OK, who got what?
Managed to eventually get hold of a copy of Family Tree (I knew I should have bought it while I was mooching around waiting for the meet at the Blue Cafe the other week), haven't managed to listen to it all yet, there's the Greatest Hits disk which I'm assured is different to the usual disk, then a collection of the mini-CDs, each with 20 minutes or so of stuff, two disks of 'roots' which seems to be stuff post-Sugarcubes but pre-Debut, a disk of similar electronic 'experiments' done with some of 808 State, then a couple of disks of reinterpretations done with the Brodsky Quartet on strings...
In terms of the Greatest Hits element, I guess I'm a little disappointed about the bias towards the balladsy stuff, make no mistake, I like things like 'Hidden Place' or 'Pagan Poetry' but I prefer the more adventurous experimental stuff from the earlier albums, I do have a dirty craving for 'Army of Me'...
It seems a bit like the Manic's Greatest Hits album, biasing towards the more recent stuff that is more in tune with where they/she are now, and prefering to try and forget the older stuff that was part of a different procedure. The Greatest Hits in Family Tree are the ones that Bjork herself has chosen, but it's all balladsy, and a bit one track... |
