August 22, 2003:
Fair warning to all Björk-dorks: most of the content on these CDs is basically just a rehash of the live DVD series (specifically, MTV Unplugged, Live at Cambridge, Live a Shepard's Bush Empire, and LIve at the Royal Opera House). Of course, there are advantages to this; like being able to here the live tracks in Pro Logic 5.1, ripping and burning your own Live Björk albums, less compressed audio, and of course the convenience of not having to buy the DVDs if you don't have a player, can't afford them all or don't want them (although I'll tell you right now, Björk's pretty damn hot and leggy in the Unglugged DVD). I actually own all of the Live DVD series so far and knew the Box set was going to be the same, but I purchased it anyway for some of the conveniences listed above and for the extra tracks ("it's oh so quiet" live at last!). But if you don't want it don't feel obligated to buy it; even Björk herself has stated that it's only for people who want it.
