content: The lush orchestration and electronic experimentation that typify much of Björk's work have been abandoned in an ambitious undertaking; a record almost entirely comprising layers of vocal sampling and manipulation. On "Medulla" - by definition, the innermost part of an organ, or marrow, Björk is at her most artistic, deftly evoking human traits and spirituality with voices arranged in harmony and discord. The result is an inherently organic and expressive album that encompasses moments of both impenetrability, such as the abrasive "Ancestors", and exhilaration: the aquatic "Oceania" and celebratory "Triumph Of A Heart", and is likely to be received with considerable ambivalence.
