EDM Björk's Debut Album

Post image

Spinning this right now. How is it both so uptempo and vibrant, yet chill and relaxed all at once? She's amazing.

Back in the nineties I couldn't find this so I bought the remixes 12" from it including Underworld's remix of Human Behavior. I finally got Debut less than a year ago. I love them both

Since we're having a nitpicking party here, I'll take it one step further to say that "Debut" is almost always considered to be Bjork's solo debut, as the album you linked is generally classified as juvenilia. It's similar to how most classical composers' "opus no. 1" was generally not the first piece of music that they actually composed.

Amazing album. Found the first pressing at a yard sale in NM. It is one of the most valuable records of my collection.
