Volta, and issues with Umlauts.

[Dan Dare]

Anyone else pick up the new Bjork album yet? I think it's utterly fantastic. super megalific, like.

also, how do I do umlauts on a keyboard?

[Shorty]

No, because I'm not a big Björk fan - but if you recommended some choice tracks, I'll check them out :)

And... on win xp with English keyboard...

alt+0228 = ä
alt+0235 = ë
alt+0239 = ï
alt+0246 = ö
alt+0252 = ü

These and more (caps) in the Character Map.

[Solo]

I suggest Earth Intruders and Wanderlust for starters, then move on from there. I'm trying to adjust to it at the moment, it's good but there are definitely a few not so great tracks. I think it'll be a grower.

How exactly do you type that in? Press Alt and the numbers 0, 2, 2, 8??

Never really listened to this kind of music, but my flatmate is a fan. He might have it.

[KKOB]

Had it for a week and a bit now and i FUCKING LOVES IT!

Earth Intruders is such a great song to start it and the songs with Anthony Hegerty are amazing. Such respect for the queen of iceland! lol

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR (bar arcade fire-neon bible ofcourse!)

Works on Vista as well. Just thought I'd mention that. :bouncy: but anyways never heard of Björk... so... what kind of music is it?

Thicko sense...tingling...!

[Blackfox]

I have to say, all the Bjork I've listened to makes me want to pull a pencil up my nose, and dive onto it.

[BGS]

My god.
I felt like getting a cd today.
I saw this and remembered there being a thread here about it with some great reviews. Not heard much Bjork but I thought "meh, i'll give it a go"

The first track is now over and i'm listening to some awful boat horn noises.

I really hope this is a grower...

[ReZourceman]

My opinion of Bjork?

Read from reply number 1676 onwards. (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186873&page=112)

[Hellfire]

Good to know I'm not alone in my hate of Bjork. eheh

[Dan Dare]

you're all god damn unwashed heathens.

Shush you!

I guess they can't get their noggins around her untainted brilliance!

[antster1983]

Can't do the Spinal Tap umlaut though :(

[Eenuh]

I have a special key for umlauts. Teehee.

äëüïö¨¨¨¨ =D


I've liked some of Björk's songs before. Not a big fan or anything, but I might have to check some of these songs out. =3

[BGS]

it IS a grower! I'm loving the album now after being initially unimpressed. Quite nice to have on while doing other things.

[weeyellowbloke]

Oh Dan I feel your pain, this Bjork hatred is distressing. Not had a chance to give the new stuff a listen, perhaps when I regain access to money I'll get it. In the mean time I hope all goes well and both she and I will be at Glastonbury in a few weeks time.

[Dan Dare]

Respect, yo.

[Hellfire]

I don't like her music, but what I really don't like is HER.
She tries to compensate for being, well, a midget, by having an onoxious attitude to lure out the media and appear to be a rebel and whatnot. Ugh

[Giant Jim Jones Robot]

The two tracks I like the most are the ones featuring Antony.

[Fields]

I just sampled this on iTunes. It was physically and mentally painful. :shakehead

[killthenet]

Hellfire, be quiet. Bjork is brilliant.

As for the new album, the Timbaland produced tracks are best, "Dull Flame..." is also good, due to having the drummer from Lightning Bolt providing percussion.

[KKOB]

Wanderlust is god damn amazing :D

[Dan Dare]

It really, really is. Best track I reckon, although it's all great

[KKOB]

innocence is damn good as are the anthony tracks and earth intruders and declare independance. really love it :)

[Dan Dare]

at least someone on this taste vacuum of a forum agrees with me anyway ;)

woop! go us :D : peace:

in other news Rufus Wainwrights new album is great too, i believe it is out tomorrow :P

[Dan Dare]

I've not heard too much of his stuff. Beautiful Child is, however, fantastiche.

mm. dull flame of desire. Where is this awesome guest vocalist from? his voice is so beautiful.

Anthony Hegarty from Anthony and the Johnsons, they have 2 albums out, Blue Angel and the Mercury Award winning I Am Bird Now, which features Rufus and Boy George as well!

Also weird you saying that then, it's just came on my iTunes :D

[Moohawk!]

Anthony Hegarty from Anthony and the Johnsons

Ahh I KNEW I recognised that voice.

The entire album is pretty damn good in my opinion. From originally hating it, I now absolutely love it.

Your my favorite person with 'New Member' status i thinks, also you in Manchester! woop woop!

So glad you've converted, more people need to hear Bjorks music because most people think she's just a fruit loop, when actually she's a very talented unique fruit loop.

[Moohawk!]

Why thank you sir! You're pretty spangdoodly yourself. And yes, yes I am, Manchester is official CITY OF AWESOME.

I'm from Birmingham, the second city. But i can still see how fucking great Manchester is :D i have 2 more years here then i might move up here after uni.

[Oxigen_Waste]

I'm still in awe at the album. That woman never ceases to amaze me. A genius.

[Eenuh]

I <3 Wanderlust.

Have to check out the rest too I think.

[Dan Dare]

It's all great. Check it out :)

[Eenuh]

If they're as good as Wanderlust, I might actually go and buy the album. =O
That song is way too good. Seriously can't stop listening to it.

[Dan Dare]

I'd say it's the strongest track, but there's some really fantastic material. oh yes :)

[KKOB]

The singles are damn good too, Innocence is a real grower, Declare Independance is a bit of all right too. Earth Intruders is a great song, really loving this album as a whole.
