VoltaThe place at which a distinct turn of thought occurs. The term is most commonly used for the characteristic transition point in a sonnet, as between the octave and sestet of a Petrarchan sonnet. (from Answers.com)I'm going with that definition as this album seems to mark a point of transition, or a meeting of ages. I'll leave it to someone more eloquent than I to give a more in-depth review, but suffice it to say this is a well-realised album. Working her voice, Bjork seems to revel in past sound structures while moving forward, as evidenced by the Timbaland connection. Pure beauty comes through sonically, but it is not overworked nor do you feel like it's hitting you over the head. Very playful, too.Caveat:Antony is on this album for a track or two. Don't know how anyone else feels about him, but his voice works well in Bjorkland.The video contest for Innocence continues at Bjork's website, FYI.This'll be the last track I post UFN.Come on May8!
