I am not a big Bjork fan, but i did enjoy this title the best of the 3 i have by her. I liked the syhesizerish sound more than the more modern sound of Homogenic. The surround mix was great. A 9 for me.
I can't recall the song, but there is one on Debut where it sounds like she leaves the studio and all you hear is her voice, dry as a bone, with the music in the background. How did they do that part in surround? Is it effective?
SexyToad said:In the song, like most of the (_surrounded) set, Bjork's voice in monoarual. During the part where she slips into a bathroom stall (the song wasn't recorded in a studio), all the audio goes dead except for the center channel.
For the record, this may have been fixed in a later pressing - my copy has half-rate DTS on the videos (as well as DD and PCM stereo).Final BAD point is what can best be described as an omission - there is no DTS stream in the video tracks.
All you have is LPCM stereo and Dobly Dirgital.
It's definitely effective. In the song, like most of the (_surrounded) set, Bjork's voice in monoarual. During the part where she slips into a bathroom stall (the song wasn't recorded in a studio), all the audio goes dead except for the center channel. It's a jarring moment in a fun beat-driven song. The song is called "There's More To Life Than This" and it was recorded in The Milkbar toilets where apparently many musicians preform their music.
What does woo-woo mean?Björk has a new podcast where she talks writer Oddný Eir and musicologist Ásmundur Jónsson about her albums. She gets a little woo-woo in places, as she's wont to do. But it's pretty fascinating. Here's the Debut episode:
