Album Notes
Coming off the heels of her quirky, but no less enjoyable for it, 2007 album VOLTA, Icelandic songstress Bjork has released the multi-disc box set VOLTAIC, a deluxe package filled with VOLTA-related live recordings, remixes, videos, and concert tour highlights. Available in no less than five different packagings, including single disc, multi-disc, and multi-disc plus vinyl configurations, there is enough Bjork material on offer here to please even the most diehard fanatic.
Leave it to Bjork to make a live album set that can be treated as part of her regular body of work rather than a side note. 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, tapping into the most dramatic, primal and elegant aspects of Bjork's art overall. It's fitting, then, that the chronicles of the VOLTA tour are just as thoughtfully crafted as the shows were (and since VOLTAIC comes in several different releases ranging from a single live disc to a CD, DVD and vinyl extravaganza, fans can pick the size that suits them best). Given that the live CD was recorded in better conditions than many studio albums get, it's no surprise that the sound quality is excellent. This is not a warts-and-all concert recording with the occasional muddy audio and lots of crowd interaction; instead, it feels like listener is hiding in a studio booth as Bjork and her band perform a flawless rehearsal.
