Collection of b-side remixes from BjorksPostsingles.IfTelegramlooks and feels like an originalBjorkalbum, its because she herself considers it to be just as authentic and personal as any of her other records: “It’s like the core ofPost. That’s why it’s funny to call it a remix album, it’s like the opposite.Telegramis more stark, naked. Not trying to make it pretty or peaceable for the ear. Just a record I would buy myself. Like a letter to myself. Sort of… fuck what people think. It’s a truth thing.” Includes woozy and loungey mixes of “Possibly Maybe”, “I Miss You” and “Army Of Me” byLFO(R.I.P.Mark Bell),Dobieand808 StatesGraham Massey, respectively.Dillinjacomes through with the dark & deepMetalheadz-style ruffage on his version of “Cover Me” (Bjorkwas datingGoldiearound this time and was a regular at London drum & bass institutions Metalheadz and Speed).Outcast(not to be confused withOutkast) flip the already super-heavy “Enjoy” into a proto-breakcore 5-alarm fire that reminds us a little bit ofAndy Stotts overdrive-lovingFaith In StrangersLP. While some of the mixes subvertBjorks vocals into a chaotic barrage of beats & bass, mixes of “Hyperballad” and “Youve Been Flirting Again” are devoid of beats entirely and instead rely on new orchestral arrangements to bolsterBjorks powerful vocal performances. Also includes the exclusive original track “My Spine”. Original pressings condensed the tracks onto a single LP, whilethe 2008 reissue spread the tracks onto two LPs but is impossible to find at a reasonable price,180 gramdouble vinyl version is a true blessing for allBjorkfreaks worldwide. Housed in ahighly-framablesleeve featuring an alluring portrait by Japanese photographerNobuyoshi Araki with printed inner sleeves. Recommended.
