Milleynti

Cocoon is extremely similar to Opiate - Insert from Opiate / Dub Tractor - Opiate / Dub Tractor Split. I'm literally shook.

Urllet

Wow, never heard of Opiate and that album seems very obscure but they do sound EXTREMELY similar. Did some research and found that the dude behind Opiate actually helped produce Vespertine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Knak

Ffel

How about the pressing and sound quality? Mine is a little bit too noisy, I mean, the vinyl crackle.

BORZOTA

I bought 2 copies of this pressing and both sounds not as good as the Japanese version. If you are into original/first pressing you will be astonished by the quality of this one. https://www.discogs.com/es/Bj%C3%B6rk-Vespertine/release/2187542

Yndanol

Mine is ;Disc 1 - 160g actuallyDisc 2 - 180g actuallyWhat about yours?I guess mine is original press and I bought second hand so might be switched but the number is both TPLP101.

Gaxaisvem

Just submitted the reissue... See if it goes through.

Akirg

it seems to be true, i.e. "they recently used the 2008 DMM stampers to press another run" - seems they have sold all their vinyl stock, but they should have some vinyl version of this album for sale, right ? so they have pressed it again... recently a similarly described version of her greatest hits vinyl was submitted. Also there was this event ("Independent music labels left 'devastated' by riot fire"), maybe it had some impact on repressing: http://www.bbc.com/newsbeat/14460204

Saithinin

Bought my vinyl copy from her website a few months ago (it's not on there anymore) and I don't think my version is listed here. Its cat# is TPLP101, same as the original UK press and its on 2x180g (i think) LP. However the matrix numbers have DMM attached to them (eg TPLP101 A1 DMM) and it's not individually numbered like the 2008 ltd run. So I'm guessing this was a larger run pressed after 2008 using the DMM? I'd add it myself but I have no more info about this, other that the fact that it was mastered by Christian Wright ('christian @ abbey road' is scratched on the runout grooves of side D).

Yahm

I also noticed that the packaging itself is a bit different. it is thinner than the original gatefold sleeve

Trash Obsession

Yeah that's what I'm saying, mine's not 200g or individually numbered but on the runout grooves it says 'DMM' after the matrix numbers. So don't know what's going on, maybe they recently used the 2008 DMM stampers to press another run or something.

Burirus

The DMM editions are on 200g virgin vinyl don't forget

Fenrikree

According to me, there are two Björk eras musically speaking: the one from "Debut" to "Selmasongs" and the other one from "Vespertine" to the present day ("Biophilia" as I'm writing this comment). I assume that the experience of shooting the "Dancer In The Dark" movie has been some sort of an eye-opening for Björk because her music has never been the same after that.As a Björk fan I had to adapt to that change or stop listening to her new music, which I almost did when "Vespertine" came out. I know that to many fans this record is her best one, but to me this will always be the record that I never succeeded in getting into. It took a very long time to grow on me but not enough to become more than my least favorite Björk album. It has a lot to do with the way this record is produced. Björk allowed all those little "insect" sounds to flood the music. Former standard music structure began to crack, opening the way to a more personal way of singing, leaving apart easy tunes and finding a way to express deep-rooted emotions either with sounds and noises or the voice itself."Vespertine" might have come ahead of its time, a landmark from which Björk never stopped digging deeper to find new ways of expressing herself through the most various forms of music.I am grateful to "Vespertine" for that, for the direction that Björk has taken since the release of that record. But even though I got to love "Medulla", "Volta" and "Biophilia" thanks to the foundations "Vespertine" has laid, this one record remains for me an heterogeneous music experiment that I can't help loving and hating at the same time...

Yar

I'll see your Debut to Vespertine and raise you a Debut to Greatest Hits, with It's in our Hands being the swansong, um, song, for the first era. Family Tree and Live Box were also 2003/4ish I believe? She seemed to do a big look back, tying up the loose ends before diving into Medulla. To ReadyBeast: interesting take and good review however, music hits us all in different ways...

Keth

It's debut to Vespertine. All bjork fans know this but I guess you missed it.

Livina

Interesting review... for me Vespertine was great. After that she got too weird for me. If this was the foundation... it went far enough for me. Although I probably need to give the later records a second chance.
