Björk: Voltaic Trailers

Leave it to Björk to make a concert release that can be treated as part of her regular body of work rather than a side note. While Björk fans have occasionally complained about the amount of repackaging of her albums, Voltaic reaffirms just how important the live aspect is to her music, and provides a couple of different perspectives on it as well. Volta sparked a particularly inspired and lavish tour that, arguably, ended up being bigger than the actual album was, but tapped into the most dramatic, primal, and elegant aspects of Björk's art overall. It's fitting, then, that the chronicles of the Volta tour are just as thoughtfully crafted as the shows were.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Voltaic is one of the best live recordings of Icelandic Björk. In a show of about 2 hours, she wanders through a world of profound songs from her recent album, Volta, which sound the deepest regret - as the genial Pneumonia - to the sound of lively beats and noises of ships and mud, in the opening the show with Earth Intruders. Björk's voice still sounds like a perfect rarity blended with organic beats of their new songs and their classic, like the dramatic "Pagan Poetry" and the heavy "playing". The lush and extremely colorful costumes, in combination with the theme of the disk, called attention throughout the show, the colorful dress of the first act extremely well prepared to frown robe of the second act, Björk does not mind being barefoot and dancing like a child throughout the show, which makes it incredibly interesting and raw (following the line of reasoning of the associated disk)
