• Biophilia Vinyl Impressive Quality

  5 out of 5 stars

  I picked up this vinyl record after falling in love with Biophilia, and I'm thrilled that I did! The audio quality is absolutely stunning. The sound is incredibly rich and powerful, especially considering it's a 33 and 1/3 rpm record. There's barely any surface noise, just the occasional tiny pop here and there. The remixes are, for the most part, brilliantly done. My second disc had a bit of edge warp, but it doesn't effect the play.

• Björk's Powerful Remix Album

  3 out of 5 stars
  gripvej3 December 2025United States🇺🇸

  This album is incredibly powerful, with remixes that are both captivating and thought-provoking. Björk's remix albums are always a treat, and this one reminds me a lot of "Telegram" if you've given that a listen. The lineup of artists featured here is truly outstanding. Standout tracks include "Sacrifice" (Death Grips Remix), "Mutual Core" (These New Puritans Remix featuring Solomon Islands Song), and "Crystalline" (Omar Souleyman Version). While I thoroughly enjoyed the album, the pressing quality leaves something to be desired. The sound is merely average at its best and downright poor at its worst. Björk's voice sounds unnaturally tense, and some instruments seem muffled. All in all, it's a solid pick for Björk enthusiasts and collectors, but not the best choice for those new to her music or her vinyl releases.

  This album is incredibly powerful, with remixes that are both captivating and thought-provoking. Björk's remix albums consistently deliver, and this one is no exception - it reminds me a lot of "Telegram" if you're familiar with that. The lineup of artists involved here is particularly impressive. Standout tracks include "Sacrifice" (Death Grips Remix), "Mutual Core" (These New Puritans Remix featuring Solomon Islands Song), and "Crystalline" (Omar Souleyman Version). That said, the pressing quality leaves something to be desired. The audio quality ranges from merely okay to downright poor. Björk's voice sounds unnaturally tense, and some instruments seem muffled. All in all, it's a solid pick for Björk enthusiasts and collectors, but it might not be the best starting point for her music or her vinyl discography.

• Björk's Remix Album: Hits and Misses

  This album is truly exceptional, with the remixes being particularly captivating and intriguing. Björk's remix albums consistently deliver, and this one is no exception—think of it as akin to "Telegram" if you're familiar with that work. The lineup of artists featured here is outstanding. Standout tracks include "Sacrifice" (Death Grips Remix), "Mutual Core" (These New Puritans Remix featuring Solomon Islands Song), and "Crystalline" (Omar Souleyman Version). That said, the pressing quality leaves a lot to be desired. The audio quality ranges from merely adequate to downright poor. Björk's vocals often sound unnaturally strained, and some instruments seem muffled. In summary, it's a solid pick for Björk enthusiasts and collectors, but it's not the ideal introduction to her music or her vinyl discography.

  This album is incredibly powerful, with remixes that are both captivating and thought-provoking. Björk's remix albums consistently deliver, and this one is no exception—"Telegram" comes to mind as a similar experience. The lineup of artists featured here is particularly impressive. Standout tracks include "Sacrifice" (Death Grips Remix), "Mutual Core" (These New Puritans Remix featuring Solomon Islands Song), and "Crystalline" (Omar Souleyman Version). While I thoroughly enjoyed the album, the pressing quality is disappointing. The audio ranges from mediocre to downright poor, with Björk's vocals sounding unnaturally tense and some instruments muffled. It's a solid pick for Björk enthusiasts and collectors, but not the best introduction to her music or her vinyl discography.
