Tibetan Freedom Festival Report

Here's a small report on Bj÷rk's performance at the Tibetan Freedom Festival. First of all Bj÷rk did not attend the chat session at Sonicnet, her reason (according to sonicnet) was that she wanted to save her voice for the performance.

We where a bit disappointed BUT during the concert Bj÷rk makes it even with us. She played lots of NEW songs of the upcoming album "Homogenous". It tried to describe the songs, here is the list:

1. Techno Prayer - Trip hop style song.
2. State of Emergency - sounds like "Enjoy" over the edge part II.
3. Hunter - Spanish influence with lots of drums.
4. Isobel - Great version much better then original (with a nice techno beat)
5. Hyperballad - 'horror/spooky' version (nice end with strings)
6. Pluto - In one word WONDERFUL (danceable)

The new band who support Bj÷rk is: Eumir Deodato (produced Isobel on Post), Mark Bell (from LFO) and a 8 strings band (from the USA). The concert was just great, It's great that Bj÷rk canceled the chat session, because I heard a crack in her voice, probably got a cold or it was my Real Audio player wich was f*cked up :).
