In 2005 , the UNICEF charity record '' Army of Me : Remixes and Covers '' was released ; it is a collection of seventeen eclectic remixes of " Army of Me " . All profits went directly to the charity , to assist the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami . '' Live at Shepherds Bush Empire '' was released as a VHS in November , 1998 , containing the last performance of the Post Tour , which took place at Shepherds Bush Empire in February 1997 . '' Post Live '' , a live album consisting of songs recorded during the Post Tour , was included in the 2003 box set '' Live Box '' . The 2002 box set '' Family Tree '' includes demos and alternate versions of various tracks off the album . '' Post '' has been reissued several times , adapting to different formats such as colored records , 180g vinyl , and DualDisc . A remastered version of the album in surround sound was included in the box set '' Surrounded '' , which was released in 2006 on Elektra Records . In 2012 , Universal Japan issued a limited edition of '' Debut '' and '' Post '' together as one compilation . In 2008 , when asked how she felt about the album in retrospect , Björk reflected : " I listened to '' Post '' when we did the surround mixes of it like two or three years ago and I have to say I was kinda surprised how the odd spastic thing of the album had actually aged well . I was very aware of it at the time that I needed to be musically promiscuous and have almost every song a different mood/style and so on . " '' Post '' " came fully equipped " with six music videos , one for each single , many of which have gone on to become classics — most notably " It 's Oh So Quiet " and " Army of Me " . At the time of its release — and since the new wave era — music videos were an essential part of an artist 's commercial success , as evident in the popularity of MTV , a channel with a primarily young audience . Music videos also began to be used as an art form , and Björk 's visual output during this period — and her career in general — have become a clear example of the medium 's artistic legitimation . Spanish writer Estíbaliz Pérez Asperilla has identified recurring motifs and themes through Björk 's videography ; these include nature and a magnified depiction of Björk . Surrealism and technology have also been identified as recurring features in Björk 's visual output of this period . David Ehrlich of '' Time Out '' wrote , " In addition to being one of the first artists to meaningfully explore the aesthetic and semiotic value of CG and its relationship to the body , Björk has collaborated with the likes of Michel Gondry , Spike Jonze and Chris Cunningham , pushing these directors toward their potential . " Writing for '' Paste '' , Alexa Carrasco felt , " Björk has created some of the most beautiful and weird videos to ever play on MTV . " Michel Gondry , who had directed the clip for Björk 's debut single , " Human Behaviour " , directed the music videos for " Army of Me " , " Isobel " and " Hyperballad " . " Army of Me " begins with Björk driving a massive truck , which has been described as " alternately looking like an overgrown SUV and a science fiction tank " . Elements of cyberpunk — reflecting the industrial sonority of the song — have also been noted in the clip . The video then depicts Björk attending the dentist ( a gorilla ) , since she has a toothache . The " dentist " finds a diamond inside her mouth . Björk said , ... And when Michel gets his strokes of genius and , in the video for " Army of Me " , wants a dentist that 's a gorilla to find a diamond in my mouth , some people call it nonsense . But it 's probably the most realistic way of expressing what situation I 'm in — all these people trying to take things away from me , and the gorilla finding a diamond that I do n't know I have and then stealing it . " Army of Me " is so much about me actually learning that I have to defend myself . I have to stand up and fight the fucking gorilla . Once I 've got the diamond and I run away with it , it becomes massive ' cos it 's mine . But if the gorilla had kept it , it would have gone really tiny . That 's surrealism for me . By throwing the diamond inside the truck 's " mouth " , Björk fixes the problems the vehicle had . She then goes to an art museum , where her loved one is held on display . The video comes to an end as Björk plants a bomb in the museum and , after the explosion , " comes and retrieves her loved one , crying small diamonds onto his shoulder " . Regarding the music video , Lainna Fader of '' LA Weekly '' wrote , " of the seven videos Gondry directed for her , " Army of Me " is probably the creepiest " . On 13 May 1995 , '' Billboard '' wrote it was , " visually striking " . At the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards , " Army of Me " was nominated for Best Special Effects in a Video and the International Viewer 's Choice Award
