CD Reviews

Sheer genius
thunder_girl99 | Hoboken, NJ United States | 07/21/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A friend once asked me why I bought this album. My response was "why WOULDN'T I want an album that included a jazz recording of 'O Mein Papa' in Icelandic?""
Amazing

"I actually got this CD to use as background music for my Traveller campaign set in the Sword Worlds. It gives a nice twist to the familiar, yet has an alien quality to it. Many of her CDs have an alien sound to them that lend well to gaming background music."
Not essential, but not bad

"this is a nice little cd. basically, it's a young Bjork backed by a jazz combo. it gets into some painfully average "sitting in a lounge, sipping on cocktails" kind of dinner jazz; but if you're a fan of Bjork....this could be a nice listen. not bad."
