The album was recorded during Björk's time in The Sugarcubes. Six or seven of the original fourteen songs are jazz standards, but sung in Icelandic; plus the two live bonus tracks at the end are straightforward covers in English.

Björk and the band also looked pretty lively:

• ‘Luktar Gvendur’ + ‘Brestir Og Brak’ + Interview (Icelandic) Iceland (30-08-1990)

• ‘Kata Rokkar’ (‘Kata Rocks’) Gling-Gló Live @ Hemmi Gunn Show, Iceland (1990)

• Live at Stöð 2 (Station 2) (1991)

One of the more underrated Eurythmics albums. Was overlooked at the time it was released as it was a film soundtrack and contains instrumentals, (so that kinda made it less a "real" Eurythmics album than a non-soundtrack record, which is bullshit but there it was) and a few of the tracks like Julia and For the Love of Big Brother are hauntng examples of the range that Annie Lennox has. The track Sexcrime got modest radio airplay, but the rest of the songs were ignored, which was a shame.

Enjoy!

This just dropped today. I pre-ordered my physical copy already and listened to the digital release this morning. If this wasn't on your radar already, I encourage you to give it a listen. I'm still digesting my listen through it. If you've listened to it, what are your thoughts?
