Another brilliant choice for AOTD

I love the production on this, and it is easily my favourite Björk album. IMO it has stood the test of time better than her first two solo albums, and the video for All Is Full Of Love is simply one of the best ever made.

So is Joga, Hunter, Unravel....

A great album.

A masterpiece. I heard her debut and thought that was incredible and then was stunned to find out that this one was even better.

Bachelorette, Joga, All is Full of Love, Alarm Call (the album version, not the stupidly sped up video version), Hunter, ... These songs will usually be the ones people will choose as "the best of the album". And while all those songs are indeed great, there are two more songs in the middle that usually don't get as much recognition as they should have.

This song in particular is very underrated in my opinion.

Awesome beat

Now listen to this live version. It is quite different, but the song strangely gets even better as a result:

And 5 years - the climax to this song is just exceptional:

So anyway, these two + Alarm Call are IMO the best on the album.. And there is one more moment of pure magic on the album with the transition between the last two tracks, when the big electronic beat of Pluto is replaced with the calm, soft strings of All is full of love.
