As A Boy (Edited Riley Mix): This is from a super rare CD promotional of Venus As A Boy, which has only been reported 5 physical copies of it!! An remix was exclusive from this CD and it was pretty hard to find! Thing is, the song was stored on a website called "SkySound". Even though we cannot hear the actual CD, the song matches the length and is actually a shorter version of Mykaell's remix. So this is the definitive one!

2. Alarm Call (Malaysian Cassette Censored Version): When Homogenic was released, this cassette censored some lyrics in the song “Alarm Call”. Printed lyrics miss: “fucking Buddhist. But this is enlightenment”. And the word “fuck” was cut from the song! Now with this one, I actually did get a physical copy of this material! (I recorded it through Audacity so please let me now if there are any pitch mistakes or if you can make it sound better…I’m new to this so I don’t know if it’s all correct, apologies! If that’s the case, I will update the links!!)

This wouldn’t have been possible without u/lllttt980 ! Who posted about Björk’s lost works and therefore, I wouldn’t have known about this pieces!!
Cheers to everyone in this community!! <3

EDIT: I updated the Homogenic Discogs page and the censored lyrics, it won’t let me submit it though, so it’s in a comment!
EDIT 2: By the way, if you are checking the original website where the edit was stored, PLEASE use as a VPN to listen or download because I struggled a lot with pop-ups and just in case lol!

Hello! Recently I saw a post talking about lost media of Björk. One point talked about an alleged censored version of Alarm Call from a Malaysian cassette which was sort of rare. I managed to find a physical copy and I can confirm it is indeed censored lol!
I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to upload online! Since it has a legend talking about how “reproduction is prohibited” and sorts. I don’t know a lot about copyright so I’m not sure if its digitalization and distribution on the internet is allowed. I would like some help about this since it’s a funny rarity to me.
The words “fucking Buddhist” are cut from the song and the printed lyrics miss these words and the following verse.

Edit: No VHS but cassette sorry!!

Good evening, everyone!

Take a look at my work of this year inspired by Bjork. I first learned about Bjork in November last year and it caused very positive impact on me (gained Vespertine LP as a gift, by the way). So, after thinking and judging with my teacher, I have came to the decision of making this composition.

Her music is something futuristic, organic, hard and melodic mixed in one, so you can see a flower, bionic patterns ans some other textures on my work. As for the Bjork herself, I was inspired by her Utopia costumes and masks.

Enjoy

For me, it probably has to be An Echo a Stain.

+ I’m going through it, and hopefully I’ll get some recs that I’ve missed as of “negative” songs

Man.....She couldn't catch a BREAK on SNL could she?

​I think the Gling-Gló album and her versions of "It's Oh So Quiet" and "My Funny Valentine" are great.

Edit: and I just watched this great video with almost 300k views – “Jazz pianist tries to understand Björk”:

i think this one is gonna be intense lol

the comment with the most upvotes is eliminated first 🔪

Wanted to reference the family music video (moss, pearls, string) and the Vulnicura color palette. Not the best DIYer but it turned out okay!
