I personally have no problem with this DVD not being in surround sound 5.1 Plain ole Stereo is good enough for me. If I wanna hear Medulla on 5.1 surround ( and it DOES sound INCREDIBLE that way ) then I'll put the cd in my theater system. As for the contents of the DVD itself, it is an indespensible and fascinating look into the world of Bjork. Her interaction with the other artists is fun to watch, as the excitement like that of a little child sometimes overtakes her. Seeing and hearing the raw material that went into the creation of Medulla is also quite interesting, how it was recorded and then digitally manipulated.

If you have Medulla, and like it ( it has a certain divisive effect on fans, it seems ) I highly recommend this DVD. I recall seeing a documentary on cable around the time of the release of Homogenic ( my favourite Bjork album ) that chronicled its creation , much like this dvd does. I would like to have that too, but unfortunately I am not aware of a commercial release.

This was a very enjoyable documentary to watch. I think that it's about 40 minutes long. It allows you to see all of the sounds coming from the mouths of those who make it for this album (Medulla). It's really incredible to watch this album get made. I recommend it highly. What's nine dollars anyways?

This DVD. in my opinion, was way too short...but I think its because I liked it so much! Its amazing how strange all the vocal pieces sound alone but when added together, get this huge, unorthodox sound. Its really a renaissance album focusing on the individual and the amazing complexity of the human voice. The artists in this film are definately no average people. I think, to make music like this, you have to walk to edge of craziness. Bjork definately thinks outside the box and this DVD really shows her creativeness as an artist. Plus, Rahzel, the beat boxer, is just out of this world. You won't be dissapointed.

I love the fact that Bjork's latest projects get documented, so we can get some insight as to the process she goes thru with her work. Eventhough i'd like to see more of the nitty-gritty detail involved...what you do get to witness is still fulfilling. PLus, how can you beat an opportunity to see how adorable and funny Bjork is as a creator ! :) Best highlight of this DVD is to see her in a room filled with Brazilian drummers, and there she is...so tiny and full of fire, directing the rhythms. Plus, it's worth to have the DVD, just for the lil' noisy interludes before each chapter. ANd the main menu...i blare it and keep it running...gives me laughs.

If watching the unfolding of creative vision appeals to you then this DVD is a must. Bjork has a unique and wonderfully realized visionary approach to aural and visual presentation. This DVD deals exclusively with the former. It provides an intimate glimpse into the creative process involved in the creation of her latest CD, Medulla. She is in some ways the female equivalent of Capt. Beefheart. Her works are deeply personal and often challenge the preconcieved notions of how music SHOULD sound. Those brave enough to wade into the current of her creative stream will be richly rewarded. This DVD also reveals the workings of a modern studio and the magic it is capable of creating when wielded by a girl and a dream.
