At its time (1988) the only competition for Sinead O'Conner: great talents both!

One of my favorite singers... loved her immediately when this album came out. Here's a great documentary about Bjork from the 90s. It appeared on Bravo here in the US: http://youtu.be/r_JDhPjUl6U |

Nothin like Bjork or Sugarcubes to make a rainy day to shine.

You bet. I thought she'd sneaked a new album past me. Very surprised to see that this is from the 80's.... |

Did Björk study Mongolian throat singing?

It's consensus - Björk gives us all a bjöner! |

First concert I ever went to, Sugarcubes and Public Enemy opened for U2. That was 1993 I think. What a show!
WOW!  |

Same here - I remember the form-fitting red dress and the Flavor Flav style clock she had hung around her neck. She did things with her voice I've never ever anyone pull off before, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Riveting.
I too saw them for the first time then, and I'm agreed. Most of my friends (both male/female) from that time period spent plenty of time wondering what it might be like to make love with Bjork. . . I must confess that I gave it a thought or two myself. . .  |

At first I thought this might be Bat For Lashes. I didn't know it was our little Icelandic pixie until more phlegm was hacked up vocals ensued.

I have the same nostalgic feeling.I went to see them in the late 80's during their first gigs in Paris. They were a bit crazy but the atmosphere was great. Björk had already an incredible presence on stage. I really love this first album.
ginger wrote:Cool. Takes me back to when I first saw/heard of the Sugarcubes. I caught them on Saturday Night Live years ago, and was mezmerized by Bjork. Bought this album right away, and still love to pull it out now and then.
