      |  |  |  |  |  note:Recorded in Spain in 1997, "Homogenic" was Björk's first collaboration with
LFO's Mark Bell. The resulting album is a tribute to Iceland, with all the songs featuring a homogeneic usage of volcanic beats and exaggeratedly romanticized patriotic string arrangements.

  note:"Drawing Restraint 9," a visual film project by Mattew Barney, 
  concentrates on the relationship between self-imposed resistance and 
  creativity. Björk composed a soundtrack that mirrors this struggle by wedding 
  the traditional musical forms of Japan and her uncompromising musical vision.
