Her Greatest Hits

Compil. US 1997 on RCA Victor Red Seal label
Electronic and Classical (Modern Classical, Experimental, Contemporary)

"Printed in USA" Sleeve notes by Evelyn Glennie about Björk tracks: "My Spine" is from a group of pieces Björk and myself wrote and experimented with during our initial meeting. I say "experiment" because that is exactly what we did in my recording studio. "Oxygen" was the first experiment Björk and I made back in 1995. Everything we did we recorded; this piece, with all the pops, rattles and other unrefined noises, shows that this was a totally spontaneous effort - without 'makeup' or doctoring of any kind. This is how I like to make music.
