Björk, whom I had mostly forgotten about

Come to find out there are a number of interesting videos to her credit. (Yes, I am behind the curve on this stuff)

Both of which I find highly entertaining. I have meant to get around to looking into The Sugarcubes for quite some time. I think they only had three studio albums. Any recommendations as to which of The Sugarcube's albums would be better to start with?

I've been a long time Bjork fan, since the sugarcubes. her videos are always amazing. many (most?) directed by  Michel Gondry  who was one of the first major users of the super slow motion multi camera effect like from the movie Matrix. it appeared in Bjork's "Army of Me" video.
The original Sugarcubes sound is a bit harsher than Bjork solo but 'Life's too Good' is a classic.

Can you sample each The Sugarcubes album using the Spotify program on a computer/smartphone? you can listen to all the albums yourself for free!

It has only been over the last few months that I have realized that there has been a continued history of music videos that I had thought mostly extinct. You're right, there are many videos done to her music that are pretty surreal. This has piqued my interest in looking a little more comprehensively at what she has been doing. I knew she was with The Sugarcubes before going solo. And I have a copy of Debut that I bought around the time it came out. But that was about all that I was familiar with. Right now I am digesting Homogenic and Solo.

I'll do a little streaming of some Sugarcubes to see what their compositions are like. Didn't think I would like electronica that much but just goes to show ya ...
