Bjork is one of the most recognized stars in the world. She has sold millions of copies of her groundbreaking albums, she is an icon of cutting edge style, and hse has received worldwide acclaim as an actress. Medulla, Bjork's first new studio album in three years, was a critical success, which found her delving deeper than ever before into her haunting and exilarating sound and vision. Bjork's fans can now experience the visual artistry of the Medulla Videos in one collection. The collection includes videos for tracks from Bjork's Medulla including a look behind the scenes of the making of the video for Triumph of a Heart. Track Listings: Oceania (video), Who Is It? (video), Triumph of a Heart (video), Desired Constellation (video), Where Is the Line (video), Triumph Of a Heart (stories behind the music video) .
The Medúlla Videos Reviews:
How much weirder can this freak get? 
2007-10-03 - I tell you, this girl is strange. And she just gets stranger and stranger. No telling what she's going to do next. That "where is the line" video really freaked me out, the song did too. A pleasant but odd assault on the senses.
Not a lot of bang for your buck 
2006-06-08 - I liked the videos on this DVD, but there weren't very many of them. This is the third Bjork DVD I've bought (I also have the greatest hits videos and the inner part of a plant or animal structure one) and it had the least amount of interesting material on it.
The videos are great, I especially liked the documentary behind "Triumph of a Heart"
The video for "Where is the Line" was interesting, but I didn't really understand it very well. I know she's fond of making nonsense or humorous things but I liked the song so much on the CD that seeing the video was a let-down. If there were any explaination at all as to why she did it that way, it would be very helpful.
Triumph of a Collection
2006-03-22 - This is the perfect capping for Bjork's Medulla era. Every video here is more inventive and original than any she's ever done in the past. Ranging from the utterly gorgeous Oceania, to the pop-like bell-induced version of Who Is It, to the mellow artful Desired Constellation, to the fun hip-hop dance number Triumph of a Heart, to the eery Where Is The Line. These videos can be appreciated by Bjork and art fans alike, but not by the mainstream public. And maybe that's a good thing.
Finally the videos
2006-02-25 - Oceania- her first single the video is stunning with beautifal computerized effects.
Who is it- Very good setting for this song I like how she is in the middle of nowhere it makes for a great setting.
Triumph of a HEart- Very good idea to take it back to basics. THe audition mix is the best version, I like how the people are beatboxing.
Desired Constellation- THe vidoe may be simple but the song is very good.
Where is the line- the most graphic video from Bjork if you thought pagan poetry was graphic wait til you see this one!! I call it the invasion of the GRASS people!!!
Spectacular Spectacle
2006-02-24 - Love the Medúlla album and am thrilled with the visual interpretations of the selected songs from it on this video DVD! They range from ethereal to tongue-in-cheek to even a touch disturbing, but they are all arresting and engaging and downright fun to watch. I wish more musical artists could find the same level of visual artistry for their music as Björk does.
