As a pauper in Canberra, it took me many years to get sufficient CDs together to warrent the title "a CD collection". With this in mind, it is quite telling that the first artist that I had two CDs from was Bjork.
Bjork has been a popular source of material for new arrangements and compositions for Polyphony too. "A New World", "Oceania" and "Unravel" have all provided fundamental origins for Polyphony performances.
What I am trying to say, is that I have some familiarity with Bjork, and am mightily impressed with her music. When I came across a review in the SMH, I was convinced the author, Jon Pareles, had the same perspective:
I haven't yet purchased Volta, so I can't verify my assumptions. But, fuck I am looking forward to hearing some more fresh music.

ps., Can anyone tell me what the two dots above the Icelandic "o" are called? Is it possible to use them in Blogger?

The two dots above the o 'รถ' are called diaeresis marks. You can use it in blogger but it's a fucking pain in the arse to do on a Windows laptop. With a normal keyboard you hold down the alt key and press 0246 on the numeric keypad. That's a zero too, not an oh. On the laptop you need to hold down alt and the 'fn' key (to enable the numeric keypad i.e. the numbers in blue) and then on my laptop press mkuo. So the combination is hold down alt and fn and press mkuo and release everything. As I said, a real pain in the arse.
Alternatively, you can just copy and paste it from somewhere else. Like this comment for example.
