1993: 'Aeroplane' performed with D’Influence
1995: 'Venus As A Boy' with Guy Sigsworth on harpsichord
1995: 'Hyperballad' accompanied by electra strings
1995: 'Possibly Maybe' featuring legendary slide guitarist, BJ Cole
1997: 'Bachelorette' and 'Hunter' with the Icelandic Octet and Mark Bell
1995: 'Jóga' with the Icelandic Octet
1998: 'So Broken' accompanied by world famous Flamenco guitarist, Raimundo Amador
And on the topic of live performances, there's plenty of action in the Gigography as usual. We get reviews and pics and setlists as the shows happen. Ghostigital have been added to two more dates, one shared with Joanna Newsom as openers. The Chicago Sun-Times described their opening gig in Chicago as such:
"As Curver delivered a punishingly loud electro-clash assault, Einar ranted and raved, prancing about the stage and sometimes bounding off it to stroll down the aisle, only steps behind a portion of the audience that ran for the shelter of the lobby to ride out the storm. Those of us who stayed were rewarded with a provocative performance in the great electronic-punk tradition of Suicide, making you think, laugh and surrender to the glorious noise and chaos, and reminding veteran Björk-watchers of when she first started to fly her freak-flag high."
Top Ten Chart Positions:
Volta went into the USA Charts at Number 9, making it a TopTen hit in the USA, previously Medúlla reached 14. Volta entered UK at #7, #1 in Norway, Iceland and Denmark. It is aswell riding high in other countries: France, Italy and Japan.
