Björk -- "Moon"

To be truthfully honest, I have always had more admiration and respect for Björk, then I actually had enjoyment listening to the music of Björk. She is an absolutely brilliant and creative mind, but her music is often too "out there," especially on her more recent albums. Records like Volta were masterfully conceived, but are often uninviting to the average listener. However, the last few tracks I have heard that are to be on her forthcoming album, Biophilia, which will be the first album to be made in collaboration with apple, have really blown me away. First, "Crystalline" just totally slays me with its almost dubstep-esque/ DJ Shadow's Entroducing sounding climax. Then I heard "Moon," which I also loved for a very different reason. It's a song that will throw many people off because of its compound time signature, but will intrigue many others with its beautiful simplicity. It's a simply stunning piece of music. This song and "Crystalline" are clear signs that Biophilia will be a record that I see being up there with the best of em' from this year, but only time will tell. Be sure to check out Biophilia on October 10th.
