:Bjork - Declare Independence: This one is intense. Bjork's vocals sound like something that were taken out of an unreleased industrial-heavy b-side from Nine Inch Nails. When she starts emphatically yelling "Raise your flag//Higher higher/Raise your flag" and "Declare independence/Don't let them do that to you," I feel the need to grab a burning torch and spend at least a week camped outside the Whitehouse in pure revolt mode. Too bad the song was actually written in support Greenland's secession from Denmark, and not the US from Dubya.
:Bjork - Innocence:
Outside of Earth Intruders this is the only other song that I know
for sure was produced by Timbaland, who has now surprisingly been mentioned
two days in a row here at SOTO. I really like how the sound here
features his trademark crisp production, but instead of making what he does
the focus of the song his work is laid beneath various effects and an almost
overpowering Bjork. I like Earth Intruders a lot but I think
that Innocence is a much more creative and effective use of the
Timbajork combo.
