Bjork's "Hyper-ballad" vs. Yoko Kanno's "Where Does The Ocean Go?"

Posted over 2 years ago
For all the interesting stuff Yoko Kanno does, there are times when it's very clear she is inspired by other artists. I posted a while back about the similarities between her "Cyberbird" and the track "Battersea" by Hooverphonic. Now, it's time to compare Kanno's "Where Does The Ocean Go?" to Bjork's "Hyper-ballad."I think these two tracks are more similar to each other than the "Cyberbird" and "Battersea" are. First, take a listen to Bjork's earlier "Hyper-ballad":

  1. Sterfish says Now listen to Yoko Kanno's later "Where Does The Ocean Go?" from the first Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex soundtrack: To me, the main difference is in the speed. Kanno's track is a little bit faster. The vocalist, Ilaria Graziano, also did the vocals for the song "Christmas In The Silent Forest" which, while inspired by early Bjork, doesn't sound like any Bjork song I've ever heard. What do you think? Does "Where Does The Ocean Go?" compare at all to Bjork's great "Hyper-ballad"?
