B-side from the single Isobel (1995)
I’ve never been in love with Bjork’s music. To be sure, Bjork is a consummate artist and I do enjoy and have much respect for the majority of her work; I’ve just never been part of the “Bjork-is-untouchable” group. But if I were to become part of that club, it would be because of this song.
I Go Humble never fails to send me into a state of trance-like bliss.
There’s something in the earnest subjugation of her voice, the spacey electronic melodies and the disjointed-but-smooth percussion that just captivate me for its entire five minute length every time I listen to it. It has done that for the past ten years.

Couldn’t get the clip to play. Is it possible to put where the link is located in a follow up. Thanks.

Hmm, that’s strange, Dave. I’ve never had a complaint about the audio player. What system/browser are you using?
Anyway, turns out that last.fm has a full streaming version available, so I’ve replaced my audio with theirs. Hope you enjoy it.

Ok sorry about that but its working now. Mac/G4/Safari/10.3.5. That might have been the problem. It was just buffering the song but like I mentioned its playing fine now.
Back to the song in question Bjork sounds the same (even Sugarcube songs). Her vocal style is unique and either you’re a fan of not. Its all about her producers/djs that can change the sound slightly.

Oh, I consider myself a fan (I’ve got collections of singles and b-sides), it’s just that there seems to be the cult-of-bjork that considers everything she does to be impeccable and beyond reproach. I’m not a part of that.
She does have some damn good music though.

As for browser, I’ve never tested it with Safari 1 (from Panther). I do suppose that could have been the problem.
